Farewell to Idaho begins March 23rd, Easter Sunday


We will be speaking in the Victor 2nd Ward at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 23rd. That's Easter Sunday. We want to invite all of ourfamily (those who haven't already moved away before us!!) and friends to come over about 3 p.m. for a luncheon.

We feel like we've been saying goodbye since Thanksgiving. We are definately happy to say there are only 4 weeks before we are really gone. People are starting to say, "Are you still here? I thought you left already!" 13 weeks to wait has been a real long time in someways and a real short time in other ways!
Just one little note about Ted loosing the Mustache after all these years! Tia, Porter, and Selah were visiting us for breakfast the morning he cut the mustache off. We were eating breakfast and Porter kept looking at his grandpa. Very nonchalantly he stated to his mother, "Mom....Somethings wrong with grandpa's lip."
Tia said, "Why do you say that Porter? What do you think is wrong?"
Porter replied, "Cause his lip is swollen or something."
We were laughing and Selah cut in saying, "There's nothing wrong with grandpa's lip. He just shaved his mustache."
The unveiling of Ted's upper lip surprised and astonished most of the kids. I suppose it's because we didn't know what was hiding underneath all these years! I just think he's darn cute without it!

Idaho...a Great Place to Live

It has been a great winter with lots of snow for skiing. This was a beautiful day in March 2008. Tia and I went to the top Pine Creek Pass. We had steep mountains to climb and the reward was long slopes to ski down. I'm trying to soak in lots of outdoor skiing while Ted spends his time on the river catching fish. (No camera of course)
