Dad at the American Fork Hilton

Jennie suggested that I let everyone know how Dad is doing. We've been pretty busy since I picked him up Friday afternoon. We enjoyed Thanksgiving leftovers at the Adams and then settled in here. He is sleeping in Marci's twin waterbed (or is it Susanna's or Olivia's?) in the bedroom upstairs and seems to like it okay. Yesterday we worked ourselves silly watching the BYU/Utah game and went to visit Mom in the late afternoon. We then picked up Merlin at the airport (he had helped Kevin move his stuff to southern California Friday to Saturday). Today we went to church (I know he was relieved to not have to answer a lot of questions like he would have had to in his ward--Jennie and Kent were left with that job.) and had dinner with the Burrows. Tomorrow we will visit Mom again and probably go to dinner with our friends Larry and JoAnn Tolman. So you can see that Dad is getting plenty of good food and enjoying excellent company. He has only had time for one real nap, and thank goodness that came before the game yesterday. I think we're keeping him up too late, but he does seem to be somewhat of a night owl. I'm trying to make sure he gets all his meds, and I only have one pill left today; tomorrow he'll get them all! Right now Merlin is reading him the articles in the paper about the game, and he's pretty conversant about what went on. I think he's doing well and is content here.
