Looking for the Illusive Big One!

Marty loves to go down and fish for a while! He goes just about every night. He's looking to catch one of the big ones! They swirl all around where his line is but they haven't tasted what he has for them...a great big hook!

Canadian Geese - 2009

Once again the Canadian Geese are here having their new family! This year there are seven new goslings! They have grown sooo fast. Their parents are very attentive to the movement of people and other animals around the pond and keep their babies close by. With a quick kink of mom & dad's head the entire family can be gone and back in the water. Some years not all of the goslings have survived. The cats get them or we have heard that the big fish in the pond pull them under. So far this year all sever have made it!

Cool Windmills!

At the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon we have watched as they delivered, assembled and began using these hugh fans! The blades were longer than a semi-truck flatbed and the big box is as large as a school bus up there...the blades flex with the wind. There is always wind coming down the canyon at two different times of the day. The power is being sold to California for 20 years then Utah will get it.

Getting Away For Some R&R

We took the trailer and went camping up Diamond Fork for a few days...we parked in the sun as the weather is still cool up there...had a wonderful time.

The spring run off is in full swing now. We've had a very long winter and a wet spring so far. The water isn't as pretty as it usually is - sort of muddy right now.

We sure love our "home away from home."

Digger really gives his nose a workout when we go camping...however, he has so many allergies that he sneezes all the time! He is nearly 11 yrs old now and a bit slower then he used to be.

Didn't bother with makeup or dressing up!

Just lots of relaxing.

We camped in an area where we would be in the sun as the weather was still cool. We had a great time. We had a great view from our campsite and could watch the deer and elk with binoculars.

Morganne Adele Strong is Blessed!

Joe & Holly had Morganne blessed in January and these are some of the pictures we took that day. She is a sweet little girl! Joe & Holly come down about once a month and we have dinner together. It has really helped us keep in touch.

I WAIT TOO LONG!

I have waited too long to work on my blog and now I don't remember how to do anything!
I'll have to get some "tech support" from Katie again & relearn how to post pictures, etc.

Will try to work on it this weekend...I was going to paint the shutters on the house - but I hear
it is going to rain...love to you all - Mom & Dad
