Travis Graduates

Fortunately for me, I had an excellent tour guide on the scenic route to Cedar City. Kloyd navigated our way through Hanksville, Bicknell,Torry, Loa and Koosharem on May 2nd. We admired Otter creek and Otter reservoir and saw a lot of magnificent country along the way to Travis's graduation on May 3rd. Travis has worked a long, hard time to gain this award. I admire his persistence in the face of many trials. What a fun, happy family to spend time with. Thanks Kloyd for going with, and thanks Trav and Fa for the hospitality and love.

When do we eat?

I KNOW YOU

Ceremony over, so many people necessitated a search party.
We finally all hooked up.

TEAMWORK

Together they made it happen. So proud of you Travis & Fatima.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!


At least five hours after arriving and being perfect little gentlemen, these tired guys have finally lost patience.

Fell Down Again

Not only was my latest fall embarrassing, it was hard enough to crack or break at least two ribs. I waited to be healed before posting, but I suppose most of you heard about it already. I have two knots on my ribs, but I can breathe, cough and sneeze without pain now. Here's how it happened: I was walking to the steakhouse to eat lunch with Brian Morrison and Craig. they were behind me with their LONG legs so I was walking a little faster than normal when I slid on a slope in the road covered with pea gravel. Craig says he's never seen anybody fall so hard. My breath was knocked out so I couldn't immediately scramble to my feet (I wonder who was in the car at the intersection across the intersection watching). Anyway, they helped me up and I immediately took off for our destination. At the restaurant Brian put ice in a napkin from his water, Craig went and got a cup of ice and Patti (friend and waitress) brought a bag of ice. I was so humiliated.
