Beautiful Flowers

 Shawnee has the most beautiful flowers growing in her yard.  She takes such excellent care of them.  It is so relaxing to sit in or walk around her yard.

 Pretty Cosmos in front - Shawnee watering the flowerbed in the front yard.

2012 July in Idaho


I had a chance to visit Paul while in Blackfoot.  He is now living in the extended care center of the Bingham Memorial Hospital.  He is experiencing the deterioration of his muscles and is unable to walk.

Paul has a Jazzy mobile wheelchair to get around.  He spends his time using his computer and communicating with the other occupants in the Center.  He is happy there and appreciates the services.
 Marilyn and I at the Lemmon Reunion held July 28 at the Bingham County Park in Shelley, Idaho.
 This is Uncle Byron and Aunt Patty with their son Rob and his wife.  Uncle Byron is the only living of my Mother's family.  Byron is the youngest of 11 children of Washington and Ida Lemmon.
 The picnic was in the shelter at the Park.  You can see Marleen Hillam, Jerry Hansen, Margaret Hansen and their daughter-in-law (wife of Marvin Hansen).
 Rulon Hillam conducted the reunion as Aunt Laura's family was in charge of  this year.  He is the only son of Aunt Laura, but he has 6 sisters.  He had a cassette tape of an interview with Grandma Lemmon before she passed away - so we got to listen to her tell about her growing up and about her family.
 Aunt Laura's children:  Bernice, Grace, Vonda, Lola, Nina, Margaret and Rulon.  They had the largest representation of all the families involved.
Serena is visiting with David Lemmon.
 Brian and Tina came to Darrin's Saturday night, so Sunday morning Daisy took the girls out to see the goats and ducks.  Daisy had made popcorn to feed the ducks.  Daisy, Alyssa, Ashton and Carinn on the bridge waiting for the ducks.
 Here come the ducks and geese.
 Alyssa, Ashton and Carinn watching the goats.
 Daisy was the first one ready for church.
 Alyssa, Ashton, Daisy and Carinn ready for church.
 Damon is ready to go also.  He gave a great talk in church on Gratitude.
Brian and Tina at Darrin and Shawnee's.  They spent the day before driving back to Rigby.  It was good to see them.  So glad they could come from Atlanta, GA and spend time with relatives.

Brian is in charge of the Reunion this year.  He and Tina had lots of fun activities prepared.
This photo is most of us at the Sceara Pools (I had an error while importing the pictures, so they are now out of order)

At the Picnic after swimming the cousins are eating hot dogs and hamburgers.  Thanks Brian and Tina,
