More Thanks for Grandparents



Grandparents. These two women are fine examples of grandmas. They are aging beautifully. I just love the twinkle in their eyes and their big beautiful smiles.

My Tom


Still thankful for my Tom after 33 Thanksgivings.

The Day of Thanks






Once again the Millers gathered for a true Thanksgiving feast. We ate the most delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings. We had bits and pieces of the Miller and Mellor families. Spencer joined us from Rexburg which was a treat. I loved the placecards at each plate. We had old and young which made the day a real treasure. Thanks Mellors for opening your home and sharing your hospitality. Enjoy the photos.

Boise Beauty



We had a little visit with baby M this past weekend. She produced her first giggle with Grandpa.
Jordan and Rachael gave wonderful talks in church that we were pleased to be able to hear and see. Baby M is an armful of love and can she ever go a long time in between feedings. (7 hrs) Whew! I was even hungry.

Jury Duty


On November 2, 2009 I had to go to jury duty for the very first time in my life. The hardest part was finding a parking place. My old next door neighbor was the judge that day which made it more interesting.
He assured all the potential jurors that he would accommodate their concerns. One woman had anxiety attacks, another was nauseated, another had job concerns, another felt she was too prejudiced. In the end the prosecuting attorney kept all of the original 16 chosen and the rest of us were sent home and told we would not have to return for two years. The chosen 16 had to stay for two days to serve on a grand jury. This means they had to determine if there was enough evidence to actually go forward with a trial.
I learned a great deal and would gladly return to serve again. This time I will leave in plenty of time to get a good parking space!!!!
