Another Reason to Give Thanks

Avery Madeline, arrived today and she is beautiful. She is our first Great Grand Daughter. We have 4 Great Grand Sons, Adam, Zachary, and William. And then Mason. They are her cousins.

Peter Pan

Wednesday Night we were treated as "Senior Citzens" to free turkey dinner and performance of this play at Weber High School. What a great night. Our favorite "Indian" was of course our granddaughter Megan. :o) This scene was particularly impressive as a LOT of practise went into the timing.

This scene also took a lot of coordinating with singing and choreography. There were 30 Indians, 31 Lost "Boys", and 31 Pirates. A LOT of running up and down stairs in the auditorium which these youth took as if they were mountain goats. A lot of energy was expended and a grand time was our experience. What facilities the schools have to work with and what opportunities the youth receive in their educational years. We were really proud of Megan her performance was outstanding. She stayed in character and with having the red on her costume we were able to keep track of her. Granpa said he was able to keep track of her because she was the most beautiful Indian, nevermind Indian, THE most beautiful girl on stage.

Attitude of Gratitude

Tis the season of Thanksgiving and gratitude here is an ongoing list of my gratitudes.


1. Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.


2. My Alan. I figure if I put the Lord first everything else will fall into place, and it does.


3. My Family. From Lesley my first born to Mason the last born, and Jessica our newest family member and Avery whom we are anticipating. You are all included.


48. That number came up real fast.



The rest is not in any order, how do you decide an order?

A Moment in Life

I love to read cartoons. Some I don't bother with but "Pickles" is one of my favorites. It is like watching our lives in print. (scary)

I usually check on "Drabble", I think you will agree this is appropiate.

Third and Fourth Generations

Some of the ones who were in on the beginning. Is that Lilian, the littlest in the front?A few that will always be the littlest, can't have Trick or Treat without them :o)

The First Generation that are responsible for the Second, Third and Fourth Generations.

Some who should know better but are always glad of an excuse to dress up.The little pirate in the back, the beginning of the fourth generation.


Lots of room for more...........

The Treat Box

One of our favorite places to visit are bakeries, we keep hoping we will find a branch of the one in the precinct in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, but so far not a lot of luck. But we did come upon this one in Truckee, CA and always plan to stop on our way, coming or going. We told Alan about it and he went and said the smell was worth the drive.

Just a little place squeezed in.

Just some of the goodies

What we enjoyed this time

Can't wait till next time :o)

San Clemente

We went here for three days, and spent them on the beach. AWESOME!!!! the only thing better is to have our family there with us. Maybe next time. This video clip is VERY amateur, my first attempt to video and post. as you will see it leaves a lot to be desired BUT ................ it is one of our favorite places. The fog rolled in but the ocean was awesome. the second clip is from the next day.
