City Work




The city is installing a water line behind our house. They have had to build up the area for the installation. I tried to get some pictures so you can see how it has changed the landscape behind our house. Hope you can get an idea of what they are doing.

Repainted Bathroom

While Rose was away we re-did her bathroom

All-State Music

We enjoyed going to the WEMA All-state concert at the Capitol Theatre this morning. It was a four hour long concert featuring a choir and four instrumental ensembles but it really did not seem that long. The music was really good, as you would expect it should be with the best students in the state of Washington High Schools. We were really proud of Rosemary and her performance. She was principal bassoonist in the Wind Symphony. She had a couple of solo parts and she nailed them.

Home and Back to Work

We got back from our quick trip to Utah on Monday evening. We made good time only stopping for gas and lunch and one or two quick pit stops. We were kind of in a hurry to get home as Rosie was sick. She called about the time we getting into Idaho from the Utah side and said she was at school and sick. Teri called the school and got her released. Glen brought her home. She was really sick Monday night and most of the day Tuesday. By late Tuesday she was starting to feel better but she still did not get up to go to Seminary this morning. Its hard to get going after a bout of the flu.

We had a good trip otherwise except it was way too short. I would have liked to have been able to visiti family but it was just to short of time so the only people we saw besides our immediate family was Sheila and Nathan. They were kind enough to give us a place to lay our weary heads for a few nights.

Now we are getting back into the regular routine, which is not exciting so I will not go into details.
