Willie Handcart - Martins Cove & Sep 23, 2011

2011-09-23T13:38:00.018-06:00

We decided to visit Martin Cove & Willie Handcart sites while we already in Salt Lake September 20 2011.

The first picture is Rock Creek where the rescue took place.

13 people died here the night before the rescue and were buried in a common grave.

The next 3 are at Rock Creek, The grave marker has Samuel Gadd's name one it. He is Garry's Great Uncle.

Garry's Great Grandmother

was in the group.She was Sarah Gadd, 6 years old at the time..It was very interesting.

We saw Independence Rock, the Devils Gap [split rock] and then Martins Cove.
We only stayed at Martins Cove for a few minutes as Garry wanted to get to the Willie Center located at Sixth crossing of the Sweetwater River and it was 56 miles away. It closes at 3 PM but they called ahead and told them we were coming.

The 3 Art pictures in the museum included the same picture that was given to Garry at his birthday party in 2010. It is of Eliza Chapman Gadd and her son Samuel.

We also had Scott & Rae Ann, Amber, Keenan, Leila, Shane & Owen, Lisa & Ron so it was a great time. We missed the rest of the family that wasn't here. For some reason, I didn't get a picture of everyone and a few of them that I did get were totally blurry. Maybe I need a 'new' camera???

Baby Birds- May 4 to 5-21, 2011

2011-05-04T16:08:00.021-06:00

This little bird flew away early Saturday AM. We saw it leave so that is the last of the birds.

On May 18th, two birds flew away and left two birds in the nest. They seemed to be having fun learning how to fly and flew around a lot.

On May 20th, as we stepped outside the 3rd bird left the nest and flew away. Now there is only one bird left. Impossible to think that just a few weeks ago they were this tiny egg.

Christmas Wreath- Bird Nest & 5 eggs Apr 2011

2011-04-19T10:47:00.021-06:00

Such a little bird to have 4 eggs in the nest. I wish I could get a picture of her, but she moves too fast and goes behind the tree.

This morning there were '3' eggs.

We decided it was time to take the Christmas Wreath down, but when we went to do so, we found this neat little nest with one blue egg in it. After two days, there was another egg. We don't know what kind of a bird it is-- it is not a robin. Guess we will have the wreath up for a while.

Spring Cleaning with Lisa's help

2011-04-07T19:16:00.004-06:00

Garry is getting better from his surgery each day. Lisa spent a lot of time with us, so we decided to clean up a few things that have needed help for a long time. She thought we should clean out the book shelves and give the books to DI. We ended up with giving away over 300 books. It looks so much better. Thanks Lisa!!!

The top two pictures are after the clutter was gone. We still have a long ways to go, but it is so much better.

Trip to McCall

2010-11-27T16:48:00.004-07:00

We decided to spend Thanksgiving in McCall this year with Lisa & family.

Lisa, Ali & her friend Rebekah and I left for McCall Tuesday, Nov 23rd. It was snowy and we had to drive pretty slow, but made it okay and found the Aspen condo. It was pretty small and we had to build a fire to get warm. It was one bedroom, a couch that made into a bed and an attic with 2 beds.

We got everything put away and then went to the Festival of Trees. We also went to the Shorelodge for pictures and to look around. They had an art show there on Friday.

Garry & Ron came up Wednesday afternoon and it was good to have them there.

With everyone's help, we had a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner.

Lisa & Ron left for home on Friday. Ali needed to start driving back to Provo on Saturday before the big snow storm.

Brooke, Taylee, Aydrey & Alyssa came Friday. We went to the Festival of Trees again and the girls talked to Santa.

Garry & I left for home Saturday AM and Brooke & family will stay until Monday.

It was a fun time.
