News from the Rim!!

Dad, Noah, and Greg are apparently having a fine time. Dad has sent a number of photos to my phone - and maybe your phone too! He talked about taking an early morning run that was really great.

I'm hoping there are lots of good photos to share when they return - other than phone photos. I'm sure Greg has taken lots of shots - and hopefully they aren't all scenery. Not that there's anything wrong with scenery, but I'd like to see their campsite, set up, etc.

I'll keep you posted.

"Thank heaven for little girls"

What a treat it has been to have Agnes here to celebrate her 4th birthday!! She is certainly a little girl you'd want to know and hang out with!!

In only 4 years she's managed to capture our hearts.

And she's truly on the way to becoming a little Miss Phoebe - while definitely being her very own person.

She's a little fairer than Phoebe ever was, but so many of her mannerisms are vintage Phoebe.

But I can't think of better "little girl" for her to emulate!!

Like her mom she makes friends everywhere.

Happy Day to you Agnes!! And a wonderful year ahead too!!

What's going on around here!!

It's been pretty busy since I got back from Virginia. For starters, we attended the wedding reception for Irene Rash. It was fun to see Rachel and David, as well as Serafina and Andy. It was a Mexican wedding - complete with lots of good food, lots of music and dancing - and the Money Dance!! Dad participated - luckily I had cash in my purse!!

On Monday, I hosted a retirement luncheon for Anna May. It's not the "official" celebration - just some of us old Clifton folk gathering to eat and visit - and I even orchestrated an Anna May Bingo game that was a big hit!!

Everyone brought food - I just had to schedule it on the day Arcelia comes - and I made President Kimball's Favorite Dessert - and it was a huge hit!

There about 25 all together - and it was lots of fun - we decided we ought to have a mid-summer luncheon every year - just on general principles!!

Harry and Dawn are back from Texas.

On a more somber note, today was the funeral for Ron Olsen. Dad was one of the main speakers - and he did his usual great job.

Now we are happily getting things in place for Phoebe and David's arrival. Turns out Leslie and Sarah are coming at the end of the week too - and a trio of Bonny's beauties will be joining us also.

The more the merrier!!
