Venola came to visit us for a few days. I wasn't intelligent enough to take a picture so you'll just have to imagine. She arrived on Monday night and she had fun reading with Noah. Tuesday we mostly just caught up chatting while I knitted. Murray and his mom went for a walk taking Noah over to the church for YM (however, YM had been moved to Wed. but we didn't know). Venola is doing amazingly well considering she just had her knee replacement in May. Of course, she would like it to get better faster, as we all would in her situation, but she has a good attitude about it and is making steady progress. She hardly used her walker at all, but it is good to have ready to make sure she doesn't fall. Wednesday, Murray came home from his University Conference Meetings to take his mom to lunch. I was proud of Murray for declining an assignment from the dean so he could spend this time with Venola. I think it meant a lot to her. She is lots of fun to have around. Hope

Jon & Mindy Originally uploaded by Grandma Boren . Jon & Mindy Scott are back in town for school at BYU. They spent the Summer in Fallon, NV with Mindy's parents where Jon had an internship with the government. He devloped a plan that they will implement for animal control. Apparently people have interesting pets there, including lions and tigers. Jon & Mindy came over for dinner last Sunday and we had a great time eating and enjoying each others company. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them this year. Last year was a blur and unfortunately we didn't see as much of them or Ryan and Kellie and now Ryan and Kellie have moved to Spokane and I've missed my opportunity with them. Hopefully I can be a better Aunt Susie to Jon and Mindy.
