It was wonderful being with Mom and the mission homecoming of Kevin and farewell for John and Sharron. What a great weekend that was. I’m very proud to be a Lindgren.

Bryan enjoyed his byu-efy week at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City special edition.  Thanks to Dorothy for keeping Mom’s family of dolls updated to the 81st great-grand child.  Thanks to John Lindgren and John and Emily Anderson for their help when my car over-heated.  Thanks to Yorgasons for charging my phone.  Thanks to Jennifer for calling me from Juneau, AK while on a cruise and making me wish I was with her.  Thanks to Steve, Rick and Reba being with her – somebody had to do it.  Thanks to Ammon and Angela for connecting with James on his way to process fish for Peter Pan in Dillingham, AK.  Thanks to Jim for being with Hyrum at a recognition event for his scholarship from the Johnson Foundation.   Thanks to Emily for feeding my kids.  Thanks to Dorothy and Alan for hosting a party where we could all visit.  Same to John and Sharron, it was great seeing cousins and people that meant so much in our growing up years.  Thanks for being family and loving me and mine.  I love you all. ~Priscilla

p.s.  Just a bit about the kids at home.  Krista called while I was in Utah to tell me she is now a horse owner.  She enjoys riding with Ryan Slone and his family.

ASU scholarship award recognition for Hyrum

graduation, May 24

Isaiah has finished 6th grade and I have caught up his picture album!  He is very looking forward to junior high.  I will be joining him there as a Resource Aid.   He enjoyed his two week trip in Alaska with Jim, Hyrum, and Bryan.  They were in Fairbanks attempting to sell 10 acres (it is still available) and visited Grandparents/family in Anchorage.  He was also at scout camp for a week at Hawley Lake on the Apache Reservation where campfires were actually allowed.   He is now working on swimming and lifesaving merit badges.

Bryan has a job lifeguarding at the city pool this summer as well as teaching swim lessons.  He is also learning to use light and sound systems for the high school auditorium as well as the city park (for Thursday night’s Music in the Park).   He is looking forward to soccer camp at Dixie College in St. George, playing soccer, being Junior Class Secretary, and being in Madrigals.

Hyrum is working at McDonalds and is very excited about being a Sun Devil (ASU student) at Barrett’s Honor College starting in August.  He was awarded the Johnson Foundation Scholarship as well as ASU’s Presidential Scholarship.  He is joining Navy ROTC and is applying for their scholarship as well.

Next school year Jim will be teaching junior high social studies in Tuba City which is on the opposite side of the Navajo Nation as Window Rock where he just finished his first year of teaching school.

Some people I greeted and visited with last weekend included: cousins Bob, Diane, and BettyLu and their families, Tomlinsons, John Lindgrens, Marty Lindgrens, Andersons, Yorgasons, Karl Thomas, Kim Watts, Stan Wells, Rose Ostler (Steve was there), Barbara Briggs, Bishop Scharmann, McGuires, Eriksons, Spencers, Terry Johnson, Sis.
