ERIN RICHEY'S WORKPLACE

July 17th we stopped off at Erin's workplace, Alpha Graphics, in Salt Lake City, where Erin is Office Manager. This is her office...and there she is! Erin's sister, Fara is their gifted graphics designer, who operates a separate office adjacent to Erin's. These sisters are great chums and workmates. They both are invaluable to the company.

There's her boss! I hear he's a great guy who really appreciates Erin's leadership.
Clark shows his ol' mom around. I am really impressed with their huge operation!
Clark and Erin make a great team...he, a computer guru, and her, an expert in printing and management. They're both outstanding!
Now we're off to see Glenn Beck. What fun! Dad and I have really enjoyed this double date.

Let's do this again!

I STILL WANT JUST MY HOME

Hi Honey's! This song is what I wrote on Mothers' Day this year. I was so sick, I just stayed home and couldn't see any of you...very disappointing! Here is the first page of my four-page beauty! Below, you'll see the text captured with some of your cute pictures. Enjoy!

I STILL WANT JUST MY HOME

If the skies could offer me a thousand stars,

~1997 Thompson Reunion, visiting Zion's National Park~

If the rivers followed where I roam,

~Brent E. Heninger, 1950, Tap Dance Routine~

If the prairies surrounded me with fertile fields,

~1979 Ricky, Johnny, Brent David, Disneyland trip~

I still want just my home.

~Kaye Starr with Clark on blessing day, January 1976~

If my stage of life is full of rich applause,

~Johnny and Anne, wedding day in Seattle, March 1997~

And my fame has traveled clear to Rome,

~1997 Thompson Reunion at the Grand Canyon, Holly, Kristen Hardman, Ricky~

If the luster of gold is calling out ot me,

~1997 "Train Wreck"~

I still want just my home.

~Kaye Starr, age 19 (1964). Brent, age 21 (1954)~

For it's here, where grow our roots of family,

~1997 Lindy Hull, age 81~

Here, is peace and our security.

~1992, Laura and Preston Carling~

Here, we'll create our own destiny.
~June 2008, Charlotte and Aaron Jensen~

Here, within our home.

~1997 Mom with family~

As a child, I loved to play upon a swing,

~1980, Joseph~

As a mom, I kissed your broken bone.

~1997, Duke, kicking the ice cycles~

Now you've grown, but still I hear my glad heart sing

~1997, Grant's college degree~

When you come to my home.

~1945 extended family picture. Can you find Mom and Dad?

(Hint: I'm sitting on Grandpa's lap.)

GLENN BECK FIRESIDE

Pop, Clark and I leave the Marriot center in Provo, Utah, after enjoying a wonderfully patriotic fireside featuring Glenn Beck, nationally popular radio host and commentator. We're proud that Glenn, a passionate LDS convert, currently gathers thousands of fans across the nation who believe in the original rights as outlined by the founding fathers of the Constitution.

Mom & Son: Kaye Starr Heninger and Clark Richey

We stand by Angie Permann, daughter of my best friend, Cherilyn Permann,who was my roommate at BYU. Cherilyn and Merrill Permann are from Rockland, Idaho, and also work with us in Isagenix. Their daughter, Angie, a very beautiful gal, has recently returned from her mission and now teaches at the MTC.

JOHNNY'S VISIT: DINNER AT MADDOX

Look! There's Johnny! We all were so happy to see him, Anne and Joshie, who are presently living in Germany. We've missed you guys! Clark Jensen, Johnny, Tammy and Brent David enjoy some after-dinner communication.
Holly, Rick and Sheri. As parents, this was fun for us to have you kids attend as my choir performed at Maddox restaurant in Brigham City.
Holly gets the giggles with Charlotte!
Johnny, Anne, Rick, Jen, Joseph, Dad gather over a chicken dinner. It was invaluable to have a chance to visit with Johnny, Anne and Joshie...a rare event!
Clark and Charlotte Jensen enjoyed visiting with siblings during this evening out.
Joseph and Jen really added to the fun.
Darin and Joyce Anderson relax after our extensive program, "Voices from the Dust."
Joyce excels as a profound pianist and accompanist.
Grandmother and Jim enjoyed it all, too. We're so glad they could come.

Mother's Day

I love this time of year. This is a giant tree at SLC Cemetery. Who's that good-lookin' guy? I do love my sweetheart; he means the world to me. We love the same things.
There's that giant tree! Oh, it's so beautiful! It takes our breath away!

Mother's Day found me very sick and 20 pounds overweight.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

This is our humble abode. My goal is to lose 20 pounds and buy a new house. So far I've lost 10 pounds in the past couple weeks. But where's my new house?

Clark comes to visit his ol' mom. Oh, I love that guy; he's so good to me!
My exciting workspace.
My tremendous husband, who loves me with his life. Oh, I do love him, too!
Sheri come to visit me for Mother's Day. Isn't she cute? Oh, she's a tremendous person.
I made Pop take a picture of me on Mother's Day. I was dog-sick, but went to church and led our branch choir. It lifted my spirits. I hated not seeing my children that day, but all the kids called me and I felt truly honored. I used to hate Mother's Day, but now I love it. My favorite part is giving things to my daughters. They are the honored mothers and I love them so much.

Yep, I'm smelling the blossoms while they last.
My sweetheart and stud.
Brent is a very wonderful Branch President. Everyone loves and appreciates him.
This is "No Temperature" weather. My favorite kind!

Liz Swensen comes over that night with a pie for me!
Liz is so gracious and fun to be around. Thank you, Liz!
Duke, did you know I had to protect my pie! She's a tiger!
Oh, but Papa loves her, too!
She makes him purr!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS,
DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW, AND FUTURE DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW!
I LOVE YOU!
