On Friday morning we had a visit from Julian and Patsy Sorensen. They have loaned me Grandpa Wasden's little journal that includes his ...

Don't let a bunch of space get in your way. A few well placed tall tale memories and you'll feel like we're all together. Hap...

This is truly a work of art. Who can forget the unfortunate fowl that couldn't out run the mower and ended up on our dinner table.

For some reason google wouldn't let me add this to the first post, it was too important not to include.

One of the saddest days of my life was the day that I heard that Powell bean burned down. I was fifteen with a brand new drivers licence an...

If we had one of these it was before my time. Dwight has to wait before everyone else guesses before he chimes in the correct answer.

Steve, we're waiting with bated breath for the next installment. If you don't get one soon, one of us will have to do some digging;...

Please note that Steve and I are having the same problem, along with several others on Blogspot.  Our blogs do not update on other blogs lis...

Ann and I would play on ours forever, the only thing more fun was the seed drill. (this isn't a dump rake, but alas a substitute)

As I was cleaning out the flower beds and went to pull the hollyhocks, because they never do very well where I have planted them, I found a...

This baby spoon is a far cry from the soft, padded "first" eating utensils that I have seen the babies in the family use now. So w...

I doubt that any of you have forgotten this contraption but thought that you would like to know that there are dozens of these still in use...

Dad made so many beautiful marquetry pictures in his lifetime, and people constantly admire the ones that I have hanging in my home. Howev...

Ann seems to be reacting to a tall story - possibly one that Dwight toldl???? Love this picture - it's so wonderful to still be able t...

A rose by Louise's front door I cheerfully went to the Utah Guild Quilt Show with my sisters in Layton, which was a better proposition ...

Louise claims all the pieces are still there

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...

And the brothers are still amazinly slim, showing great restraint by refusing our birthday cakes.

Was this chair once red? Mother must have liked blue, because she painted this chair and it's larger companion blue - and who has the l...

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...
