Dan Wilson

Carol's husband, Dan Wilson died on June 14th, 2010 of cancer. I flew into Boise on the 16th. Sally drove up from Utah and met me at the airport. We were able to meet Dan's family at Carol's home that evening. That night we sat around and got acquainted with Dan by listening to his family members tell us about him. It was a good tribute to a good man. Laura and Matt came on Friday night and left on Saturday. With a visit from Nancy and Richard and friend, Lois Blount, we felt loved. The Relief Society Visiting Teacher saw that we had plenty of wonderful food. Scott sent these beautiful star gazer lilies.

Spectacular Rainbow

The first thing we saw when we arrived at our destination was this gorgeous rainbow. It was a lovely tender mercy to see it shimmering in the sky.

River's Edge RV Park

When we drove as far west as we could from Boise, to Meridian and through Wilder, Idaho, we came to the Snake River and the RV Park where Carol lives and acts as manager of the place.

Carol's views


Carol has beautiful views from every window of her house. This picture shows the view from her front step. It was so quiet in the evening. I had almost forgotten how peaceful it is in the country.

Visitors

We had a nice visit with Richard and Nancy. They had been in Boise and were on their way home. Carla and family live 5 miles east of Carol on the same road! I was sorry I didn't make it to see them, but hopefully we will be back to visit.

The Lance gals

It has been many years I have been with my three girls! A moment in time, but precious.
