Before and after San Diego I spent time with Grandma, who is a really good sport, but having a tough time with a body that is getting worn out. She has a lady that comes in the morning to help her get up, showered, and dressed and gets her breakfast, does laundry, gives foot rubs, whatever else needs doing, and leaves after lunch. Kerry, a goodly neighbor, is literally "on call" for the rest of the day, with Grandma giving her a call when she needs to get up, move, get ready for bed, or do anything else. Diane checks in with her after work and makes her dinner. We owe Diane a debt of gratitude, as she is the unpaid overseer of just about everything. We honored Grandma with a Mother's Day dinner that Diane cooked (yummy spare ribs). We all brought our meager gifts to the matriarch, but Grandma got tears in her eyes as she told us that the best gift ever is our righteous lives.
Ditto that to all my kids....
Rex's family was out for the week to visit
and do the theme parks of So. Cal.

Can you tell that Eli is in dance? He is actually a very good ballroom dancer, on the BYU youth team.
With Michael home from his mission in NY, the Hatch's enjoy their entire family together again. Uncle Kent continues to be a miracle as he has had many heart problems this year, along with that persistent ankliosing spondelitis (nasty form of arthritis that bends the spine), but is now equipped with a pacemaker that will give him an electric shock (similar to the paddles) if the the old ticker takes a break.
