Thanksgiving 2010 in Clinton, Utah

We gathered at Megan and Josh's house in Clinton for Thanksgiving. Michael, Carly, and Ryan came up from Orem. Katie and Curtis and family drove down from Idaho, picking up Don in Logan on the way. Amelia and Tyler and family and Tori and Chris and family came up from West Jordan. Edward and Krystal went to Enterprise. Thanksgiving morning, Ann and Peter came over to show us Ann's water colors and Peter gave us a small book filled with his temple photographs. Lots of food, lots of visiting, lots of fun.

The Will Rogers Follies

Mom, Dad, and Krystal were in the chorus for The Will Rogers Follies produced by the Edge of the Seaters Theatre Company in conjunction with the San Juan High School Drama Department. Edward was also in thc chorus and was a dancer and played Wiley Post. We had four tremendous performances to packed audiences. It was a lot of fun. Willamania . . .

Occupational Hazards

Walking to class from my office, I stumbled up the stairs, hitting my leg on the stairs. It bruised the leg and the bruise oozed down through the tissue of the leg to my foot. Then my leg swelled up as the white blood cells worked on the bruise. It took nearly two months to get over the tenderness and swelling. Luckily I didn't have a break.

Autumn Harvest

With the wonderful winter snow and rich spring rains, our trees did the best ever. Our two little trees gave us twenty-four quarts of wonderful fruit, in addition to a lot of other fresh treats.

We also put up lots of tomatoes. We were still picking tomatoes in mid-October. The garden gave up lot of peppers, peas, corn, beans, squash, and cucumbers.

Hyrum Perkins Birthday

We enjoyed celebrating Hyrum's sixth birthday with family members in West Jordan on September 11th

Elk Ridge in the Autumn

We knew that we couldn't face another winter without a final trip to the mountain. So, in mid-September we took Krystal and Edward for a Saturday picnic ride on the Elk Ridge in our new Rav4.
