Hello & greetings fabulous family members,


1) It snowed last week! 
2) Not totally unexpected. 
3) I’ve experienced valley snow in Utah during 9 different months. 
4) But we don’t appreciate the cold 🥶…
5) …although we are grateful for the mountain moisture. 
6) And this Daybreak sculptural art piece is pretty awesome. 
7) I used the weather as an excuse to hybernate a little longer —
8) yet I ventured into the chilly weather to meet up with friends from my past. 
9) 2 of these remarkable women left an indelible impression on me since I met them in 1983 (Orem)!
10) and the 3rd one has been an incredible friend since 1997 (Orlando). 

“Treasure your friends and be a treasured friend!” I just made that up!😍

Do you have a friend that you can pick up with after being apart for 25-35 years??? Of course not. You haven’t lived this long🥴. 

Dates this week:
17th ~ EASTER!!!
18th ~ having experienced a rare failure flying standby to Cincinnati we drive 23.5 hrs straight and arrive the 19th (in 10 minutes from sending this email🤪). We’ll be in Cincinnati for nearly a week. 
22nd ~ Dillon’s 16th anniversary of his arrival on 🌎.  Thinking of YOU dear g’son!

Have a great week!!!

We love you forever!!! Honestly & truly. You have made an indelible impression on us, never to be erased or forgotten.

Dear treasured family,

We’ve been back in Utah nearly 2 weeks and are getting caught up with friends, family, doctors, familiar food, etc.

1)  May I introduce you to beautiful Ruth? We were neighbors in Eagle Gate, 2011.
2) She reached out to me in October 2021.
3) We reconnected last week. We each said the other hadn’t changed one bit.  She lied.
4) Her husband (and our friend), Ted, passed quickly in December.
5) We had so much to talk about.
6) Lane and I also had lunch with 5 of his siblings…
7)  …and dinner at the invitation of Greg, Jennifer, Samie & Ben.
8) We also had our first Cafe Rio in many months!
9) A temple date and Jazz game were the idea of Linc, Carrie, Steph, Jerel, Carlie & Jon.
10) Then yesterday a brunch and yard work at my Mom & David’s.

Family and friends are where it’s at!!!
“Friend’s are God’s way of taking care of us.”

Important dates:
April 9th ~ Anissa and Abriam got engaged
April 13th ~ Alta celebrates turning 11

April 3, 2022

Good news everyone!  This weekend we explored the early pioneer settlement of Spring City; built in 1852, burned, rebuilt, abandoned, resettled, prospered until 1890, and stagnant for the next 130 years. But the locals love it small and uninterrupted. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.  A gem and worth a looksie 👀!


1) Stephanie had a brilliant idea…
2) for Carrie to invite us to join them
3) for conference weekend 
4) at a ‘Pulsipher’ family homestead
(built 4 yrs ago to look old).
5) So she did!
6) There were 13 of us. 
7) Food was plentiful.
8) Games & puzzles were in abundance.
9) Bracelets formed for Ukrainian refugees and friends. 
10) Conference messages carried peace and strengthened faith in Christ.  (The 2 hour break between sessions is the fastest 2 hours of the year!!!)

Outstanding memories remain.  Besides, it’s Spring people.  Get out and enjoy life!  How was your weekend?! 

Important calendar items:
April 3rd ~ Kaelyn hits double digits TODAY!
April 7th ~ Jami & Chris have been married 8 years❤️

We love you forever!
