Home Sweet Home

We're in! We have new carpet, new paint and a pile of empty boxes on the back deck. I'll post pictures as we get things settled. For now, we are learning all the new light switches and how much we actually have to wash the dishes before we put them in the dishwasher. We are excited to have our own place and to be together as a family. Seth even gets to work from home tomorrow as he and Peter will be pressure washing the deck and staining it. Have a good week!

A Couple of Things

 This is Martha's mother, Louise Walker, when she graduated from high school in 1937.  Thanks Travis.  He saw this on Laurie (Langeveld's) Face Book page and ask Mom about it.  I'd like to contact her and see what else she has.  I've never seen this one.  Do you see any family resemblance?

Last weekend we spent a couple of days in Post Falls with our two families.  We ran around a little and then blessed Cole on Sunday.  Because we are both retired we came home on Monday and took a different route just for the fun of it.

Friday we went to the temple.  At least Mom did.  One of my medications is a diuretic that reacts rather quickly.  Not to be too graphic but I had to hit four restrooms last week in the course of about an hours shopping.  Mom said not to worry about it just raise my hand and tell the officiator that I needed to use the restroom.  I said, "sure, I'd like to see you do it."  So, I sat in the pickup while she went in and did a session.  I felt like the inactive husband who drives his wife to the temple and sits in the parking lot and waits for her.  I think with careful timing of my medication I will be OK next time.

Not too much going on around here. Kelly and I finished trimming about 2000 Christmas trees for her uncle and we're enjoying some nice weather. The Hill Cumorah pageant wrapped up last week and the farmers started harvesting their wheat this week. Also, Kelly just told me that there is a demolition derby at the Wayne County Fair in two weeks. 11 years she's been holding out on me and I knew nothing about this. Now I just have to find tickets...
