RICHIE AND ANNA'S WEDDING....

Finally some pictures of the July wedding of Richie and Anna.....It was held in an old barn in the middle of a pasture with goats......open air and room to spread out so no viris laws were broken.  Alot of relatives and a great dinner followed the ceremony.  My family supported them....all but Brayden and Libby....Bray had to work that day...It was fun to watch Annie's two little girls all dressed up...For a great honey moon they were off to Taheiti, Moorea and Bora Bora.....great choice.

RIVER RATS......

Alex....Darren....Brayden.....Ken Christenson

They spent a week on the river in Idaho....with other cousins, uncles etc.  These I boys are such great people that love life and family.   Darren and Sherrie can be very proud of their boys.

Mother Teresa says....

You will teach them to fly...but they will not fly 

your flight.......

You will teach them to dream.....But they will not dream you dream.

You will teach them to live....but they will not live your life.....

Never the less...in every flight ......in every life, in every dream....the print of the way you taught them will remain.....

To raise children you can be proud of....makes you a success.....if you do nothing else in life.

DREADED DAY.....

ME...... 

I hurt every where...seems to be arthritis....worse in my arms and shoulders....tried all the rubs on the market....tylanol.....heating pad.....I look fine so how do I explain it? BUT the dreaded day every year for women ....is the Mamogram day.......You pray you get a thumbs up on the tests.....one year ago...I didn't and had a lumpectomy.....can't spell it. BUT had to also get a ultrasound to further check what we found out was a bag of water in my breast......Thank you God....no cancer.  Yesterday Sherrie had her mamogram....which led to  a biospy.....which we have our fingers crossed while waiting for the outcome of something in her breast....please no cancer......

THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE....

Just when you need a nice quiet lunch in Murray Park with a good friend.....it turns into an adventure!

Shirley and I stopped a Chick Fil-A and got lunch to enjoy in the park....set up our chairs and pulled out lunch.  we chatted a bit and watched a police car pull up and park across the street.  Soon an other police car pulls up and this little chick hops out with lunch and they disappear to some shade across from us....We thought ah ha.....one of them already married and they are sneaking around...WHEN another police  car with a single blond lady in it drives by????? Plot thickens..... she circled a couple of times and and parked behind us some where.....in a  while the couple emerge ...hugged and drove off with the third police car following them....Shirley and I tried to each tried to create a story from what we had witnessed .....while we ate lunch....guess we will never really know the whole story!

Two hours latter we loaded up...... got a block.....and she is out of gas!!!! This is where you realize there still are some good people in the world.....a nice man offered to go get some gas for us.....and before he could get back a lawn mowing guy stopped to help and had enough gas in a can to get us off the main road.....he would not take any money.....soon the other man came back with a gallon of gas and he would not take any money......by then we are melting in the 102 degrees ....but we made it to a filling station and home.....so much for a nice quiet lunch in the park!

I needed to tell you all about my exciting day.....and not keep it "bottled up"....

ANOTHER...NOTHING DAY!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY.......

Kids gone for the weekend....Libby deer hunting in Vernal and Bray down the river in Idaho with family.....I still have Pannier's two dogs....and we all sleep a lot.......Boredom....I guess,  Cleaned up the doggie doo.....and got them packed.....the Pannier's will be home tomorrow to pick them up....two weeks is quite a long time for visitors.....at least I had the dogs to talk to.....instead of the toaster and microwave......

Called Bev Crockston and Bev Taft.....old bridge players.....Bev T is really losing her memory and Bev C.....who is over 100 fell and broke her neck.....keep my fingers crossed I don't fall.  Said Tobby Taft has Leukemia.....I am thankful the only thing bad in my life the last 6 months is I am grey headed and five months older......

I see an "Open House' sign on the house across the street...Didn't even know they planned to move???

Guess two houses in the unit went for over....$400.000.00......Makes my house in a good area.

I say..."No mail in voting!!!!!"
