March 15th: Marvin and I decided it was time to see our new little Great Grandaughter in St. George. We had a wonderful visit with B.J. and Amber but the focus really was on beautiful little Haylee.
Remember this is a photo of her that was taken three months ago. Can't wait to see her at the Fifield family reunion July 20th-23rd.On April 10th we went to Salt Lake City with Bryce and Laurie to see "Wicked". Before the show we ate at P.F. Changs. Extra delicious!!!
The show was super fun. Well done in every way. A must see.
Couldn't resist slipping this one in. Kyler and Grandpa working hard.On April 24th I flew to Sacramento to meet Marvin who had been to New Mexico for a site visit. From there we drove to Redding to attend Terry's graduation.
We can't wait for you to meet Roxy, Terry's sweetheart and wife.
After graduation we did some touristy type things. Went out to eat, took pictures, got a tour of the Fun Park that Terry manages, went out to eat, took a nap, went out to eat:) and played with Mitzi. Who is Mitzi? She is the newest Fifield hound. Look closely and you can see her with us.
Below is a picture of an impressive bridge that is in Redding
We drove down to the coast to see part of the Redwood Forest. The words "huge and magnificent" now have new meaning for me.
And finally the trip to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We lived there for twenty three years and it has been twenty four years since we left to move to Texas. I have never been back but I have promised regularly that I would go back for a visit. Well on June 2nd I kept my many promises. The following are pictures that probably won't mean much to the Fifields but to the Schaellings they will stir a few memories.
This is the home that we called the green house. It was white with a little green trim and when we lived in it, it was a few years short of 100 years old. Still standing they are putting new siding on it now. The pink is insulation.
John Mark's bedroom windows and the back yard. Notice the picket fence is gone put they still have to paint the new one!
Driving up the drive way to our log home.
Picture doesn't show it but the logs were in really good shape. They are adding on a garage on the left side.
Very disappointed that there was no one at home so I couldn't see the inside.
Do you remember the Linbrook store? Didn't look like this then but this is it today.
The biggest surprise was the Church in Tofield. We were the first members in the Tofield area. They organized a branch there shortly after we moved in and we attended church in the library of the elementary school. Now 24 years later they have this beautiful big stake center in Tofield.
It was wonderful being with Lorne and Linda. So many happy memories. I was able to see Kristie and Stew and their families. I went to church in Edmonton where we attended for so many of those 24 years. There were still a lot of the same people that we knew and worked with back then.
Well that about brings me up to date............... We leave for Portland next week :)
