Hi there, from Grandpa and Grandma,

We're finally connected---we think. Thanks for all the info and pictures---we love them and you all. We have some pictures of our apartment we just have to figure out how to send them----groan! Grandpa says thank you so much for his Father's Day---cards and gifts were all just great. We had an after Church BBQ to celebrate the day. BBQ was pre-prepared as were all of the side dishes. I took the corn salsa made with canned chopped tomatoes (you know, the tomatoe scare). It didn't look quite as pretty as it does with real tomatoes but everyone loved it and of course wants the recipe. Hope all you fathers out there had a wonderful day as well with lots of love sent your way---from us as well. Since being here we have had a power outage and now we have broken water mains all throughout the County. We were cautioned to boil water, don't flush toilets, don't water lawns, schools have been released and restaurants closed. This may last for a few days but we were told in the Temple today that the Temple water has not been affected or tainted nor have the apartments where the missionaries live----is that a tender mercy or what?
Love and kisses to you all, Gr. & Gr.
Belated Happy Blog birthdays to Madison and Charlotte!

We're so glad you finally made it back to the blog! We've missed your comments and pictures. It makes you feel closer when we can see you. Thanks to everyone who posts! It keeps the family connected! Grandma and Grandpa love getting letters and packages too! Their address is on the blog. They've developed an affinity for corn nuts--go figure!
