The 4th of July was great! In this wonderful land in which we live,

Dearest Family!

    Happy Birthday Ky!!!  On Friday, July 15, he will be 17 years old!!!!

    The 4th of July was great!   In this wonderful land in which we live, some times it is just great to stay at home & just enjoy it!   Dad & I did just that!!!! Relaxed – did a few things which we needed done & enjoyed the day!  One project was to clean out the greenhouse – no tomatoes now until the ones in the garden are ripe. Then on we Tuesday went to Horseshoe Bend, to windy to go out in the boat but fished from the fishing dock, no catching tho!

    Wednesday Dad did the nature hike with four of the 11 year old scouts!  They were out in the back yard, headed toward the driveway, when Dad looked over & saw three small raccoons just strolling down the driveway! They turned to get away & went right into a roll of wire which was there.  One of the leaders asked if they were our pets & he had set it up! No! They finally found their way out of the roll of wire  and went down into the canal.  Thursday’s we still go to the Cowley church in the morning then in the afternoon to the Living Center & help several people index! 

  

    We have had several very nice Skype sessions this week training bishops & ward leaders!  Friday we went to the lake, fished a little, & caught four catfish, one will make a yummy supper! In the afternoon, we went to Cody for the Ribbon cutting of the remodel of the Cody Murals Visitor Center where they have the paintings on the domed ceiling.  Had an enjoyable time visiting with folks we know including Elder James Evanson and wife from Canada. We did some other errands; getting two photos from the Park Co Archives, one of Dick and Dad, the other of our oxen, which we put on FS.  Also checked out an Artist who makes jewelry from elk teeth to get some ideas. We had supper in Cody then headed home.  Saturday a.m. Dad went to the Mtn for his walk a 2 1/2 hour trip & I enjoyed working on a quilt!  Allen & Amber & family had dinner with us also. they were on their way home after going to the temple.

    Sunday morning we left early for the Billings East Stake center to do our second FH training with the Alkali CK, Hilltop and Lake Hills wards. All three are really fired up about the new process. We were able to visit with the Stake Pres and HC man over FH too, both are busy teaching others to use the FS Tree app. We had the HC man's wife help us teach in her own ward and he helped us in another ward. The two wards with younger Ward Councils had little trouble finding names where as, the other one with older WC members needed more help just to use their mobile device, so their success was limited. We did our usual foyer class to teach those just hanging out how to use the FS Tree app.

    Today, after our first class, we headed across the cultural hall, I went one way to the kitchen & Dad went the other way to go to the media center to get copies made. I got our lunch out, no Dad came, I ate my sandwich, then headed to the Media Center to see if I could help him. Found him there, helping the librarian, with her FH.

    Well, we love you all, have a great week & CTR     Our love Mom & Dad
