Not much going on of any excitement, so this is just so I can see a new entry. And avoid my ever-growing to-do list.
Ward conferences have started. As a Stake leader I get to go to every one of them, although this year I don't have to speak. Yay for that! But, it does mean two on the same day sometimes...six hours of meetin's. It's amazing how tired you can get sitting for six hours. I do enjoy visiting the other wards though.
I had a birthday. It was fun, as long as I didn't think about the digits it represented. I'm now officially on the downhill side of my life. I hope I do a better job on this half. (or whatever I have left).
Mom Bailey is having surgery today to hopefully remove the cancer they discovered a couple of weeks ago. They think it's contained and hope to remove it all and not have to do chemo or radiation. She told us last time that we were there that she's fine, not concerned about dying and we should not worry about her. We had to explain to her that we could tell she was OK with it, we're not sure that any of her progeny are ready for her to go. Sam keeps telling her that he expects her to take care of him in his old age. We're going to Bakersfield this evening to see her and help out Mary, who is there taking care of her.
Meg and I are elbow deep in a project about King Tut. We're building a replica of his tomb. I'll post pics if/when we get it done. We were supposed to start working on it over Christmas break, but I put my foot down and said it was supposed to be a break, not homework time. So, now we're in a crunch. I guess I shouldn't have been so stubborn.
On MLK day, we went to San Francisco to attempt (again) to go to the SF Academy of Sciences museum. I've NEVER seen Golden Gate park that crowded...bumper to bumper traffic, no where to park. Ugh! We gave up and went to HaightAshbury and had great Thai food whilst we watched the odd/strange/weird people go by. We'll try the museum on some random day of the week sometime.
OK, I'm gonna go down and beg for a haircut. (I forgot to make an appointment with the only stylist within 40 miles who speaks English.)

I will send my prayers for grandma Bailey. I am sure she will be fine. she is so strong. I just recently finished her biography. She is very strong.
Cool you are gonna be here. I just texted Mary when gram was in surgery. Maybe we can catch you sometime while down here. I think gram is gonna be fine. She's tough.
Thank you for the updates. Please keep us posted on Grandma's status, ok?
Thanks for helping us stay updated on Grandma's status via here and your facebook account. Means a lot.
Happy birthday! I hope you had a fun day. I'm gonna go to Bako next weekend, you'll probably be gone by then. Two ships passing in the night. There's a TUT exhibit at the Luxor that's pretty interesting. Are you still planning on come here in FEB? I have the perfect place to take you to, for photo ops and more.
I think for your birthday present I might let you have us for a visit during spring break. We're out of jam.
Happy Belated B-Day! Hope you guys made it Bakersfield to find Grandma doing well. Give us an update when you get home.
AMY! Come visit. I'll even make a FRESH batch of jam! :0)
