Happy Picture of the Week
Adam here. Rachel is the blog mastermind and so we spruced it up a little last night, I hope you all like it. We will continue to add more information along the way. I thought it would be fun to add a happy picture of the week. Something light and funny since you all know my dad is anything but boring and loves to tease. What a handsome couple. Maybe I can convince Rachel that facial hair is attractive, it certainly won my mom over.

Nice picture looks like the grandson knows who to cheer for. Rick I have been thinking about the times at Ricks College. The year we went to Ricks, I thought I had moved to Siberia. It was cold and snowed it seems like 2 feet. I remember one day the snow was extra deep, 10 of us( rick I think you we one) climbed out on the balconey of the second floor at rigby hall. It was illegal to climb out there and if you were caught it was a fifty dollar fine. A hugh fine those days for some broke college students. Anyway we climbed out on the ledge and someone gave the signal we all did a back flip at the same time into the snow bank below. I think someone took pictures. Maybe the evidence had to be destroyed. Do you also remember the old studebaker? We had many ski trips in the old studebaker. It was a small car with a mighty V-8. We didn't care about gas prices back then. We just needed power! We went to the twin falls temple yesterday and put your name on the prayer roll. We are praying for you and your family. Burke
I know I'm a stranger to your family, but I am just overcome with tears as I came to this blog. Tears of joy and also of sadness. I'm also so incredibly impressed by the faith expressed here--faith that allows even such sad news, although painful, to also be sweet. My heart goes out to your entire family.
I love the "spruced up" blog! It looks fabulous! I am so happy to hear that Rick is up and walking around and is able to eat. Yipee!! Our constant thoughts and prayers are with you! We loved the bright balloons this morning celebrating Alex's 16th Birthday! Happy Birthday Alex! Another Loser boy driving through the neighborhood ~ Oh boy! (Just kidding, I'm so excited for you Alex)
Rick ~Hope you can make it home soon. I'm looking forward to seeing you walking the neighborhood again!
Michelle~ I hope you are taking good care of yourself! I can't get my mind off of you! I'm looking forward to talking when you feel like it!
Lots of Love,
Sandy Folkman
I'd just like to give a brief introduction of Clean Cut. He is a friend of mine and I consider him one of my favorite missionary companions. Thanks, Clean Cut, for your visit and kind words.
In talking to Rick at the hospital this morning, and then writing to Steve Hoskin this afternoon, I am so amazed at how many people surrounding Rick are feeling promptings from the Spirit. Steve also wrote in his email to me that he is praying for a miracle. As I look around I can see that the miracles are already happening.

We are so happy that you are eating!
Bean had music therapy today and while they were singing a song about FISH, you [Rick] totally came to mind.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!
Sending our love,
Heather, Cale and Bean Brown
Losers,
Just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and praying that your burdens may be light.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love and concern,
Tracy & Jill
Rick, we hope you’re beginning to feel some better after this last go round with the docs. Doesn’t sound like any fun for sure. However as I remember it from my first days of tracting with you out in the bitter cold of January 1977 in Kentucky you had a fair bit of doggedness and determination like very few I have known before or since. That same determination has served you well and that experience taught me a valuable lesson, and that was, if I was going to keep up with you I needed a warmer coat.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Michelle and your great family. Talk with you soon. Thayne & Denise
Just checking in - Glad to hear you are "eating" again! Thanks Adam and Rachel for updating so often, it's nice to hear how things are going! Jammie
It's 12:45 in the morning and I'm having a hard time sleeping. I enjoyed our visit. Thanks for indulging me visiting with you earlier today. Something you said has really resonated with me and has kept me pondering. I hope to discuss it further. I'll be sure to bring a guitar this time. lol.
I have also gone through some journal entries from your years as Bishop. That was turning point in my life and I thank you for being there to keep me in line.
Anyway, I hope things are more comfortable now for you at home. I assume you're home. We will talk soon, my friend.
