March & April 2009

the Month of March ended with a trip to the Mountain Man rendezvous up by Payson. Joey had invited me up an;d since the word "man" was In the title I decided to make the trip. Now I had never been to a get to gather before and when got up there it was boys, boys and more boys or I guess they would like to be called young men. Here and there were a few older men but they all looked so strange because they were mountain men and had Long hair cared tomahawks and black power guns. It looked like a dangers place to be. Really it was a great time and I'm glad I got to go and spend those few days in the mountain with Joey and Vanessa. Little did we know at that time that our wonderful Joey was sick with cancer..He is loved by so many and I guess Heavenly Father needs Trader Joe to help him on the other side.

Then in April the Ashcroft reunion was held and there was about 120 of us there. It was really nice just needed more time to renew are love for one another. After the reunion Shannon, David ,Pam and I were going to Paris but because of the spring break we could not all go together on stand by we were forced to go to Maui its the first time for me to go to Hawaii we had a wonderful time and stayed right on the beach. As we got off the plane I told the pilot that it was the bumpiest ride I had ever been on and he said" That's OK honey we don't charge extra for that.
