WENDOVER

Last weekend Bryan and Ana Maria came and stayed with Mom and Dad while we went on a little vacation : ) we decided to go to Wendover for a couple of days, we had a good time! Tamara and Danielle and hubbies and Cassidy came and spent time with their Mom and Dad and also with their grandparents : )
Thank you for helping so much... Love you!!

Wendover Air Field

In 1943 - 1945 Wendover Air Field was used as a B-29 Bomber Training Area. The Enola Gay Bomber left from this air field to bomb Japan. It is now run down but there's an effort to restore it.

This is the actual control tower, Ed climbed up to take some pictures.

Thousands of men lived here then. It is now the Wendover Airport.

The Con-Air Airplane

This was the plane used on the movie Con-Air.

...to the Salt Flats.

Leaving the Air Field getting ready to go see the Salt Flats and come home.

We weren't sure where this place was so we had the Hotel shuttle take us.

The blue sky and the clouds had a show of their own going on... so pretty. My niece Danielle had gone to the salt flats and took some great pictures of the Sunrise, that made me want to go see this place even more. Thanks Danielle : )

We really would like to go when they are racing... Sept. sometime. Sounds really fun!!

Here's a link about the Salt Flats. http://www.Utah.com/playgrounds/bonneville_salt.htm

Dad's Salt Flats Rest Area Design.

This is one of Ed's Dad's designs... from a long time ago. It's fun to drive around and see some of his work. We are grateful for Rest Areas : )

Osmond Encounter

Merrill and Virl Osmond and Merrill's daughter Heather were at a store in Draper a little while ago, Ed talked to them for a little while, he took his guitar "my favorite one" the one he made, and they signed it.

Hospice

Mom has been in bed for about a month or more now, only getting up to use her bathroom that is just a few feet away. We got the ok from her Lung Specialist, Dr Zenger to have the help from Hospice, that as you know is a program that cares for those that are struggling with terminal illnesses as she is.
She has Pulmonary Fibrosis, and has also struggle with some other illnesses along the way, that together with drugs that have been neccesary to help her at times are also to blame for some other symtoms and things she's had to deal with now.
We have had Hospice helping us for about a month now, give or take and it has been a good experience. She has a nurse, "Sarah" that comes once a week to check on her and help with anything she might need. Also an aid, "Amanda" that comes 3 times a week to bath her, change her bed and anything else she might need, she's from Colombia and is so nice that they can speak spanish. They also have Music Therapy, Heidi comes every once in a while and plays the Harp for them, Dad loves music so it's a treat for him too, not to mention Heidi served a LDS Mission in Chile and they can speak "Castellano" and talk about things they have in common.
Mom, Dad and my sister Ana Maria also met with Lynn the Director and that was a good experience as well, where we could ask questions and talk about concerns we could have. I also met with Stephanie, she's the social worker and also came to let us know of things they could do to make things better and offer her/their help with anything mom might need. They have all been wonderful and we are grateful for their help.
