To Brown or not to Brown

The latest thing I'm working on is a spray tanning machine. Julie and I think it would be a great addition for these old bodies. If we just use it ourselves we could have it paid for in 3 months or less as spray tanning here is $25.00 a time. Plus we might offer it to others for $10.00 a time and pay ourselves back. In case you all think I am getting to worldly. I am still visiting the sick, attending the temple, and trying hard to do what is right. I just want to look good doing it. I think it is a cheap fountain of youth. Anyway let me know what you think.

Where I have Been

A lot has happened since my last blog. I just want to catch everyone up on my life as well as remind myself of what I have been doing.
We sold the store. It's amazing. We sold our business to an employee who has worked for us for at least eight years. She loves to scrapbook and has four daughters who do it with her. How perfect. She knows all about the store and has extra skills to make this business work. We are grateful to have a business we spent 11 years of our life with go to someone who can only improve upon it.
Shortly after the sale of our store Howard's mother passed away. Though we will miss her, we are relieved that she is no longer suffering. We had a wonderful celebration of her life. All of our children and grandchildren were together for a week. It was great to interact together and with all of the aunts, uncles and cousins who were home for grandma's funeral. We had a chance to plan future get togethers and young little cousins could get acquainted.
Two weeks later Howard and I found ourselves in New York City with Josh, Sarah, Olivia and Brody. What an incredible week. We really loved this City and especially because we had a fantastic tour guide in Sarah. We can see why she really wanted us to come and share this week with her. It was a fantastic experience. We learned so much, visited many wonderful sites and enjoyed seeing it all with Josh, Sarah, Livie and Brody.
So the long and short of it is that even though I am not working, I have been so busy I haven't noticed much free time.
As soon as I get copies of pictures from Sarah, I will post further blogs with more information about our wonderful trip to New York.
