James and Hannah wedding

Bill's son James married Hannah in the American Fork temple today. We had seen them a lot since they have both been going to BYU.




It was fun to have all 6 Low siblings together.

Here's the happy couple leaving the temple.

Hernia

When we came home from Hawaii 2 months ago I blew out a hernia in my right groin trying to wrestle laggage off of the cowded carousel. I had hoped to wait till next winter to get it fixed because we have a lot of plans, but it just bothered me too much so I finally decided to get it fixed. I had Craig Cook, Dick Thomas' son in law, do it. He has a laparoscopic procedure that is supposed to have a much faster recovery time and he has had only 2 recurrences in over 1,000 cases. Well now it has been about 24 hours and I can't believe it! I hardly even know I had anything done. Sylvia had to forbid me from mowing the lawn today. So far so good.

We spent this weekend with our friends Paul and Deon Coon at their Daughter's fabulous winter home at Entrada.

Most of the time was cold and rainy but we had some good golf moments and lots of fun. We watched the BYU playoff game, which we almost won, at the Galland's home. I have known for years that they were very rich (like a 38 million dollar private jet etc) but have never really been acquainted with them. They turned out to be very gracious friendly hosts and their home was wow! A 1500 sq foot theater, 8 waterfalls, 2 pools and the most beautiful decorating. One of the pools is for diving, it is 15 feet deep and has a 30 foot cliff overhanging it. The cliff has no steps, only irregular footholds, and the handrails are molded brass tree branches that look like they grew there.

Well I'm still very grateful for the comfortable home that we have, but it is fun to see how some rich folks live.
