Sammy's last days

We are sorry to see that Sammy is in his last days in mortaility. he cannot walk either up or down the stairway. When he lays around he does not often raise his head. When he does walk it is slow and at time halted. He has lived a good 17 years+. Sammy has been with Jo for about 14 of his 17 years. This is part of the life of having loving pets.

Paul and Ingrid's Wedding is coming up soon.

Jo and I are so excited that Paul and Ingrid has chosen to get married and married in the temple. May 17th is just around the corner so this special day is coming up quickly. As their father, I as so proud of Paul and his choice of a wonderful companion. This will be a great day for the Taylor and Ingrid's family. Paul will be the fifth child of our family to get married. Only Jacob and Jarom remain unattached though Jarom has a girl friend that he thinks alot of.

Febrary is upon us.

I was back in Washington DC for 6 days at the end of January in an effort to work with congress on 3 issues that affect blind persons. It is always fun to go to Washington and walk the halls of congress and meet with our representatives. There was an opportunity to take some students around and visit some of the monuments. We went to the Toumb of the Unknown Soldier and was the changing of the guard. We also went to the top of the Washington monument. Perhaps I can provide some pictures later.

I will be in Baltimore this coming weekend to a web seminar. So I do keep busy.

I am working in the family search indexing program. It is a way that folks can make microfilm records available for folks to help find their relatives. So as you can see I am keeping busy.
