 (music playing in your head)

Hey hey hey
Ba de ya, say do you remember?
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day….

A little EW&F for those groovy enough to remember September.


1)  Monday started off with breakfast in Brigham City, a drive to Logan, some Aggie true blue ice cream, and a long, breezy hike up to Wind Caves.


2)  Lane planted 2 dozen sunflowers and it’s so much fun watching them come alive.


3)  Wednesday we took a 4 hour loop drive.  Quite the scenery and views!


4)  Don’t break the rules...


5)  September sampler...


6)  Cap this check-in with a little light-hearted covid humor.  How’s everybody doing?

Coming this week…
7th - Labor Day
8th - Justin will be 19!
9th - RayDean is now 1/2 century…WHaaT?
12th - Carrie blows out 43 candles before her 'banana split cake' melts.

It’s a great afternoon for a road trip...and several nights of camping!!!

Can you guess where we’re headed?
__ __ __ E __ __ P__      __ S __ A __ __

Here’s a big clue...




1) it was a week of gatherings. 
RayDean turned 50. That’s a huge momentous number. But she handled it with her usual grace and flair!
Labor Day brought with it a group who knows how to play as hard as they work. Pickle ball was amazing.  
Greg grows exceptional tomatoes!
The Gerber’s started home school (as did others😘😘😘) and now I’ve got a couple giggly g’daughters crushing on Luke. Shhh...don’t tell. 


2)  🤪goofballs - every. single. one.




Count your blessings...you really don’t have to choose. I still find much about life to be rewarding and enjoyable, even in 2020. YOU ARE OUTSTANDING PEOPLE!!!

Coming this week...
15th - Brian marks the anniversary of his birth
19th - Randi completes her 34th trip around the sun ☀️ (That’s alot of miles)

We love you forever!

Pardon another check-in. Sometimes Sunday seems to come more than once a week.  Time flys when you are enjoying life - and I do enjoy being part of your family.

Last weekend the Scott’s were sweet enough to stop by with 1/2 dozen mouthwatering desserts and 2 sweet g’kids.   Come back anytime😋!  

This week is capped off in 3 little words but with big impact. 
Camping, COVID, & Carlie

1) our 2 day/2 night camping trip on Antelope Island was memorable, adventurous, eye-opening, relaxing at times but overall exhausting.  From the tippy top of Frary Peak I could see Brigham City Temple, Bountiful Temple and downtown SLC. (Thx Bullocks for loaning us the tent, and Adams for the camping mattress)

It took the better part of 3 days for me to recover. 

2) if you understand all four of these COVID memes you watch a lot of movies.  Be careful out there. 



3) Carlie was the center of attention...again and again. Get used to it Carlie!  The bride-to-be is counting down 26 days. 



4) FYI: new addresses you might want to jot down.


Be careful, be resourceful, be grateful & stay wonderful!  

We love you forever!

Dearest dynamic direct descendants, 

My laptop is on life support. I’m thinking of pulling the plug.  My photo library, and emails are inaccessible. Whaaa!
Ha!  But I still have my phone.  I will not be defeated. 

1) I’ve lived long enough to celebrate a Golden ‘Friendship’ Anniversary.  50 years as best girlfriends!  We met at age 11 in a dilapidated Montgomery Ward (department store) building where church mtgs were held. Lora had just joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Creek’s had just moved to Longview, Washington.  We have survived ups & downs and ins & outs.



2)  The Hills are new residents of West Jordan!!!  Another West Side Story begins!


3)  Speaking of RayDean, she spotted this on FamilySearch...



4)  Meredith & pickle ball doubles partner, Mike took GOLD in a Kaysville Tournament.  7 rotations, undefeated. Now, that was crazy to watch. 

5) Today we are in St George to celebrate the McArthurs wedding. (Cousin Debbie’s son Brian) 


6)  I’ve been texting Yvonne, the 2007 buyer and now seller/realtor of ‘our’ Trimble Creek home. No buyer yet, the price has dropped to 799K.  She loves the home and will gladly stay put if the sale price doesn’t hold up. 


6)  First cup own your fill!?



6 days until General Conference!  God loves us so much.  Watch and you’ll see. 

We love you forever,
