Una mas por toda ustedes salud

I have posted this once and it won't appear so I am going to write it out again. I especially liked this one and will dedicate it to Chuck Bates. Chuck for those of you who don't know, it the nephew of Uncle Ross and Aunt Millie, the husband of Jennifer Harris Bates and our private flying instructor :)!!
Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Edna would say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs 10 dollars, and 10 dollars is 10 dollars."
One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, "Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another change."
Edna replied, "Fred that there airplane ride costs 10 dollars and 10 dollars is 10 dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's 10 dollars."
Fred and Edna agree and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. he does all his tricks over again, but still not a word.
They land and the pilot turns to Fred, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Fred replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Edna fell out, but 10 dollars is 10 dollars."

Mom,

I've been busy with one thing or another, so I haven't hit the Blog lately. What I really want to know is whether you have translated these into Spanish so that you and Big D can share them at firesides and stake conferences.
