Saint George, UT

I just noticed the membership numbers again.

The last time I noticed was July 7 when there were 151,728 members...and now it reads 161,980, as of today.

I am impressed to see the numbers have continued to climb at a rapid pace!

This means that Activerain has caught the attention of even more professionals out there who wish to be part of a great family!

Yippee! And I do mean that sincerely!

Many thanks to the dedication of the support staff, to the Ambassadors and to members who continue to contribute and never fail to impress me on a daily basis!

In order to offset the spread of H1N1 or seasonal flu to patients in hospitals, Intermountain Healthcare announced stricter visitation policies.

According to the new rules:

• Children under 14 years of age are not allowed in Intermountain Healthcare hospitals during the flu season unless they actually are patients
• Only 2 visitors at a time in a patient's room
• Patients with cold or flu symptoms will be required to wear a mask and wash hands frequently

The Utah Hospital Association recommended the changes in order to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus and the seasonal flu.

For more information regarding flu season go to the Utah Department of Health at: http://health.utah.gov.

It seems that our household is a safe haven for lost, discarded and abandoned animals.

This is Dixie the Cat and my son. At football practice one evening, Sebastian saw movement under a pine tree in the park. Once practice was over, he went to see what it could possibly be.

To his surprise, it was small kitten! And this kitten wanted-to-play-and-they-did! By the time my husband arrived to pick him up, Sebastian had decided we needed to bring this baby home, of course, with our permission.

How could we say NO? Needless to say, we gained another family member that day! As you can see, they truly are friends and it does look like Dixie is smiling!

One of our favorite family places to go fishing & camping is Otter Creek Reservoir in Antimony, Utah. When we finish for the the day, the boys LOVE jumping off the boat and taking a swim, always racing each other back! The temperature of the water is usually around 60 degrees and they just relish it with shrieks of laughter and splashing each other!

It's great fun...even if you are just watching!

Happy Friday!
