summer fun

This summer we had reunions, tended grandchildren, went to Twin Lakes and played with family. It has been really fun.

We also went to California

We had a nice visit with Thomas and Cynthia in California. I wish we could have stayed longer, but he had to work and needed his sleep so his ankle can heal. We went to Joe's crab shack and Candy heaven. I went swimming because it was so warm. We went to their ward and were warmly welcomed. Surprisingly I ran into Kevin Starr's older brother who came to assist in giving Thomas a blessing. That was a pleasant shock. I loved looking at all of the oleander bushes that were in bloom. On the way home we went through Lake Tahoe, Carson City, Virginia City and Dayton Nevada. We ate prime rib in Elko and got home late Monday night.

My mom turned 80

Chrissy planned a great birthday party for my mom and I got to help. First she contacted everyone she could who knew mom and had them write something for a book. Next she planned a surprise party for her. I found a restaurant in Salt Lake and Chrissy and Richard came to visit with her and brought her to the party About thirty people came and we ate and laughed and had a good time. By the way, the margarita looking drinks are non-alcoholic. Just thought I would add that little tid-bit
