On Friday, June 6th, Diane Roe visited with Wendy for a couple of hours. She had flown into Salt lake City and then taken a bus to Pocatello to visit with a family friend in Pocatello. Diane rented a car from me on Thursday and then visited with Wendy on Friday.
On Saturday, June 7th, we worked for most of the day, and then we went to a ward talent show at the church gymnasium. We brought Joyce with us, and Jeffrey played the piano. It was nice to see him perform again. I really hope it isn't the last time we see him play the piano in public. There was a good turn out, and we watched Will Leavitt sing a song, and his father, Danny Leavitt played the guitar and sang a song he wrote about Idaho. Daniel Park played the drums and several children participated as well.
On Sunday, June 8th, we rented a minivan and the four of us, Wendy, Jeffrey, Joyce, and I drove down to Tyler and Jaylen's home to celebrate Baylor's 5th birthday. It was a week early due to some travel that Tyler needs to do next week. Ashley, Caz, and Camden were there along with Jaylen's parents. We had chicken, fries and toast from Raising Cain's, and a good watermelon followed by cupcakes and ice cream. Baylor received some nice gifts including a craft kit, games, a scooter with LED lights and a Specialized bicycle. We all went outside to watch her try them out. We were amazed to see how quickly she was able to pedal the bicycle, steer, and balance on her own. Murphy drove around in the electric Jeep, but only as directed by remote control.
We spent a couple of hours there, then Wendy, Joyce, and I went to Provo to visit a long time friend of Joyce's from Arizona. She is now living in Provo at the Courtyard at Jamestown. It is a beautiful care center, and Joyce and her friend had a nice visit for about an hour. Then we drove to Caz and Ashley's home to pick up Jeffrey and rest a bit before heading back to Pocatello.
