Happy New Year's

Happy New Year's! everyone I'm having a sleep over with my grandson's Kaleb, and Von, Karl, and Carrie's, children. Mike, and Elise, and Tanner, went over to Santaquin to their friends Tim, and Amy's, house to spend the night. They will be back tomorrow. I took Kaleb, and Von, to see the movie Bolt it's about a dog and it was a very good show for little children. I wouldn't mind getting it when it comes out on DVD. I talked to Donna, tonight and she said I need to go see another movie name Bed Time Stories, she said that she went and seen it and it was a very good one, so I will have to go see it. I miss Merrill, very much, my heart is so full of pain right now that I can't explain, I had a blessing on the Sunday before Christmas from my Home Teacher. My friend Jay Steineckert, said the New Year, should be better for me. I hope it will. Hey everyone, write to me some time. I here from Dennis, and Elna, but not much of you other guys. I enjoy calling talking to Marion, I felt lonely the other day and thought if I could talk with her it would be like talking to Merrill, because she is his twin. I talk to John, once in a while. I would like all of you to send me something about Merrill. that sticks out in our minds so I can write it in his book I am going to start soon. I found some papers he wrote on they don't say very much but it will be a start. Bill, and Myrna, has sent me some thing his talk from Merrill's, funeral. Elna, told me about the day when Merrill, and Marion, was born that she got to go in to see them and it was pretty neat one baby on each side but she couldn't touch them just look. John, said he has some things written down but he has not sent it yet. I guess I will go for now and write later I love you all.
Love Iris

Christmas

Christmas was a great day it was a exciting one someone left two hundred dollars in a envelope for me on my door step. and then the Parry's, left 50 dollars at my door step for me. I cried thanking Heavenly Father for the people who care for me. I even got a gift card from Walmart from my Guardian Angels. Mike and Elise, gave me a lamp, and Carrie, gave me new PJ'S that what Merrill would get me for Christmas. Brian and Cindy, gave a beautiful crochet table cloth. And Karl and Carrie, gave me a box of coconut chocolates and a book from Hilary Weeks (Believe In what you're doing Believe in who you are) Neil and Meghan, gave me a candle and a gift card from Walmart. Lica and Michael, gave me a flag with a picture of a cat on it. And Santa Claus, kept coming all the week before Christmas and it was fun to see what he would bring. Then a Secret Friend, came all also. I wish a everyone a Happy New Year. I even got a beautiful green throw to put over me when I'm cold it kind of looks like a sweater, I love it. Joy, sent a email and ask me to join her facebook so I did some of my nieces have join the facebook too, Carrie and Bill join facebook too. Its kind of neat if any one of you would like to join it you may. Anna and Venene, to visit me before they went home, we had a nice visit. Well I love you all Iris
