Oldroyd Family Life and Times of an Oldroyd

I love to see the temple. I had a nice time worshiping there today. It is simple and beautiful.

We took the kids to the cemetery and we were able to paint the cement vault. I think a number of people thought it was weird, but it was good for me. Abbi’s message certainly sums up all of our feelings. We do miss Mom and love her dearly.

Summer morning at Mom’s house. The light is so beautiful. It brings peace to my soul.

Today at 2:35 PM my Mom passed away. She was such a beacon of help and inspiration to all of us.
She was everything a woman could be.

The pain is immense. We love her and miss her.

She is described in Proverbs 31:10-31. “..Her children arise up, and call her blessed…” She is truly blessed and a virtuous woman.

My mom is dying. I will miss her.

The wood and metal babee-tenda circa 1970. It certainly wouldn’t make it past legal these days. How did we ever grow up without losing fingers, hands, eyes, etc.?

Parker and I went on a bike ride to go help a new family move in and on the way home Parker was show-boating a bit on his bike. He twisted the handlebars and went down hard. It was originally a 6-bandaid event, but when one above his eye didn’t want to stop bleeding Kris took him to the instacare and we ended up with bandaids AND superglue. Parker is a tough kid but still this had to hurt a bit.

Later in the day we went to Mom’s and helped her clean out some things from the basement and then did a little slip-n-slide action. The kids had a good time. I’m glad to be able to help Mom and Dad out a bit.

Owner of this bug looks to be over 80. He and his wife are cute.
Happy Independence Day!
