Brother Reid Wildings Funeral.

Today was Brother Wilding's funeral.  It was a very nice one even though

it lasted 1 1/2 hours.  All of their children were there.

They had a lot of songs which I really enjoyed.  Their children can all sing very well.

They said they wanted it to be a celebration of his like and they wanted to be happy instead of mournful.

Tonight I could hear music and lots of laughter and I'm pretty sure it was their family.

They haven't seen each other for awhile and I'm sure they were having a good time.

Brother Wilding was excited aboout moving on.

This Lily is a plant I got from Mom's Lily.

You may remember I showed you the last time this lily bloomed.

 It was on November 5th which was Mom's birthday.

Today it started to bloom again.  It was Uncle Wayne's birthday and

he is 77 years old.

I felt like Mom was talking to me and telling me she is close by.

Grandpa has to be busy.

I heard the saw and went outside and Dad was using the chop saw.

I came in a got my camera and went out and he was done with the chop saw

and was sanding.  Needless to say the bandage is nice and dirty, because

he was sanding then.

I heard the different saw and went out and he was sawing.

I said what are you doing and he said if I was in a car accident, it wouldn't

mean I would stop driving.

I said at least you could wait until it heals up.

But you know Grandpa,, I does what he wants to no matter what.

Thats why he is always in trouble.

Stubborn you know.

Monday, Aug. 29--corn on the cob

I got some pretty good ears of corn from the produce, so I blanced it and

had some for supper for Becky and Dad and froze the rest.

Wildlife in the back yard.

This bunny rabbit is very hard to see.  He is by the railroad ties.

He was out in the back lane eating weeds when there is all that good grass.

Guess he likes variety also.

I think he lives under the wheelbarrow because that is where he went and

he never came out again.

This little yellow bird was even harder to see.

It is up on the line between the pine tree and the applee tree.

Then the Galbraith tribe came over and scared everything away.

  I didn't get a picture of them as my battery went out.

It was so hot I was setting out in the backyard swing.

Rexburg water park fun.

Wedy spent some time chasing Cade.  He is quick.

Elise and Micah have stopped by Scott and Mariah.

Rod is wondering where that Cade is.

I think Cade was having more fun than anyone except maybe Tyler.

Shanell is working with Landon and he was having a great time,

after he got over being cold.  It was a very warm day but he was cold at first.

Micah is the life of the party.  Just look at her happy smile.

Tyler always gets away without me getting a picture of him.

This is where we sat to watch. 

Who do you think Wendy is looking for now?

Wedding Anniversary.

We have been married 45 years now.

I don't know if I told you are not, but Brother Reid Wilding passed away on tuesday.

He was at church the past 2 sundays, after the Dr. told him he only had

3 weeks to live.  He has had cancer a number of times.

We never know when it is our time.

We worked at the Temple this morning and were rather tired,

so we decided to go out to eat on another day.

Another Dr. visit for Dad.

Dr. Harper looked at Dad's thumb today.  He said it looks okay

but it is going to take a long time to heal.  The nerves are

right there by the surface.

He has a smaller bandage on now.  See his red thumb.
