She's At It Again

Gloria is purchasing more fabric for another "Project."

July is coming to an end, and it has been rather a busy month for Grandma and Grandpa Malmstrom. We traveled to southern Utah with Aunt Lynette and Uncle Doug, celebrated two holidays, attended the Taylor Family Reunion, drove to American Fork to babysit Avery for Melanie and Randy, entertained Melanie and her children for part of last week, and Gloria has been busy bottling some of our home-grown beans and beets. Then, of course, there's the usual day-to-day things that transpire: yard work, house work, work work, and church work. But, we can't complain. At least we are healthy and can enjoy the comfort of the air conditioner during the hot afternoons.

We're presently waiting for word from Michelle in Portland about Aubry's medical procedure to insert the stint in her heart. The phone lines have certainly been busy transmitting messages back and forth and trying to keep everyone appraised of the progress. Aubry has shown great courage and faith and we are confident that everything will turn out just fine.

Mary was told by her doctor that after this week she should be more or less ready for the baby to come whenever it is ready. That will certainly be a great relief for Mary; the after-delivery part, that is.

School will be starting again in two or three weeks here in Utah. The Warner and Mills families have been able to enjoy swimming at home for the last couple of weeks. They are all probably getting tanned very well.

Welcome home James and family. We understand you had a wonderful time in Montana near Glacier National Park. It's wonderful that we can freely travel about this great country and enjoy the many beautiful and wondrous places that Heaven Father has created for us through his son, Jesus Christ.

We hope little Audrie has completely recovered from her bout with a tree stump in Ogden Canyon recently. She is such an adventurer. We wish we had only a fraction of her energy.

And lastly, we congratulate Nathan for his promotion to store manager. We knew it had to come sooner or later. And Macy is doing some ancillary work with a performing theater that will allow her to do more of what she really loves doing--designing. That's great! And Macy is such a card! She is the life of any party. She's creative and talented. We want her to know that we'll miss not having her here on her birthday (August 10) but that we'll be in touch.

That's about it for now. Adios ah todo!

Hi you two! It is great to hear what your family is up to!! I have missed seeing you and your family. That's what happens when I move to Texas, I guess. Hopefully sometime I'll be able to see Macy since we're fairly close.

I'm glad you're doing great and that Aunt Gloria is still buying fabric for projects :) Love ya!
