September - What's up with me and Roger

For Labor Day we had a quick impromptu cook out.  
We've only had 3-4 cookouts at the Property this year :(

This is when Traci cut Roger's hair for the wedding.
I wish he would get it done monthly, but he refuses. 

Mom's sunflowers grew well this year also. 
Sunflowers are such happy flowers. 

Good onion crop this year.  Drying them out in the shop. 

My favorite pan (from my Grandma Dickson) broke again.
I got this in 1995 after Grandma died, and the original handle lasted until 2008, then I had Craig Nelson replace it for me.  It's lasted till now, and I've taken it back to Craig.  Hopefully I'll get it back soon. 

Relaxing on Mom's porch

Doing the corn.   Such a slick way to do corn ! 
Here's how it is done - see video

Football game - like my hat ?
Roger doesn't haha

So glad the garden is mostly 99% done. 

Relief Society activity at Lynette Durrant's.
We made flower arrangements.
I made one for Angie and Jessie for their birthdays. 
Can you spot me in the back?
Emily Pulver, Vinda Preslar, Me, Sara Rice, Lisa Streadbeck, Riley Streadbeck, Annette Streadbeck, Amy Fairchild, and Lynette Durrant (Denise Hansen is taking the picture) 

Tiana (my niece) has been traveling ALL over Europe.  She sends me post cards, and I LOVE THEM !! 

We did tomato juice and salsa this year.  Always glad to get that done. 

Still mowing hard.  I like the exercise I get, but will be glad when it's over. 

LuAnn went to Branson MO with friends. 

Our old 2004 Saturn bit the dust  - we gave it to Kars for Kids. 

 

September at the Rich Ranch

Zac has been doing alot of hiking with friend, Stan Durrant in preparation for a big hike at the end of the month.  This is a upper red castle lake high in the Uintas.   He hiked this on September 15th

The next week (on the 22nd), he and Stan hiked the Great Western Trail, starting near Highway 193 in Layton, and going up on the mountains (that we can see from Morgan to the west), and walking along top of those mountains, clear down to Emigration Canyon at the top of Big Mountain.  This picture shows they approaching the Radar towers. 

This picture shows Porterville in the valley in the far background. 

Treyson is still working out regularly

And he turned 19 years old on the 29th !!
Here he is with Grandma and Grandpa D

Also, on that day, the wind came up and blew the empty swimming pool (just emptied two days earlier), and ruined it :(

Happy  19th Treyson 

Doesn't look like much dog watching here ! 

And guess who got a NEW used car ?
Tagg had to come and show Grandpa Roger

Wedding Celebration

Cam and Josiah's wedding celebration - 09/06/2024
Surprise !  It was actually their 1st wedding anniversary (What?!?!)
They quickly and quietly married on 09/06/2023, before Josiah headed to basic training. 

They've been planning this big family wedding celebration for a year :) 

Our whole family, minus Tagg and Grandma and Grandpa D. were able to travel down to support them.  We rented a big Air BnB with a pool, and boy did we have a great time.
