If this journal is meant to be a daily dairy I am doing a lousy job.  It seems that life seems to take precedent over the recording of said life.  I just get caught up in it and then when I sit down to try and record it I do it in a kind of short-hand way and I never quite do it justice, and I have so much ground to cover that that makes it so much harder on myself. But I don't write it for me, and usually feel like it isn't read by anyone anyway, but I am compelled to try even though I am quite disappointed in the result.  Besides, I don't use any pictures like Shelli and Cicily do and others do on Facebook.  I started down here by reading Shelli's entry which she 'finally' got around to posting.  I 'can't wait' for Sheila to finish her new summer morning routine so I can have her see it.  It makes me happy to see that our 'kids' and their 'kids' are enjoying life too.  Without any real pictures I will try to show that we have enjoyed our time these last several days too.  Saturday was a day off, but we had Robert here working for his mom.  He even tended so we could be out on our own and we went to lunch at Zupa's (we had gone to the Golden Corral on Friday night).  Then we stopped at Deseret Book and got 2 new books for me and 1 for Sheila.  Robert and family stayed overnight (after movie night for Robert, Cicily, Shelli and Phil) and Robert fixed breakfast for us before we went off to church, then they went on to their own church and we had the rest of the Sunday to ourselves.  Sheila' 'exotic' surprise for my dinner  turned into crab legs and corn on the cob and watermelon (a Father's Day delight, indeed!!).  Richard and Kathy dropped by for a few moments later on and after our show ended it was time to call it a day ( a delightful day at that).  Right now we have family driving from back East to here (tomorrow sometime) Family out West driving back tomorrow sometime and all busy doing what they need to be doing.  Me, I'm just trying to meet each day as it comes and figure out how to do it right.  For the first time in a few weeks I have more 'work' work to do then I can finish in one day.  Plus all of the other stuff that I have taken on as projects (including those 2 new books that I have barely started).  But one thing is priority for me.  I accomplished it most the last several days and I intend it for today and each new one coming.  It is spending time with my wife, and as we live our days together (sometimes her outside and me inside) (sometimes her 'there' and me 'here') it  makes everything else so much better.  (pretty soon she'll be 'here' to start her exercises, but first she'll sit here to read 'Shelli', me and we'll watch a few mission call openings) Then we'll keep on just 'doing our days' always together whether in the same place or not!
