Town Hall Meeting With Rep.Peter DeFazio

After the rude comments made by DeFazio in yesterdays Register Guard,

((""We are Oregonians, not those people on Fox News" referring to bad behavior of the ANGRY MOBS. . AKA, Americans!!!!!! You and me, we are the crazy, angry folks according to the media and DeFazio. . .I think NOT!!""))

we were a bit offended, and deceided to let others know where WE stood on that issue . .

so FOX NEWS ROCKS was Sue's idea. . and we ran with it.

We had a number of thumbs up, a lot of people stop and tell us they agreed. .

what a door opener to converation.

Even later at dinner, we had folks come up and tell us they were in the same ball park as us!!

With just an offhand head count, I summed up 600+ in this crowd.


Most of the crowd was well behaved, but a few felt a need to shout and make
dumb remarks. .


Those against the wall with the signs, I think were the plants for the bill, with
their premade signs. . the ones that can get paid to attend and rally for the administration.

Sue, Pinky and Steve

Steve and me. . . FOX NEWS ROCKS!!!

That DeFazio there in the front. . .he was on about a few things, but I can't understand why he would vote against Cap and trade, and vote against the stimulis bill BUT not vote against this bill, that will surely

cost us $$$ and good quality health care.

A Town Hall Meeting! !

This was in the Register Guard today. . we're going to the meeting in North Bend tomorrow,

I'll post pics then.

The End Of One Adventure

Our Primary Presidency was released today. . April, Rebecca and myself. The Mitchells are moving to Utah, so April needed to be replaced. . that meant we had to be replaced too.

Its always kinda sad to see an old presidency go. . friendships and working conditions become so the norm and comfortable, that when things get shook up, it can be emotional. Rebecca was teary, Sister Wherity was too, (altho she is staying and she gets that way every week!! )..we told the children that this was our last Sunday, and Preston Mitchell came up after, and told us how great we had been to have in Primary! What a nice young man!

Sister Christina Barkley is the new Primary Pres. and she has asked Sister Johnson to be her 2nd Councilor( they are new in the ward. . seems like a nice lady) Her 1st Councilor has been requested, but no answers yet. . .

I am still in the Stake Primary. . so Sundays will be less busy, but at least I'm connected

by this calling! It's been a lot of fun serving with these ladies. . what great examples they have been to me! Thanks girls!! SOOO, onward it is.

A Summer Wedding

Bonnie asked Steven and I if we would cook and help orchestrate the food at

Shea's wedding today. We said sure, and snagged Mark Larsen to help with the bbqing.

We put on table clothes, and center pieces, plated food and dished up salads,

help with the wedding "cake", did a little clean up and worked the crowds

during the food time. it was a success I think, and Bonnie seemed

pleased with everything.

Getting the bbq going. .
