Visitors are always a good thing

We don't always have to do the visiting. Sometimes they come to us and that is always a good thing. It's like a breath of fresh air, a shot in the arm of good cheer, a welcome event.

A few couple dropped by and submitted to some food and games. (Audra rocked) Andersons

Visitors from the 67th ward are always welcome.

So how did the bishop spend his New Years?
We are notoriously boring for the event. Most years we are snoring away when the midnight ball drops. We planned on this year being the same. We went to a movie (Sherlock Holmes, a lot of action for sure) then came home planning on making an early night of it as usual. Our son was up playing games and so to be social we played also. Before we knew it the New Year was upon us. Luckily most people can sleep in, except the old folks like us, whose bodies say it's time to get up before the rest of the world. A well deserved nap was certainly in order.

Yes, that really is a teddy bear, graciously loaned to him by his great niece. We had taken the bishops mother to go see "New Moon" then dashed home because the niece and her two daughters were in town. They loved playing with Uncle Syd and talked him into taking a nap, not a hard task to do. They thought it would easier with their furry friend.

We hope everyone had a Happy and Safe New Years eve and day and that 2010 will bring lots of happiness and success.
