Standring Family Update 2023

Hi dear friends and family-- 2023 has been quite a year with so much happening! It started with us arriving home from our Utah holiday trip discovering that our dental office remodeling project had a major issue going on. The local contracting company (who you would think would be aware enough to know better) had removed the roof prior to the holidays and covered the whole top of the building with tarps in a questionable plan to hold out the inevitable rains we always have in the winter in Crescent City. Well, sadly, we discovered how inadequate that plan was and we were horrified to find it was raining iINSIDE the building (as well as outside) throughout the whole place when we got back and checked on the progress of the construction. Staff members helped put kiddie pools and buckets all over and carpet had to be pulled up, down to the plank flooring, and ceiling tiles were leaking and falling all over the place. It was a nightmare scenario, but due to needing to keep up dental wo...

Family Holiday Letter and Update 2021

      Well, here it is December 2021 and it seems like it's been quite awhile since we did our last family newletter! We did a blog post update a few years back ( standringfamilyupdates. blogspot.com ) but not much in the last few years, so just to get caught up again--     Jim is still working at his dental office here in Crescent City. He contemplated building a new larger building here, since it is a pretty underserved area, but decided after weighing all factors that adding on a couple operatories to his existing building, which is in a great spot, made more sense. That will likely happen in early 2022. For our church duties, he and I had been working in the Medford, Oregon temple (our nearest one) on a monthly basis up until all temples closed for the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. It has not resumed a schedule yet, due to planned remodeling, but will likely start again also in early 2022. We have been spending some more time down in Fullerton in Southern...
