Dear Magdalene,
We surely enjoy your letters.
You really have a classy printer. I'm impressed with the quality. I finally had it dawn on me that mine would work better if I got a new ribbon. I have had it for about six or seven years and had never changed the ribbon. It does alot better now.
I appreciate the update on Mother's health situation.
I am still tentatively planning on coming back to Utah in June. I still didn't feel too secure about the prospect though, so I had Megan get airline tickets. So we won't be bringing her back. Janet's family on her mother's side are having a reunion down by St. George. We're hoping to include that in the trip. It's on June 12.
The weather is getting warmer. I should be able to plant melons pretty soon. The wind is starting to blow. That really makes farming hard. The ground dries out so fast that it really makes it hard on seedlings. It's difficult to sprout shallow seeds like flowers.
We have alot of little lambs out in our pasture. Our neighbor grazes his Barbados sheep out there. Many of them are black. Some are brown and black and some are black and white. There are also some little baby wild bunnies on our lawn and around the barn.
Our peacocks are really pretty. Their tails are about four feet long. One of the cocks is wandering around the yard. The others are in the pen.
We sold Wilma, Sam's pig. She got so big that she would knock Sammy down trying to get the feed when he went out to feed her. She also got out of her pen pretty often and went wandering over to the neighbor's yards. I think that made them alittle nervous.
Janet got a bunch of genealogy from a cousin's wife. Her father's people settled in Fairview and Mt. Pleasant. The names were Tew, Miner, Durfee, and Nielsen. So if you run across any of those names they are probably her distant relatives. I think Melinda's husband's people were in that area also (Christensen.)
Pete is loving his mission. He has really liked his companions so far and is having some good experiences. The changes that a mission brings in some young people are really impressive. I love having a kid on a mission. It's really exciting.
A family from our ward here in Los Banos is living in my Manti house until summer. The husband says he's accepted into medical school in Mexico to start in August. He's finishing up some business here and trying to sell or rent his place here.
I love you and really appreciate having you for my sister.
Love, Robert
