This will be a short post this week. I am sad to report that Nathan’s dad, Max, passed away last night. We are going to miss his zest for life and his forceful personality. He has been in cognitive decline for a couple of years and having him fade away has been really hard on everyone, especially him. This last year has been especially hard on his sweet wife, Margaret, and the rest of the family as it became more difficult to care for him. It is a great relief that he is out of pain and misery.
We will be traveling back to Utah this week and the funeral will most likely be on Monday, September 30. As such, I will probably not be posting on the blog for a while until we are back into a more regular rhythm (whatever that is!).
We love you, Max!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello! We hope you had a wonderful holiday, whether you had a wild a raucous party with lots of friends and family, or you had a quiet day in! We had Linnell family dinner at my niece’s home (Erin) on Thursday. Then we had Mueller family dinner at Nathan’s brother’s place (Warren) on Friday. We ate REALLY well and enjoyed catching up and just being with family. We also went to see the new Wicked movie on Tuesday and comedian Ryan Hamilton at WiseGuys Comedy in Salt Lake on Saturday. It was a full and fabulous week and now we are packing up (again) so we can head east to snuggle some grandkids. Have a great week!
Golden State
We’ve had a great week here in California. We heard some great chamber music, made a trip to the aquarium, took lots of walks, and spent time with some of our favorite people. Tomorrow we move on.
West Coast
We’ve had a great week of traveling down the west coast and soaking in the views. We left Oregon on Tuesday and spent the night in Trinidad, CA. Then it was on to Santa Cruz and we’ve been enjoying some relaxing time with Uncle Ron and Aunt Martha, even with the wetter than normal weather.
Peace and Comfort to you and Nathan and your whole family. What a long magnificent and life he had.❤️
I’m so sorry for this devastating loss. David and I send lots of love to you both. ❤️
Thank you, Emily and Kathy!
