Dear family and friends, Alex has made a blogger of me on the foundation of computer instruction given me by Maren and Joseph at Christmas. Thank you for your caring and patience. In my very limited experience I appreciate how blogs allow us to stay in touch on a real time basis that beats a phone call because we can savor it more lastingly. It was suggested by Margo that I call my blog 'free advice--worth the price' so anytime I feel the impulse to proffer anyone a dose of my unsolicited wisdom, worth, I claim, at least what it costs you, nothing, I may do so without having to hear the snickers or groans or an obligatory, if insincere, thank you. Given my nearly nonexistent keyboard skills, you are all now fairly safe from the threat of a future overdose of dads free advice. I will, however, extend to each of you the invitation to blog me with any advice that you think I may benefit from, as long as the cost is the same as I ask for mine. Until I get my own computer I thank my wife, Mona, for the use of hers. Yours always near though far, Ken F
P. S. My advice to you is keep blogging.

Dad,
ReplyDeleteMy first piece of advice to you is to KEEP BLOGGING!!!! My second comes from the fact that, while I love the title of your blog, your children and others DO take your advice. Love is also free and comes from the heart. Thanks for looking out for your children and your children's children. We (mostly) appreciate your advice, and are GLAD for the price!
Love,
Megan Marie
Surpize! I finally found you, thanks to Maren! and i look forward to chatting with you often. you still need an e-mail address and come see all the pictures on facebook unless you are using someone elses account. That is ok as long as you check out the pictures. The one of Riley in the snowsuit is great, as it is Corey's old 18 month size and she really doesn't look drowned in it!
ReplyDeletelove you bunches. jan
Mona got the motem fixed so here goes blog #2. Megs and Jan thanks for your comments. It seems I need a facebook acct to view and send pics so I'll try to get one this week. Last week was another busy one for the Duchesne Three [Mona, Alex and me]. With over 600,000 people reportedly losing their jobs last week I feel shocked and saddened for them and grateful to still be among the employed. Hopefully the economy will soon begin to get some traction. Some of my customers are beginning to show some positive signs. I am especially grateful that our children are also anxiously and in most cases gainfully engaged in good causes. My advice to you is to work smart, steadily and when necessary hard to make a worthwhile contribution worthy of compensation. Along with our own efforts we need to heed the counsel of Amulek as recorded in Alma 34:17-29 to cry unto the Lord for our specific needs and the welfare of those we are concerned about. We need to pay careful attention to his reminder that we remember to be charitable to others otherwise our prayer is vain and availeth us nothing. Lets remember that even when we cannot vocally cry unto the Lord to "let [our] hearts be full. drawn out in prayer unto him continually for [our] welfare, and also for the welfare of those who are around [us]." I know that when we are humble and seek to know and do God's will that He surely will lead us by the hand and give us answers to our prayers. Love always, near though far, Ken F
