Sorry I have been gone so long!

Wwell, the 2011 legislature is roaring again and the PTA has been following many bills that pertain to the safety and welfare of children. We are very concerned that they adopt the governor's budget this year. We know we are fortunate to live in UTah where our constitution demands that we have to balance the budget on the last day of the leg. So you just have to know how hard they are all working down at the capitol.
One of the best things for me is that Shirley, my sister, is a page in the senate. SO whenever I go down I get to sit on the floor and she can talk quickly once in awhile. All of the other pages are so good to me also.
I find politics exhilerating and intriquing, I don't like dirty politics though. It is so interesting to see the different ways you can go about trying to get something done. I really admire those who go into public service without a personal agenda, they sacrifice so much.
I am also getting about 16 students ready for the Heber V alley Piano Festival. It has been difficult this year as our chief benefactor, Bob Donahue, moved and all of his influence has been dropped in getting money to run our program. I think we are going to be able to do it though. Adalee is working hard I know to learn all of her five pieces.
Adam and Adalee have been here the last two nights and it was so nice to have them here.
Better go be productive.
