Note 1 September 8, 2008
Getting ready. Depart in 10 daze for Salt Lake City. Visit Binns family the 18th and 19th, the the Newmans on 20th and 21st. Binns get us at the airport and Newmans drop us at the MTC, Monday the 22nd late morning.
Still have to do last minute things like bank, practice pack. and a few shots. To this point I can report that we could not have asked for things to have worked out better.
Sat last (6th) we went to an open house hosted by the Fullers (old friends/neighbors/members Anderson Mill Ward). It was fun to see old friends. One couple, Dave and Diane Morris came from San Antonio, and another, Lane and Stacy Gurel came from Arkansas. We appreciated the good wishes of all that came. This coming Saturday (13th) there is another open house at the Garcia’s (Silverio was 2nd Counselor during my stint in the Chisholm Trail Ward).
We are available for 1/1 exchanges via email go to richard.hoag@gmail.com We also plan to do “G” talk – our son-in-law said this is the better of the choices for internet free telephone. We will get this together soon and do some practice before we depart. We are open for suggestions and coaching tips. One thing we have already tried was facebook, and decided that it was distracting and didn’t fit what we’re going to do over the next 18 months.
