Katherine's wedding

Katherine was married to Cameron Udy at the LaCaille on Tuesday, the 21st of July. It was very well planned and very beautiful.


The bride's make up is applied in the Bride's Room. And chairs are ready outside.

A beautiful setting.


Jen and Summer. And all the bridesmaids.

Guenther helps himself to the French pastries at the reception,
and Lindsay's kids were there too.




I thought that the Father of the Bride did a great job. He made
some remarks at the luncheon that I liked. He quoted, "Marriage is
not about finding the perfect person...it's finding a special person
and seeing them perfectly."




My favorite photo of the wedding. Kath was a radiant
bride.

Stoll Family Get-together and Picking Apricots

On Sunday evening we had our monthly Stoll get-together at Jackie's. Kordell was in town, so it was great to have nearly everyone there. We missed Amalie who was working and the Bargers.



The photo below is of Guenther and Ryan, Jackie's youngest. He's catching up with his grandpa. Ryan's been invited to participate in a national basketball tournament. He'll be a sophomore in the fall, so he's doing very well.

Rich and his family came over last weekend and picked apricots. Guenther's tree was loaded.

Getting things done in West Point

We spent a couple of days in West Point last week. In this photo, Guenther is unhitching David's trailer from the pickup. We were able to load up the pile of limbs and branches and haul them to the dump.

Lindsay brought the kids over to pick some apricots. They're eating a little picnic supper in this photo. We had planned to stay in West Point until Saturday afternoon, and then we planned to drive to Morgan to have fried chicken with the Whitings and Metzlers. But Guenther woke up around 1 a.m. Saturday morning with terrible stomach pain and vomiting. So I drove us to the emergency room in the VA hospital in Salt Lake where they checked to rule out a heart attack. His heart was okay, but we don't really know what's going on. He's going in again for further tests.

4th of July

Our ward scouts place flags in the yard on each holiday. It's wonderful. Last night on the 3rd, the community of South Salt Lake had their gala fireworks display at Granite High, and I persuaded Guenther to take me over to our Stake Center's parking lot. We had a great view of the fireworks which were awesome and escaped any problems with traffic. I loved it.


On Friday, Guenther and I picked cherries in West Point, so we bottled some on Saturday. They're Queen Annes, and generally are wormy, but for some reason this year even though they've not been sprayed, they're worm-free, and we can use them.




Terry, Lisa, and Logan drove home from Lake Powell on the 4th, ( the rest of the family will be home today..the 5th), and we drove them to the airport to catch their plane home. They had a great time on the houseboat. What a vacation they've had...hiking in Zion's, seeing Grand Canyon, family reunions, visiting GramPeachie, camping in Yellowstone, and almost a week at Lake Powell. We are so lucky that they can fly to the lower 48 as often as they've been able to during these past twenty or so years.

Nancy gave a bridal shower for Katherine on Monday night. Since Katherine has loved acting in plays, Nancy's theme of "Broadway" was very appropriate. Each invitation asked the guest to choose a gift associated with a particular broadway play or musical. Mine said "Fiddler on the Roof," so I purchased a little milk can from Michael's and put money in it.."If I Were A Rich Man." Tammy had "Wicked," and the vacuum that she gave to Katherine really did look like the witch in the "Wicked" advertisements. It turned out really fun, and I know that Katherine was pleased. Her wedding date is July 21st, and her nieces are as excited as she is.

The Terry Weight Family Reunion

Terry, Lisa, and Logan flew in from Alaska this past week. With Jed, Melissa, and the twins, they had all their family together, except for Bryce and Rachel. We were able to get together several times. I shot these photos at David's.

Jed and Melissa and the twins spent a night with us, and I snapped these photos.





The Weights also spent an afternoon with us in West Point. Lindsay brought a picnic lunch and fed everyone.

They all enjoyed picking cherries from the tree in the front yard.

McCall's doing a good job.

Logan still has to go some to beat Jed.

Lisa wanted to see GramPeachie, so we flew to Albuquerque on Friday the 26th of June and came back on Sunday the 28th. We had a delightful time visiting with everyone, eating authentic Albuquerque Mexican food, attending the Albuquerque Temple, and even doing a little shopping at Marshall's.

Lisa, Mother, and me.

We stayed at Judy's and went on a walk in the desert on Saturday morning.



I loved seeing the cactus in bloom.

My brother, Howard, and Mother. She's a little bitty thing who can tell you how the cow ate the cabbage, as the old saying goes..meaning she doesn't mince words or hold back telling you what she thinks. At 91 1/2, she is amazing.
