April Happenings

The birth of Becca, our fifth grandchild, got the month off to a great start!

I attended the Idaho Dietetic Association Conference where I picked up lots of interesting information about diabetes care, bariatric surgery, metabolic syndrome, nutritional counseling to motivate, probiotics and prebiotics, and cooking with natural flavor enhancers.

We enjoyed a short visit from Jacob after his winter internship in Italy. He stayed for a couple of days before continuing his journey to Utah and then on to Encinitas, CA to start his summer internship with another design firm. (Jacob, by-the-way, loves his new job, thinks his little room in the Russian couples' home is perfect and can't believe how beautiful Encinitas is!)

We drove to Utah to attend Uncle Dale's 90th birthday celebration. After celebrating over dinner at the Ogden Country Club, Jim and I, Gordon and Sandy, Sam and Hilary, and Tom joined Dale and Maurine for cake and ice cream in their home. Uncle Dale had a smile that wouldn't quit! We loved listening to Uncle Dale's stories and visiting with members of the Wilson family.

Yeah! Another chance to visit with Elly, Brian and the grandkids!
We also payed a visit to Grandma Wilson in the care center. She didn't have much to say but she laughed at all of our jokes! Afterwards, Grandma and Grandpa Cannon fed us a great lunch. We enjoyed the opportunity to visit with them.
