4th of July

Family gathering at Jon and Jan's house on the 4th of July. Jeremy on the left, Jessica, Rory and Sadie and a friend of Julia behind Jessica. It was a beautiful balmy day. We feasted on turkey, lamb and brisket cooked in Jonathan's new barbecue/smoker. The fireworks were easily viewed from the back yard when it finally got dark about 9:30.

4th of July

The 4th of July is 3 days away. We are going to have a 3 ward picnic at Miller park. We only have to drive 3 blocks! I am making Fred's beans by popular request. Wouldn't dare show up without them. We have to put them in our little red wagon and haul them to the picnic site! Debbie, Jared and Jeremy arrive today.

Memory Table


Family pictures on my memory table. On the left are Lynn's parents,Hilda and Lynn Lance, in the middle is Mother Millie and on the right are Willmuth and Royal Crook. The table belonged to Lynn's grandmother, Ada Lance. Lynn remembers sitting at the table when he and his Dad visited Grandma. Hilda stored fruit jars on it in her basement until we rescued the table and hauled it to California on top of our car!

On the bed is a blanket for the new Call baby.
This is my latest blanket for Jenny and Justin's baby boy, due next month. Notice our beautiful new guest room created by Shawn, Scott and Lane just a year ago this week.
