Dear family,
     This year has been quite different.  With my problematic eyes, I have been reduced to the level of a beggar, begging someone to take me shopping for groceries, buying medication, going to church.  You name It I have been a beggar for it, well that is until lately my eyes have improved significantly. Yay!!!!  Actually, I didn’t have to beg at all.  My friends and family have been like angels from heaven.
     Jim and family came down for Thanksgiving.   We all went to a very nice restaurant at Zion’s park for Thanksgiving dinner.  It had a wildlife museum attached to the restaurant that we were able to tour after dinner.  We then read a letter from our missionary that completed the day on a spiritual note, It was very special kind of like way to end the day, like the frosting on the cake.  That night we met at the Lancaster’s and played games.  The next day, the ladies shopped and the guys played golf.  Dinner and a movie finished off the day.  Before they all left the next day everyone came to my home and put up my tree and Christmas lights.  What a treat that was!!!!
     I’ve been enjoying the Olympics, especially the skiing and the skating.  It’s been interesting to listen to the interviews of the whole staff that makes this process of an event like the Olympics work.
      I purchased an iPad last spring.  I have really enjoyed the many things that are at my disposal like games, audible books, e-mails from Katie, and a camera.  I have taken 324 punctures at different family functions.  Josh downloaded all the scriptures in BIG print, what an asset that is.
       We had a Star Valley Reunion here at the park last week.  It is amazing how many valley people live here in the winter.
     It is really nice to have Carol, Blair and Josh living here.  Josh is going to school and so he comes to see me on those days. He is so good to help me with odd jobs.  Most of all he is my iPad technician.  Their new house is coming right along, It is going to be a very nice little nest out here in the west.  It is not little by any means.
      I hope all of you have had a good year.  It was so nice to see everyone at the Reunion.  Gerald and Tina really out did themselves. It was Wonderful!!!! Thank you so much!!!
          I had a Great surprise last week. Marisela , Neva, and Cruise stayed with me for a little while. They were on their way to Yuma to put Cruise on a train. It is time for her to return to her home  in Mexico.
I’m sure this year will be a blast too,  Well, so long for Now.  

All my love,

Nadean
