Rain, Rain Wash Away





With all our recent rain we thought we would show you some fun we have had.
The hill in the picture is what used to be a dirt road that ran over the wash with drainage pipes underneath.












The remains of the drainage pipes.

This part of the wash runs behind our neighborhood.

Thanksgiving Birthday Bash

Mom is 75, Keith is 50 and Bud is 80. We have much to be thankful for. With Susan and family coming down after the wedding to have Thanksgiving, we moved up the Birthday bash. Dinner will be late afternoon or Early evening. Please call Mom and Dad next week to finalize plans. They are on their way to celebrate with Spencer on his Eagle. We are so proud of him - we will celebrate his accomplishments as well at the party. Any other accomplishments, new babies, weddings, etc. make a list and we will celebrate!!!! If you can not make it, we will miss you but understand the late notice - Keith says its ok - just send money.

We have plenty of floor space and a few beds if you are lucky. If you are staying for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday or just a few days and would like to go to a Temple Session - please let me know and I will call and get an appointment or we can go to one of the sessions that does not require an appointment.

I am so blessed to be part of this family!!!
