I am GEATEFUL beyond words!!!
Well... it’s been a crazy start to Raspberry Days!
Yesterday morning, Mike had to make an unexpected trip to the ER. Thankfully, he’s okay—he just needs plenty of rest. ❤️
Even with everything that’s happened, I’m still here at Raspberry Days, and I want to take a moment to thank the incredible people who have surrounded us with love and support.
💙 Thank you to the amazing team at Bear Lake Memorial Healthcare for taking such great care of Mike.
💙 Thank you to Melissa and Jackie, Bear Lake Raspberry Days organizers, for being so understanding and compassionate when I had to miss the first day.
💙 Thank you to Mike’s boss, Thayne V Nielsen , for being so kind, supportive, and considerate, offering a place to stay.
💙 Thank you to my wonderful friends Kristi Thompson Payne and Jamie Talbot Helmandollar who, despite having families and busy lives, offered to drop everything to drive two hours and help run my booth. I had decline the offer since it was just to chaotic but them willing to help brought me to tears.
💙 Thank you to our family for the prayers, love, encouragement, and wise counsel through it all. To my sister Kelli Turner Packer getting us dinner
💙 Thank you to my father-in-law Craig, for driving up this morning to take Mike to Layton, and to my parents Pat DeYoung Turner and Lester Turner for caring for him while I’m here working.
I truly don’t have the words to express how loved and supported we feel. This community has wrapped its arms around us, and we are so grateful.
If you’re at Raspberry Days, come say hi! I’ll be at my booth today until 8:00 PM, and tomorrow from 10:00 AM–6:00 PM. I’d love to see you! ❤️
