Relief Society Cookout

These were the women at our table.

Janet Barrus, Karolyn Bartschi, and Jocelyn Kam.

Kathy Stillman and Becky.

Here were some of the other women.

We had a great turnout.

We had hamburgers and hotdogs and lots of salads.

Then we had some great desserts.

It was in Julie Clarks backyard and we had a nice time.

The weather was perfect.

Visiting teaching

Today we went visiting teaching to our 3 ladies.  Two of them wanted to visit

awhile so it took us 2 1/2 hours.  The lesson was on women being "Holy"

women.  A long time ago I gave a Relief Society lesson on Joseph Smith organizing

the first Relief Society.  His mother made this quote and I got

Ginger Brown to write it for me.  She has beautiful penmanship.

Since it was quoted in the lesson I took it along.

Monday, August 22--Garden produce

We got these spuds from 2 plants from our garden.

They sure taste good to me.

This is our last picking of raspberries.  Becky helped me pick them and

we got 2 quarts.  They have been beautiful this year.

I made another batch of jam.

A busy Sabbath ahead of us.

This is a picture of the bouquets that Kaitlyn and Nicole brought to me at the cabin yesterday.

Kaitlyn  picked a few huckleberries also, but Kedryn stayed and picked a

quite a few.  He had the cup 3/4th of the way through.

Then Kedryn decided to build a fort out of cushions and little chairs in

the livingroom.  They had fun playing in it for awhile.

Today Dad has a cold and is staying home from Church.

I work in the library before church starts and go to sacrament meeting,

then work in the library during sunday school and afterwards.

After church we have visiting teachers coming,

and then at 3:30 I have a Library meeting with the Ward.

Becky and I will change Dad's bandage on his thumb later this afternoon.

Guess I better go get ready for church.

Saturday Aug. 20th.--Put new toilets in.

Michael had a platform built to raise it from the floor.

The boys put them in and put the tile on top.

Uncle Tim brought us the toilets and helped set them.

Now we won't have to worry about a leaking toilet.

After lunch, Derek took the boys for a ride up the canyon.

He said the road is much better now than it was in the spring.

Lance took the girls and Katrina for a ride on the new 4 wheeler.

The ride was so comfortable that Ashlyn went to sleep.

Friday 19 August- at cabin

Becky, Dad and I went up to the cabin in the afternoon.

Becky made supper for all of us.  We found out Katrina and kids would

come later and Lance and Derek would come after their motercycle ride.

They got there about 6:45 and Katrina and the kids came later.

It was nice to have them there at the cabin.

Derek and Lance came to help Dad put in the new toilets on saturday.

Dad's thumb was hurting him quite a bit and he finally took an advil.

Out with the old and in with the new.

This plant was struggling so I decided to change it for another one.

Hopefully this plant will do better.It has some color to it instead of just green.

Dad is having a hard time of it today.  He has been throwing up since 4 o'clock,

and it is 10:45 now.  He only had one pain pill early this morning at 7:30.

Any suggestions let me know.
