Mom has been very busy and apologizes for taking so long to contribute to the blog. There have been lots of moms and babies to take care of - our own little "Gus Gus" being the most delightful experience of all! Expectant moms and Covid are not a good combination, but things have calmed down a little bit as this post is being written.
The hot weather all summer has put a damper (or drier) on the garden and the lawn and lots of other things. When it appeared like it would rain in the valley on a few occasions, the clouds would seem to split and bypass Smithfield. In fact, we had some flooding in the northern and southern parts of Cache Valley, but very little rain in Smithfield. Thankfully, there is enough water for now and we are healthy.
We have been happy to visit several of our families and enjoy any and all visits immensely. And we are delighted whenever any of you are able to come to our place.
Emma and Cam are trying to teach us how to play pickleball and we have enjoyed that. Yesterday, they came over and helped us prepare fresh corn for the freezer like we used to do in Hyde Park. That was a delight and we were so grateful to get finished with the project in half the time it would have taken otherwise. We were very sad to have Emma and Cameron come after their rock climbing accident to see if we could help repair some of the damage - but it will definitely take time to mend her sad fingers!
We have enjoyed reading and reviewing family history material for our Family Matters Zoom meeting each week and we are grateful that you have taken the time to join us for those. We hope the grandchildren are learning a few things about their wonderful heritage and that their hearts will continue turning to their fathers.
Dad has been making several batches of hummingbird food each week to keep the little feathered friends fed. There was an unhappy time when a flock of very beautiful but grumpy, stingy little guys flew into town and thought they owned the feeders and would attack any who came to receive refreshment! They have since moved on and peace has been restored, thankfully! One of these days, we may get some photos of them on the blog.
We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful production of "The Play That Went Wrong!" Everything about it was entirely delightful! The plot was fun, the acting was superb, the "wrong" things were hilarious, the supporting crew (Addy) was amazing, and it was overall such a great show! Thanks to Ian for writing and organizing and presenting a memorable, fun, exceptional play!
It has been lovely to take walks in the cool of the evenings, that seem warmer than usual. And to enjoy some amazing sunsets (in the north) from our windows and deck. We are content and at peace for the most part, most of the time. We love you all!!
