Don't have time for a photo - so much to do, so little time to do it. Have you tried freezing tomatoes? I really don't want to get o...

Unfortunately, these are all the photos I had a chance to take at Gail's son's wedding.  Gorgeous yard, beautiful bride, handsome gr...

Mid-May of 2007 was the last time we stopped in Riverton at Dwight and Velna's house. We had been in Orem, for Ron to attend the Woodtu...

This is all we have left after our give-away yesterday. Yes, we still can find people who don't have any. But, if they get to the possi...

Ok, at the risk of changing the mood of the blog for a few days, I thought it might be fun to find out what everyone is doing with produce f...

For those siblings who purchased the book on Powell's first 100 years, let it be known that I am in the picture of the band on page 117....

Ron and I stopped in Thermopolis on a side street under a shady tree to make a sandwich and eat a bite before going on our way to Burlingto...

This salt and pepper set was given to our parents for a wedding present. (I do not know who the giver was. ) While they were small and requ...
