BEAR LAKE 2008



The only bathroom on the beach!


Look at the different expressions on the kids' faces! Priceless!









Did somebody forget to turn on the heater?









Great trip to Bear Lake! The whole family came on my side and we had a blast! We waterskiied on Monday and Tuesday then the boat's battery died on Wednesday. The starter was having a hard time before that which made it more interesting. We played a great game of football on Sunday night. I even got to make a touchdown! Okay, I must admit that my entire team spent an inordinate amount of energy blocking. My sister took a picture so I'll try and get a copy of that one.


It's important to note that the lake temperature is in the high 60s. BURRRR!

    It looks like a you all had a really fun trip. We haven't had a break from work to take a summer vacation and unfortunately, we won't GET a break until it's time for the kids to head back to school.
    We may have to plan a late September/early October family vacation!

Christmas Gifts

Jill is the slice of home baked pie you long for. Her dad was a farmer. His dad was a farmer. On a hot summer day Jill would call me up to go floating down the canal or ride the slick rocks with the stream into a barely thawed pool of water. She's also the girl I called one day when I was bored and offered to drive two hours and try out this new thing called "Bungee Jumping." We did although I can't remember why . The first year after my college graduation I found myself particularly low on pride.  First of all, I was a college graduate working as a sales clerk.  Too late I discovered that a bachelors degree in sociology is equal to a high school diploma and, in some cases, a G.E.D. and got you hired at JC Penney trying to upsale with a colorful scarf.  On top of it, I'd been dumped.  It wasn't that he was the love of my life.  In fact, it was quite the opposite.  He started planning the wedding aloud and I freaked out, pointing out that we'd only bee...

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...
