Old News But Good News

I am more than a little late with this post. Let's just say the past few weeks have not been my best with recovery from some allergic reaction followed by a nasty virus. I am glad to feel among the living again!
We did enjoy our family trip with all of our children and their spouses (except Conrad who had law school midterms and couldn't go). Two of our grandchildren - Treygan and Kyra also travelled with us and they had a great time. We missed Conrad - he always livens things up - but we loved having Hailey with us. She was a good sport and came without Conrad. We loved being together and eating great food and seeing new places. Tricia has beautifully chronicled this trip on her blog so I will just share a few pictures and memories.



Enjoying a formal night dinner on board the Norwegian Star



Return from the snorkeling trip - the highlights for Hal and I included seeing a whale on the way over and a giant turtle on the way back.



Two of fourteen 4 Wheeling Banditos ( if you saw the dust and dirt we encountered on the trip you would know why we were dressed as we were!) The ride was dusty and wild and my favorite part was the brief ride on the beach!

Sister Time and working on personal histories

Last week I traveled to St. George to spend time with Kay and Pam. We enjoyed lunch together and had a great visit. Of course we made some time for a little shopping after lunch!


Loving the Ahi Tuna Salad almost as much as the company!




Pam and I worked together to organize, scan and save old photos and slides that we will use in our personal histories. We compared memories of our Hawaii, Louisiana and Virginia years growing up. it was fun to talk about and remember our childhood and prepare to begin the writing process. Roger was a good sport and without his help we couldn't have accomplished all the computer work. (Pam and I both know just enough about computers to be a little dangerous - but with Roger's help we got a lot done!)




Of course we made time for some great meals!

Memory Lane

I am working on my Personal History and living a bit in the past. It is fun to go down memory lane and remember all the past good times. These pictures should bring back memories for some of you as well.


Happy Family Reunion Time in Caldwell - even looking at the red brick 2016 Idaho Street home brings back memories! Let me know if you can put a year on this picture.



This happy reunion is was I refer to as "The Uncle Tom's Cabin" Reunion! We had a great time in Island Park that year. If you know the year this reunion took place - let me know!
