No baby yet!


I Am with Molly in Queen Creek Arizona. The Dr. is going to induce her on Wed. Nov. 5th since the baby should be here by now, and just hasn't felt like coming yet. We went to their ward's trunk or treat last night. She's an angel but refuses to wear her halo, however just as we were leaving she put on bunny ears, but mom said no.

Ashlyn and her cousin Cash needed a bite to eat before getting candy

This is Ashlyn preparing to be a good helper when her new baby sister comes. She's putting a diaper on her baby.

She's just waiting for someone to play a game with her. I think she's a hustler.

This is Molly and Ashlyn, when Molly was leaving for the doctor hoping she would be induced right away. No such luck!

I've been tagged!

Andrea Gibb Tagged me. I was tagged once before, I think by Stacey, but it was when my mother was moving in with us and I just couldn't think. I still can't think of much. Unlike many, I think as I get older, things bother me less. Many things just aren't important in the whole scheme of things. But here it goes:

1. It really bothers me when the bagger at the grocery store, puts cans in the bag upside down.

2.It, of course, bothers me to have things upside down in my pantry. If someone helps me put things away, I go back and turn things right side up when they aren't looking.

3. I get really annoyed when traveling, and there are mile after mile of construction cones and not a construction worker in sight. Utah is the worst.

4. I don't like to see employees standing outside the store smoking. Especially at a restaurant. It helps that they have to be 20 feet a way from the door, but it's still nausiating.

5. It bothers me when kids are dressed extreme, and they are with their parents at the mall who are probably the ones purchasing the items. I'm sure the kids I see don't work.

6. I probably should have put this as #1. It really bothers me when comedians on TV belittle people running for office. I think it's wrong, no matter what party the politician represents. I think it is especially sad what they have done to President Bush and how disrespectful they are to Sarah Palin. Anyone willing to run for office in this day and age should be appreciated.

7. If I wanted to know who movie stars and athletes want to win the election,I would email them. I don't think they should use the media to express their opinion. If they want to tell their friends fine, but don't tell me, unless I ask.

Ok, I have more negative opinions than I thought. I tagged Les, Lindsay and Lauren.

About Roadkill:

Several people asked us if we got this picture from youtube, but no, Les took this picture just a few blocks from our house. It's great living in a rural area!

Yes, we have snow already!


It's mighty early, but Friday night we were out with friends when we noticed it was snowing!

The next day it was still icy.

Geese in the park weren't sure whether to fly south or not.


ok, this has nothing to do with anything, but the upper apartment, left hand side was our first apartment when we got married over 45 yrs ago. It was $70 a month, fully furnished, utilities paid. It was only about the size of a garage, but I bet it rents for a lot more now.

Harvest


The soil is so rich here, even I can be a gardener. My cucumbers turned out a foot long, but very sweet. We have had hundreds of tomatoes. Someone told me if you put green tomatoes in a box lined with newspaper and cover each row with newspaper, put in the garage which is cool now, we can have tomatoes way into the winter. I did that yesterday, which was good, because we woke up to frost this morning.

Fall in Silver City


This is one of our favorite places to ATV. Silver City has a population of 64 in summer and 1( a security guard in the winter. You can only access it by snow mobile in winter.

Each year they have a home tour. The homes can't be restored on the outside, but on the inside they are quite beautiful. People use them as summer homes. It's almost impossible to buy here as you can't build new and old ones are usually passed down to family or sold word of mouth.

This is the old school house. When a mining town would close down they would bring window, tin roofs, anything they could haul, to begin a new town.

Please note who the major sponsor is for the school. See Idaho does have it's celebrities.

This is the old masonic lodge. Silver City was a big town at one time. The guy that owns the "Silver Slipper Saloon" in town, bought this as a guest house. He has several bedrooms, kitchen and bath fixed up. It's quite nice. The main hall is used by the masons once a year. They are in the process of fixing that part up now.

Miss Tami's Tea Garden


When Lindsay was in town, we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Miss Tami's Tea Garden. I miss Jenni and Lauren, because we used to go there on special occasions.

We had herbal tea and a nice little lunch on china plates.

The pictures didn't turn out very well, but it is all frilly and cozy in there.. I don't think there was a guy in the restaurant. The food is great and is very relaxing. There is a cute little gift shop in there also.
