The house is all sheetrocked and the tapers will start today.  Rog says it will take about 4 days.  Dean Judkins is working on the brick, and he will do the chimney first.  We need to get primer and paint so we can start this next weekend.  We are moving along really fast.  We'll have plenty of time to get done and in before Mom comes home from California in August.  Amanda has only 1 week left in school.  She has really enjoyed this year.  The kids will be glad next week when they don't have to get up early and go to a babysitter.  So will I.  Amanda is going to California on the 13th of June with Erika, and will come home on the 23rd on an airplane.  Arlene Christensen's dad died yesterday, so I'll have to handle month end reports and balancing by myself mainly.  I will go on and keep trying.  I have so much to thank the Lord for.

 Wow, 2 days in a row.  Hope I can keep this up.  Dean Judkins got the chimney all cinder blocked and the sheetrock tapers started taping last night.  They will finish Saturday morning.  So I guess the painting will wait for next Monday.  I will go get paint this Saturday.  I'm going with the girls at work down to Arlene's dad's viewing tonight.  We are eating out Chinese at work today also. I read in the Book of Mormon yesterday, and I will again today.  It is a great book, full of wisdom and knowledge.  I want to become closer to the Lord and this is the way.

 Today was great.   I am always going to go on and never give in, and never give up.  I'm glad I'm close to the Lord, my Father in Heaven, who knows me.  Our birth is but a sleep and forgetting.  I want to do what is right so I can be happy forever.  I want to gain the Celestial Kingdom, where glories beyond our comprehension await.  I am filled with humility and thankfulness.  I am so thankful. I pray I can be worthy and can be trusted by the Lord.

Well, we've started painting the house.  What a job!  Hope to get it all primed this weekend, then it needs 2 coats of paint!  Got the paint last Saturday.  It cost $231.00.  Got porcelain color (off white) I'm doing my kitchen in peach, so I'm going to have them tint the paint for it a little. (I ended up doing the whole house in porcelain) (Susan, Layne's wife came up and spent one whole day helping us paint.  She really helped out allot.  We really appreciated it) Joni and I have been walking.  She called and said no go this morning, but I'm gonna go anyway.  Amanda is leaving for California this morning with Erika.  She was sure excited.  Hope everything goes alright.( you know looking back on this, I can't believe that I let my little 6 year old girl, go with my 23 year old sister, by themselves, in a car, traveling alone all the way to California.  There is NO WAY I would let that happen now.  I guess I'm getting cautious and scared in my old age (35))  I'm getting a cold.  Boy, I'm tired.  Went to bed at 12:00 a.m. and it's now 5:30 a.m.  5 1/2 hours just doesn't cut it for me.  I am happy.   I can now go to Heavenly Father with all my problems and questions.  I'm paying a full tithe, and reading the scriptures.  I want to do what is right.  I want to be a great mom and wife.  I won't give up.

June 14, 1986 (Letter written from Mandy to Roger, as she and Erika were traveling to California to visit Lee and Veloy Dickson)
Dad, I love you.  Do you love me?  Please let me know.  Love, Mandy

Hello Rich Gang, just a note to say we made it to Alaska.  It's cold!  Our plane has about 500 people on it.  It's a long trip.  Love, The Frosts

*Linda and Bruce and family moved to Okinawa for 1-2 years for Bruce's work at HAFB.
