Ray's great at coaching Linda on how to do things his hands will no longer allow. We've always liked DIY, but this time we had to look at outside contractors for the heavy work. 50 Years of marriage and 43 years in the same home also found us with some home repairs and upgrades.In 2015 we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren by adventuring for a few days in Steamboat Springs, CO. We've explored red rock & mountain trails in our Land Cruiser. We drove through the Canadian Rockies and on to Prince Rupert, B.C., ferried our truck to Juneau, AK, for a 3-day stay, and then ferried to Skagway and drove home via Whitehorse and Washington State. As we sensed our ability to travel and play may lessen as time moves forward, we celebrated the summer of 2014 by returning to northern sights.The Clarks visit Utah once or twice a year, and we're happy to see them upon each visit. We took a first-ever cruise with Don and Zaza Clark, our dear GA friends, and were able to spend a few days in Georgia reconnecting with people there.Those friends, both young and old, continue to support us and brighten our days. We've enjoyed mission reunions and get-togethers with our GA senior missionary couples.A dear friend from our temple ordinance worker family has also been diagnosed with Parkinson's, deepening our bond with a wonderful couple. Extended family and ward family members face challenges and happiness, always teaching us. Our family continues to be blessed with good health and success in their endeavors.We celebrated in their Spanish ward there, of course! We were privileged to travel there just two weeks ago to attend his wedding to Maria. He was and continues to be a great example and support to us. Elder Leonard Tarver from our GA mission family lived with us for six-months after we returned home.It's been a great blessing in service, friendship, and personal health. We were privileged to serve for 20 months (and still substitute once in a while). We stocked shelves it was great and sometimes demanding exercise. Linda convinced Ray to join her for one-half of her weekly 8-hour service missionary shift at the Bishop's Storehouse in Kaysville.We see the Lord's love as evidenced by his protraction of the onset and progression of the disease until our mission in Georgia was complete. In fact, he had his first fall just days after arriving home. The symptoms progressed rapidly upon our return home. In December 2013, our suspicions were confirmed when Ray was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.Since I have I the pages of this blog open, it make sense to add a few updates that help explain our desire and need to continue pressing forward. How wonderful the youth of the Church are using this wonderful scripture as their Mutual theme for 2016. And I realize that we still need to, and do, continue to press forward. The tender feelings of love and gratitude for our Georgia mission continue. As we watched General Conference today, a question brought me back to this blog to find a name.
