Vacation with my friend

On Thursday, June 12th I drove with my friend Annette up through Evanston, then to Woodruff, stopping to visit with Kim Wilson (Rich County Assessor), then through Cokeville, and into Star Valley.  We stopped at the temple, and I was able to do an initiatory session.  My goodness, what a teeny tiny temple !! 

Traveled on to Jackson Hole...................

Where we had seats front and center to watch a play.

I follow Molly Bice Jackson (Smally Spice) on Instagram, and she was one of the leads.  

Next morning we were up bright and early, headed north to Jenny Lake.  We hiked around the southern tip of this lake, and up a canyon to Hidden Falls, and part-way to Inspiration Point.  We caught the boat back over.  My knees had just about had it !!

We had a great time  - Check out our hike here !

 

After the hike we headed home, stopping to visit with Kim Olsen Jones in Smoot, then decided to take a different route home, going through Montpelier (saw the new temple being built), stopped at Liberty Cemetery for a short walk (and a scare of lost keys!), then over the mountain coming out at Mink Creek (beautiful), and then Preston, and down through Cache Valley, stopping at Gossner Cheese Factory.  

Made it home by 6pm.  It was a great couple of days, and we never ran out of things to talk about !!

Maroon and White Scrimmage

 When my brother played football in the fall of 1984, his first time as a Senior, he broke his ankle when going out for a pass in the first play of the Maroon and White Scrimmage.  Didn't play again :(

  Now-a-days, they don't let them tackle, and it was pretty tame.  The Varsity played the first 1/2 only.  Tagg was in on 95+% of the plays. He did great, and it was fun to watch. 

Me and Rog in May

Getting Mom's new pots ready for her front flowerbed for Mother's Day.  This involved getting the dirt transferred out of the old broken-down wooden pots at the Property, and moving them. 

Rog had to clean debris out of the creek most everyday for the first part of May. 

Mom and I went to the Syracuse Temple Open House.

We got the garden planted. 

Had dinner at Taggarts when Kelly came for a visit. 

I'm walking alot of mornings at the cemetery with friends.  

Dax graduated! 

Love this family !!! 

Zac had to fix a pipe/ power pole that Jeff snagged with his plow.

Then he helped us pull out a shrub in front of Mom's house.

We started watering the garden 

Burned the burn pile before the burn ban on May 31st. 

Planted more corn. 

Tilled the bottom of the garden to keep it weed free. 

 

Mom's Iris sure were beautiful this year. 

We had a great time (and food!) at Jaden and Abby's baby shower. We wish the new parents (and grandparents) well, with new baby Sophie ! 

Another Project - Part 1 (May)

Zac is never happier, than when he has a project.

What's up with the Rich Gang in Morgan

Treyson is continuing his body building, preparing for a show later this year.  He is on the "CUT" now, so dropping everything but muscle.  He is so dedicated, it's impressive. 

Tagg went on a trip to Idaho with his friends.  Click here to see their fun. 

Zac has started ANOTHER project.  Check back for video.

Big Papa !  Tagg has been doing Football Camp for a week, which will end with the Maroon and White Scrimmage on June 4th. 

CJ, being the Senior "MOM" has alot of responsibility in all things football related.  She created this cool TROPHY for camp.  One lucky boy will be the G.O.A.T.   Guess who contributed the "goat" from my "play animal" stash for grandkids?  HAHA. 

Thatch has been playing recreation baseball - Click here for video
