Omi's Birthday

Ludeal, Sarah and Carolyn Nielson


I have skipped a couple of journal entries because there is not much of interest in them, but I will summarize. Carolyn and Archie enjoyed working in the Temple together. They were making preparations to come visit Texas-I was expecting Christina and they wanted to be there for the birth. They left on Jan 25, 1992. Carolyn was a little worried about coming because she had a new calling to teach Primary, and she wanted to get to know her kids better. I don't think of my mother as a Primary teacher, so I found that interesting. She was also worried about leaving her mother, Sarah. Sarah did not want to make the trip-she was getting old and it was hard on her-so Carolyn arranged for people to take care of her. They also went to SLC to get glasses for Popi, after his cataract surgery.

Jan 30, 1992

Archie is 20-20 with Glasses.

Sarah Ann Sessions Nielson Tuttle is 89 years old today. I called her and she is fine-She has lots of cards-flowers etc. She loves it. I'm so happy for her. I hated to leave her and come to Texas without her especially be gone on her birthday but it is very hard for her to travel now it upsets her whole system and its months before she is back to normal-So I took a chance and let her stay home and she is doing fine so far.

Marianne is real uncomforable and the baby is over due now-She wants to have it today on Moms birthday but I don't think she will.

We had a real nice time in SLC last week-Tosca (the opera) was good and the hotel fun to stay in We shopped and rested then went to lunch...Then Archie went and had his eyes looked at The Doctor could not believe he could see so well then when he looked at his macula and it was fine only a tiny bit of degeneration it blew him away he threw his hands in the air-He is not LDS and just could not understand it. It is a real miricle because all the Doctors we have been to can not have been wrong.

We had a nice trip down-Its humid and was raining but its pretty today Im still glad we live in Utah-It is fun to see all the people we know

Im at Susans getting my hair done she did it for 15 years when I lived here.


Christina was born the day after this entry on Jan 31, 1992. One day after Omi's birthday.
One reason Popi and Grandma moved to Manti was because Popi had been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration and was going blind. They needed to live in a place where Popi could continue to function after he was blind. There is no cure for this so it truly was a miracle that his sight was 20/20 after the cataract surgery. Any comment on this Popi?
