Special Day

Yesterday August 23 rd was a very special as two of our greatgrands were christened at Richwood Methodist Church by Jim Davis, who is also Derek's greatgrand father, Giovannia Stefan was also baptised so it was a double special. The babies were adorable in their special christening outfits and very good babies for the ceremony. We all went to Tom and Kay's house for a wonderful BBQ, it was wonderful despite the high humidity and every one had a great time.

YOU NEVER KNOW

?You just never know

Yesterday when we went bowling we split up Sam bowled with anothe couple and I bowled with a mother and daughter. The mother is 88 years old , and can only see out of one eye and is left handed but has a 134 average, pettry good. The daughter is great has a 176 average and often bowls over 200 which she did yesterday. Well then there was me, 125 first game, a 91 2nd game, how embrassing then I guess I caught on fire and bowled a 180 had only 2 open frames, it made my day a good bit brighter. Sam says IT IS ONLY A GAME. now everyone says that and I say HEY IT IS BETTER THEN SITTING HOME. So goes to show the older generation can still have a good time.

Utah Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation in Utah with Sally/Paul and family. Paul is a wonderful tour guide and loves to show people the great sights of Utah. We rode the ski lift at Sundance ski resort went to the BIG parade in Salt Lake city it is called the Pioneer parade and it was quite a parade. LOts of motorcyle police city, statepolice and the sheriff dept.. And so many beautiful horses either walking or pulling wagons, no fire trucks plus about 40 beautiful floats and many bands.
We went to the great salt lake and to Antelope Island and island in the lake it also has herds of buffalo's which get luck to see, off to the great Kennecut Bingham Canyon Mine,where Eric works it is an awesome sight eric pointed out the building where he works,he is a mechanic working on repairing the huge machinery that brakes down. The mine is the largest Copper mine in the world, we also went out to see Eric and Jackie"s horse and it is a very nice looking horse. We had dinner at Natalie and Ethan's house on sunday they are great cooks, we also got to see their 4 chickens who keeps them in A Good supply of eggs we all went to a Japanese Steak house for dinner we all enjoyed the little show the cooks do to entertain us while they cook in front of us. Kade was fascinated by all of this Addie not to sure. I took a Ryan Howard tee shirt for Kade and the look on his face was priceless when we told him it said Ryan Howard on the front as that is his favorite player, Addie got a little Princess tee shirt which she even slept in the first night.

Happy Hour

Today is Happy Hour day at the Cardinal Village retirement Home, Sam and I started that when we were living there, it was a big hit with some of the residents. Today we took two of our friends vover with us as one LC ,a bowling friend, is selling her home and will most likely move to Cardinal. It will be a good move for her as she has no close relatives in the area and poor eyesite and can no longer drive. . Sam and I always take a 6pack of O'Doul's over with us and it disappers fast quite a few of women realy like it. Although we only lived there for 15 momths we did make many good friends.
