1987 (?) Mindy waterskiing


In the move to Thousand Oaks Brian found this sketch in a dresser drawer. I presume that it was done in 1987 since that is number by the artist's signature.

Anyone with a memory of when this was made?

Mindy tells us that this was at Allison Rosenberg's bat mitzvah in early 1987.

2009-05 Memorial Day at Willow Creek


We enjoyed some swimming and golf on Memorial Day at Willow Creek.

We ate dinner at the barbeque outside, even though it was a little chilly if you weren't in the sun.

The best part was getting to choose your own food. Joshua was given an ultimatum to eat something healthy and he chose a pickle.

Abby enjoyed her meal.

2009-05-16 Snorkeling in California


We love this photo of Brian and Elsa at the beach in California. We pray every day that they can get settled in their new home and ward. We hear that Elsa pines for Indianapolis and her former friends. Elsa and Ava called with the news that a sea lion swam past them at very close range. We're glad they're enjoying the benefits of living a few minutes from the ocean.

2009-05-24 A Visit to Grant W. Heath's grave


While in St George we visited my father's grave - something to do over Memorial Day weekend. He is buried in the St George cemetary which is east of the temple and close to the main road through town.
We had a little trouble finding the headstone, but as usual, Paula remembered the location pretty well. It was hot July day in 1993 when Grant was buried.

2009-05-22 Golfing in St George

We are spending Memorial Day weekend in St George with Greg and Suzanne Seal. Yesterday we played 18 holes of golf at Sand Hollow Resort, a new golf course north and east of St George. It's a beautiful course winding through red rock formations. Grandma hit one drive over 200 yards and had her best round of golf yet. She finished 18 holes without complaint.

2009-05-18 Lilacs


This is the first year that we have had decent lilacs. I'm not sure if it is the result of a lot of pruning last fall, or better water or what. We've enjoyed their fragrance and their beauty.
