Dear family, neighbors,crazy people, Today is a sad day because in the obit in the paper this morning I read the name of a good friend that had just died. He has been in a wheelchair for quite awhile but its sad to lose a good friend, His name was Ervin Crosbie and I've known him for quite a few years. As I know too well life goes on. My deepest sympatheys to his wife and family. On a brighter note my Granddaughter who has been waiting for a visa to come through to Brazil came through and soon she will be in the mission field in Brazil. Way to go Tiff. I'm so happy for you, Her younger brother is on his mission in France and has been for a year. Here at Terrace Grove we are waiting with baited breath for the new year to dawn. Really another day among days. What surprizes can it bring. I don't mean to be cynical. I love all of you and wish the best for everyone in the New Year.Love one another and Keep Smiling, Grandpa, Dad,

Dear Crazy people, friends,& Family,Its time to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, This last week or so has been one of those weeks that one would like to forget at least part of. suffice to say I've been to the hospital at midnight to the emergency room iching all over as with hives only no hives,I've had my blood tested three or four times and taken tranuillizers and benidrill and still don't know exactely what is wrong with me but at least I feel a little better. I also have been privilliged to have been to two great programs, First last Sat afternoon my Son Scott got tickets to a Christmas Concert at the Kent Concert hall at U.S.U. put on by Craig Jessop and the music Dept at Utah state. They must have had at least 300 singers, Members of the orchestra, Dancers, Bell Ringers from the local Prespateriian church.All in all it was a great Christmas progam. Such wonderful singing and playing, & dancing. And then to add to the enjoyment of the Christmas season,Yesterday morning Michael Ballam and his family came and upstairs gave a program of Christmas caroles and songs, He really is quite a showman in addition to being agreat singer and musician and he really has a talented family. His oldest girl has a most beautiful voice and the other kids are almost as good. I must say I'm almost feeling better. Then sunday afternoon we had our family Christmas Party which was great. What a blessing a family is. As my oldest boy Kim says Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren are the greatest things anywhere. To all of you friends, neighbors, Familys, and Crazy people I love all of you and wish you all the very best of a merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Dear Crazy people and friends & Relatives, This hasn't beeen one of my better weeks, Starting last Saturday I've been sick either with the flu or something,who knows I'd be cold and shaking for awile and then get burning up finaly it all came to a head yesterday when I got sick to my stomach and threw up everything which seemed to help but then I went to bed right after lunch and woke up at 9:00 P.M. thought it was 9:00A.M. got up put on my clothes washed my face took my Morning pills and went out in the Living room and thought Oh well Iv'e missed breakfast but why is it still dark outside at nine finaly I went out in the hall and caught the nurse and ask her if it was morning or night she said Art its nine, at night. so I looked in the mirror to see if I still knew who I was, went back out to the living room read for an hour came back in the bedroom took my night pills and went back to bed. Got up this morning not feeling real good but able to move performed my morning chores and went o breakfast at 7:15 A.M. I got up at 5:00 shaved. Anyhow its been an interesting time. Before I forget may I wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy Year and thank everyone for thier Kindness and friendship in the trying days of Maes & Grandmas, Great grandmas passing. I would'nt have made it without you. We've had some really programs and some in the spirit of giving, A piano teacher brought some of her students ,some were pretty good,some just tried hard but they tried and not only that they brought a whole bunch of cookies of different kinds for everybody. You can't beat that. Well its time for what dinner I'm going to eat so I'll say again Love one another, help one another and Love the Lord with all your heart

Dear crazy people and friends & family, last night the Providence 10th ward Young women came here to Terrace Grove and put on a show for we inmates. I still can't believe the amount of talent in a ward Young Womens organization and the number of kids partisapating. they had girls from Bee hive age on up playing violins, chellos, piano, also piano duets, violin & chello, sister dancing, tumbling, singing, about any thing you can think of. Suffice to say it was a great evening We even sang Christmas carols. Or croked in some of our cases. During the night we got another invh of snow and it got to about 5 below or so the news said. Today its cold and cloudy. Breakfast was Bacon, Sauage, eggs, toast, prunes if you wanted them juice, orange, peach, hot, choclate, & water. As far as I'm concerned, Breakfast is the best meal of the day. I don't really have much appitite but I do enjoy Breakfast. I realize that I,m rambling on but such is the life of an older infirm resident. It isn't the way I would have wished for but this is the way the good lord wanted it to be at this time , Im grateful for my testimony of Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Jesus Christ,& that we have a Prophet to guide us in the person of Thomas Monsen. I Love my family, & Friends & All the other crazy people I come in contact with. See you later Love one another and help each other.

Dear Crazy people and friends another day in the life & times of Art. Today I together with Kim My oldest son went up to my house at 11:30 A .M. and got my Car. I drove my car down to wilson motor and kim followed me in his car. I had an appointment to have the car serviced and inspected for the new year so I can get a new licence due in January. We left the car and Kim & I went to Burger king for a hamburger & fries & a diet coke. We then came back to Terrace Grove and visited until 1:15 P.M. when Lynette the Service manager called & told me the car was ready. We then went up, got the car & paid the bill and back up home and put the car in the garage, oh by the way while at Burger King, Dave Rose came in together with his sister and her husband and Daves Mother and her husband. Its a regular thing for them almost every day. Mae & I used to see them every time we went there. Dave used to teach at the middle School here in town. I don't know whether he still does or not. He and Martha, his former wife used to live in the Twenty Third Ward when we were in that Ward years ago. 1990 to be exact. To all those who are interested we have about 4 inches of snow with more to come and colder than old Billy, as they used to say. It was an enjoyable day being with Kim,matbe not interesting to everybody, but very much so to me.Be Happy and kind to those you come in contact with. To all my children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, friends & neighbors, I love you all.
