4th of JULY

Well we are at Hebgen for our annual fourth celebration!!! With the 4th coming on Satruday this year, Grammy and I came upon June 28th to spend the week. Weather is perfect, around 72/80/35 degrees and a slight wind. As usual doing some clean-up and generally "just taking it easy". Suppose to have some visitors come Wednesday. Our friends the Wards were suppose to make it, but Norine was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and had to be operated on and will be under the weather for a while, so just Grammy and I here for the first couple of days. Nothing wrong with that! That's about it for this posting, we're thinking for your all and wish you were here. Got a FULL lake for a change.
Love and Kisses

Has Spring really made it????

Seems like the transition from Winter to Spring to Summer has been an arduous journey........June has been nothing but rain which is good for the lawn and gardens but hard on the psyche. But as Grandpa Smurth use to say " If GOD sends rain then rain is my choice"!
We are looking forward to heading to Montand, as I'm sure, so are the rest of you. David is using one of his weeks now and it looks like the rest of the summer is about booked at the Cabin. Paul is in town this weekend for a meeting regarding the waste disposal and the need for Aljon compactors. Of course, Brynn is in Ghana volunteering to teach deaf kid how to "sign". It has been agreat experience for her.More later............Grandpa

Bailey's recital

This Sunday afternoon we went to Bailey's recital over at the Ward. Bailey sang about 5 tunes, some accompanied by Spence. It was very good and Bailey has come along way with her singing. She handles the mic and audience very well. The recital was attended by the family and of course applauded very loudly at the conclusion of each piece. You missed a special occasion by not being there.
