 This deciding what color to choose takes concentration  for Dreyken
 Where they ended up,  in Grandpa's front yard .   Interesting collection
What a nice memory .   rocks (and families) last forever

This  was taken at our 60th wedding anniversary reunion in Ucon.
We managed  to get all 7 kids together.
Ruth, Elaine, Mark, David, Linn, Karen, Brian
Dee and GeorgAnna

Congratulations  to grand-daughter Kelsey Rudd Sibbert  on graduation from BYU-I  nursing program .  Sick people are   going to love having her tend them.  No one will want to get well.   We love you,  Kelsey

I did another dumb thing a few days ago.  we had grilled meat which was tough,  so I cut it up and put it in a pan with water to cook.  Dee called me in to lie down with him on the bed,  and I fell asleep.  soon Dee was us saying "I smell smoke" and the house smelled awful. 

I had forgotten it,  and the pan was burned black,  also the meat needless to say.  It too most of the day to air it out,  with all doors and windows open (on a 90 degree day)

It reminded me of the day many years ago when I was boiling rubber baby nipples to sterilize them.  I put the babies in the stroller and went off to town.   That was even a greater disaster.  We had to have all the clothes cleaned,  drapes and curtain,  and some things never did lose the smell. 

Moral:  an unwatched pot always burns.  sooner than later.

Any one out there remember baby bottles with rubber nipples?   


Grandson Jackson is engaged.   This lovely girl is named Chelsey Speirs and their wedding is set for August 17th  in Idaho Falls temple.   Congratulations!

Lots of friends and relatives sent greetings.  It was fun to read 
celebrating our 60th wedding and my 80th birthday  

 Danny arranged for Jason to fly in from California to surprise Ruth
 Obviously it worked.  He's there on an internship for two months.
 Lots of food in the park,  here David tries to decide what he needs
  Now  that looks really good,  his own home made chili on top
 Curt and Danny enjoying looking at the photo albums I've made.  It's so fun to have people actually want to look at them.
We took the big lawn swing,  when Gramps got tired,  it folded into a bed for a rest.    He was enjoying the day, obviously
 Back at home later,  James,  headed to Dallas Texas mission on the24th, gave me a backrub.  that felt SO good,  he's an expert, self-taught he says. 
Dasche loved playing on David's drums.  everyone got a chance later
Jordan built the lego pyramid,  but Dasche posed for the photo  Cute kid has lost some teeth since his last visit
More  drums with David
15 years old Jordan with Mom Ruth .
we ended up having 39 people here over a period of 6 days,  and it was really a fun time for all to get together.  Kids are wonderful things to have
