Sad News :-(

21 October 2012 - Sunday

Sister Bews learned this past week that the wife of her oldest brother is in the hospital.  She had cancer and was sent to the hospital for treatment, but had a couple strokes while there.  It put her in a coma and she is not responding, although she is breathing on her own.  They will have to make a decision about what happens next tomorrow.

Sister Bews has to fly out next Thursday.  Her sister-in-law died last Tuesday and the funeral is Saturday in Edmonton, Alberta.

1 November 2012 - Thursday

We were up by 5am and on the road by 6am so Sister Bews could catch her flight.  She went to Edmonton, Alberta for her sister-in-law's funeral.  I spent the last half of the day at the ERC.  I was very tired come the end of the day; I was in bed by 8:30pm.

5 November 2012 - Monday

I spent half a day in the center.  I had some personal business to take care of before I headed off to Salt Lake to pick up my companion at the airport.  Her flight arrived at 4pm, just when people were heading home from work.  We went to dinner in Salt Lake in hopes of avoiding some of the traffic.  We ate at the Garden Restaurant at the top of the Joseph Smith building.  I've eaten there a couple times before, but didn't remember it costing so much.  It finally dawned on me that I had always eaten lunch there which is less expensive.  The meal was good and worth the price.  We still encountered some traffic on the way home, but nothing like the Bay Area.
