Sibling Reunion

We had a wonderful roast beef dinner stages in the Hicken's sunken patio on Wednesday evening. Corn, green beans and squash from their garden made the meal memorable. The homemade lemon ice cream was to die for!
The next day we posed for a family picture and said good bye.

The mining town of Columbia

On Septemer 12th my friends, Carolyn and Sherrie Scherck picked me up and we were off on an adventure to our Relief Society Women's Retreat at Longbarn in the Sierras. It was really fun to visit some old mining towns on our way to the Dickson's cabin. We explored the old town of Columbia. I was intrigued with the Ice Cream Parlor sign featuring the name Fallon!!!

The Dickson's cabin

All of us were lodged in a cabin loaned to us by the Dickson family. Three of the 7 Dicksons live in our ward. We all found beds in the 10 bedrooms so we were comfy. The matriarch of the family loves pigs so everywhere were the evidence of her collections! There is a lake about five minutes away from the cabin, so swimming and hiking was available. We mostly read, talked, ate, talked, slept, talked, etc.

All of us

We had a wonderful time and hated to leave.
