Birthday 09

There is a wonderful :), rocky, rough, non-vehicle road (except 4-wheelers, of course), up to Pine Creek Reservoir. Darren and Caitlyn came over and we went up and had a picnic here. Then Caitlyn and I walked around the thing. At the far end there is still snow--we're right at timber line. She was disappointed because the water and bog was right where we wanted to go. You should have seen her eyes when I started to take off my shoes and socks and roll up my pants. We made it around--over the rock slide and all. She was pretty proud of herself. I had a great time, too!

We partied the week before, and Tami & Lonny gave me a fantastic chair to set on my deck and recline and read..., Karissa a fun star for the study, and Alysha a California shirt. Today, I also received a Weber barbque. Whohooo. Now I get to learn a few new cooking skills :)
And... we went to the Prospector and had dinner and brought home a piece of lemon cheesecake--and shared it. YUMMMMMM!
Then Matt called. He had heard from the MD that the mole he had removed on Monday was benign. Nice birthday :) Love to all, Mom/Missy

Green Canyon 09

We had a great time at Green Canyon. Here's Lonny with Dutch Oven Cobbler. YMMMM. And the towels and swimsuits hanging remind me that we have been hanging towels and camping for over 20 years!! Since I am too impatient to take the time to move these pictures around and type...you will just have to peruse them as is :). There's Karissa and kids on horses, and my broken dishwasher--nice child to repair it--and more pictures of loved ones! Tami, Andrea, Karissa and Alysha played badminton and laughed until they rolled on the ground and cried. Love to all, Mom/Missy PS, alysha fixed the camera, now it will be focused again. Sorry!
