The big one got away! Dario caught it, but it escaped. Grandpa & the boys had so much fun fishing on Walter's parents' 6 acre lake that's on their land. Grandpa fried up these two little guys (the fish), and they were tasty. The boys didn't want to eat them. They thought they were bringing home two pets.
Playing "dress-up", in the 1950's. Pretty scary! Here's me and my brother Charlie (Sylvia's Dad) pretending to be outer-space aliens.
Playing dress-up now, more than 50 years later. (And proof that each generation is better than the last..) Pretty sweet! 
Kyla loves to dress up like princesses or ballerinas.

Jeremy's finishing up on the lovely island of Sitka, and says "I wish I could stay here longer." In his last letter he tells of two recent baptisms and finding "a golden family of 5 yesterday". "The spirit was very strong while we taught them. So I'm hoping they will be baptized before I leave... We have been having a lot of success and finding a lot of people to teach. I feel our strong prayers and hard work have been paying off. I'm on my very last lap and I feel like kicking it all the way to the finish line."
And the grand prize winner is Aiden! The official names of the birdies, who flew away from the nest, are Mikey and Little Baby Cutie Bird. Aiden, if you see two doves in your backyard, they're Mikey and Little Baby Cutie Bird paying you a special visit!
Look what's happened in the 3 weeks since I planted my veggie garden! I don't think I've ever had results like this so quickly (there are already baby tomotoes, and we've eaten two salads with the lettuce I've thinned out). I give credit to the rose soil we tilled in, bone meal, and Black Kow Composted Cow Manure.
