There really are a few good people out there...

On Monday after Andrew and Holly left, we had to quickly get back up to Salt Lake. We picked up my Grandfather and took him to my Grandmothers grave site. What started as a rainy day turned out to be a really nice beautiful day. We saw the headstone that was reacently placed and it looks great. While we were there we heard a bag piper playing at another grave site. His music was gorgeous and really hit home for us. When my Grandmother passed away my Grandfather really wanted to get a bag piper to play at her funeral. For various reasons this didn't happen.

When the bag piper was done my grandfather went over and asked if he could hire the gentlemen to play for his wife. The gentlemen with his wife simply said he would be honored to play only if he wasn't payed. Again he donned his instrument and we listened to possibly the most moving rendition of Amazing Grace. I know that on that beautiful day my Grandmother was there finally getting the music she wanted.

We don't know the mans name but his simple act will be an important memory for years to come. Who ever the man was if he ever comes across this, I want to thank you. You touched an elderly man who greatly misses his wife and gave him a great day in which he wanted to honor her memory. Thank you, your example shows there are wonderful decent people still left in the world.

Let's get together...

Memorial day weekend, has come and gone now. What a weekend. Originally Lindsay and I were going to take my Grandfather to Windover NV. This trip was going to coincide with two very anniversaries. First my Grand Parents got married on the 16th of May, 60 years ago. Second this past week also marked the 10th anniversary for when Lindsay and I got married. The plan to travel to Windover was scrapped early in the week as we received news that Andrew my youngest brother and his wife Holly were coming into town. This was a very important occasion, this marked the first time that since the three Wyatt boys have been married that we have all been able to get together with our spouses.


I really think that all of us could have certainly spent more time together. We spent a great amount of time with each other laughing sharing stories. We taught Andrew and Holly how to play, what is quickly becoming the official game of the Wyatt's, the card game Scum. If you haven't played you should it's great fun being able to call family members scum. We also managed to squeeze in a very fun game of Risk. Dylan, my older brother Lee's son, joined in as the guys all went head to head. Dylan's demise marked Andrews victory. I've nver seen some laugh so much as his armies were being wiped out. He's quite the player and will only be harder to play against as he gets older.

We also contributed to Indiana Jones: and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls' record weekend. We were divided on our reviews but still enjoyed the time together. I know by Monday when it came time for Andrew and Holly to return home, we were all wondering when we would be able to get together again.
