Latest News

We had a nice ride up Springville and Payson Canyon. We drove the Nebo Loop. The leaves are changing and it was a very pretty ride.

Other news is that Randy is having total hip replacement in January. His hips have hurt for years. I hope the surgery will help him and free him from pain.

We have been doing a lot of Fall cleaning. We cleaned the little shed and found out that Alex had even more collectibles in there than upstairs. They were still in the sacks that he had when he bought them. We threw a lot of old stuff out but we are going through the collectibles. We cleaned out a lot of stuff in the upstairs room but we still have a lot of things there that we have to store. Alex's things are still on the shelves and I guess I will leave them there for now but I really need to dust the shelves. In going through a lot of the things, I found the Old Carrillo Chronicles (the newsletters we used to send out) It was very interesting to read through them. They are here if anyone wants to come and read them and reminisce about the past. Some of the grandkids weren't even born when those newsletters were created.

I also found a TO DO List that Alex had made out in 2003 where he had a list of errands and chores he needed to do and some were crossed off as he did them. That was just a little sad for me.  When cleaning out the shed and seeing his work that he did when he built made me realize even more how much talent he had.

As for me, I have had a lot of mood swings and I am seeing the DR again to see if he can give me any help. I hope all of you are doing fine. I can't believe it will be Christmas in no time at all. The older I get, the faster time passes. I hope to enjoy life more because I know all our time is short upon this earth.
