Family Newsletter

It is time for the Family Newsletter. I'm thinking that a fun new way to keep everyone updated on what everyone else is doing is to use the blog. You can use this one or do one of your own, like Carrie is doing. I hope your are checking Carrie's each week. It is so fun; I know you will enjoy it. At any rate, it is fast, fun and we can all keep up on each other's doings and stay in touch with each other. Are you game?

You know about our trip to Hawaii and how terrific that was. We made some new British friends that we have heard from through email. We have really been enjoying that. They live about 20 miles from where our Duke ancestors came from.

Den has had some difficulty with his throat over the past year or so, getting increasingly worse; until he couldn't swallow at all. After three treatments, two weeks apart he is now able to choose what he wants to eat and enjoy. We are so greatful for his recovery. He is back in the swing of things, umpiring ball games. He just returned from a St. George tournament today. He loves it.

On Thursday I spent the night at the sleep clinic. They marked my head with red marker and attached electrodes to my head, face, neck, ribs, and legs. They told me to sleep well, then proceeded to wake me up about every 20 minutes or so to reattach an electrode that had come loose. Then they woke me up at 6:00 am to go home. That was a spooky ride; it had snowed in the canyon during the night, so it was "slip, slide all through the Provo side. The second I reached Wasatch, it was clear, wet roads, and rest of the drive was great. I will get the results on Thursday.

Okay! It is your turn. Tell us what is going on in your life. I'm excited to hear from everyone.
