This and That

We have been doing some home decorating. 

Fred got our family pictures hung. I found this cute music staff to add. We are getting some vinyl lettering to add. We will raise the biggest family picture about 7 inches and put the lettering there.

One Sunday I wanted to bake an angel food cake for our family dessert. It was a puffy flop. We still ate it, but it wasn't pretty. 
 

These pictures are out of order. I have not mastered how this blog posts my pictures when I select them. Drives me nuts, but I'm too lazy to work it out.

We have been to Utah for Richard's graduation, a visit to St.George and to Panguitch and Junction to decorate family graves. 

We brought Henry back with us so he and Marissa could play together. The first day I took them to Chick Fil A, the library and this park. Henry wasn't thrilled sharing this swing with Marissa.

Here's the library book drop. These two are pretty cute together.

The kids choose Chick Fil A because their play place was open. 

This is Puffer Lake. When Fred was about five years old, he wandered off from the lake to return to the family picnic spot. He took a detour. Scared his Mom to death. He made it back obviously. 

We drove on down to St. George. The temple is coming right along. It's going to be beautiful. We will go back for the open house for both temples.

Here's our neighborhood Red Cliffs Temple.

This is the Howes family plot area in Junction. It was hot, windy and very dusty.

Here is the Daly's gravesite. This is a pretty cemetery in Panguitch. 

Corinne brought all of the family to participate in the grave decorating. That was so thoughtful and fun to do together. 

We took a pitstop in Beaver for a picnic lunch and then ice cream at the Creamery.

Here we are at the graduation. Pretty unbelievable to have a grand child this old.

The graduation took place at Weber State.

All the proud parents and grandparents. It was great to see Gary and Margot again. It's been years.

Our traveling selfie.

We met up with my brother Craig and his wife Lynette for lunch. It's our tradition. I don't take pictures though. I probably should one of these days. Document us together.

We also met up with Fred's uncle Jay and his wife for lunch at their home. 

A great trip. We went to church in St. George, but there were only a dozen or so people actually at church that we knew. It was a holiday weekend. We stayed with our old neighbors Sharon and Richard Rawlings. It was such a good time together. It no longer felt like home. When we got to our neighborhood here in Aurora, now that felt good.
