A salute to our 59th wedding anniversary September 16th 2012 
Random shots through the years











and  love still grows more every day
Happy anniversary Dee


The picture of our house  below was taken when  we first moved in,  the grass was in sad dying shape from no water all summer.   So, with automatic sprinklers, we started pouring on the water.  Within a month we were the envy of the whole neighborhood,  lush and green.  Then we got our water bill.

What?  a water bill?  We never got a water bill in Oregon.  Of course not,  we had a well and water was free.  even the lady at the office was amazed it was so high....$160.00!   Much wiser now,  we shut the water down to once every few days,  and I'm hoping our next bill will be a lot lower. 

Water from a well.   What a blessing that we didn't even appreciate.  Live and learn.  (But we still have the greenest grass on the block)

   Our new house in Ucon.  3803  E. 108 N.  Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401
  We still have a lot of boxes to unpack  (someday)   No big hurry .  Right now I'm working on books to get the library set up
 We bought new couches for the living room.  First new furniture in about 20 years.  as you can see,  they tilt back.   Comfy.
                  The end of a long,  long day .  Glad to be home

 Ruth  and Danny's kids who came over Labor day.  Charlotte and hubby Robert,  Pearl, and Jason
 The Rudds borrowed a boat and spent a fun week on the water.   Elaine,  Curt and Krista
 This is the tool shed David built in the yard   to hold tools  (what else?)


I love  this shot of Enoch,,  Scott's little boy ,  deep in contemplation
And this of course is my handsome hubby,  Dee. 
The picture of health




A couple of years ago Dee and I wandered through an old old cemetery near our house in LaGrande
I like the thought of life flowers among the dead
Life goes on 

First day of kindergarten  for Dasche

(if he only knew how many years he has ahead)

but Mom will have some free hours

 This is a great invention!  Every grandparent needs one at reading time


This has a cute story behind it.  Twins,  boy and girl, were placed
in separate incubators.  The girl baby was failing. A nurse
put them both in the same bed,  and the boy put his arm around his
sister.  Her heart beat became regular,  and she thrived from
then on.   Just goes to show you how much we need our
brothers  and sisters


Here (finally)  is a photo of the latest temple wedding in the family. 
Sarah Rose and Jeff Rosendahl.

Congratulations


We are really happy here in Idaho.  One more week of infusion of the antibiotic and the daily trek to the hospital.  Then we will be off to Salt Lake so Dee can see the VA doctor.  they have clinics here (full)  Pocatello (full) Salt Lake (full)  and finally we are going to West Valley clinic.  Plan to spend the night with Beth.  It will be fun to get out of town,  it's in the high 90s and really in the middle of summer. 

We went to ward picnic on Saturday and church on Sunday for the first time,  and got acquainted.  A nice small ward,  lots of good friendly people.  We're glad we are here. 


Can  you believe these are my
beautiful grand-daughters?
Love them all
