June 2009

Following is a summary of the month. I haven't taken many pictures but this will give you a glimpse of some of what we have done.

I loaded the photos with the latest events first. This is a picture of the Glenwood City Cemetary. We took a day trip with John and Judy to visit Glenwood, Utah, home to some of the Heileson ancestors. This cemetary has no vegetation. All the plots are surrounded with some kind of cement or brick border and filled with rocks. One plot was actually all covered in cement.

This is the orginal city cemetary where dad's great grandmother is buried. There are very few markers left and absolutely no grass -- all dirt.

I loaded this picture twice and can't get it to go away!!!

This was a store owned and operated by the Heileson family.

We celebrated Dave's birthday and almost burned the house down! Now Dave and I are the same age.

I made 36 sling bags for the girls and leaders going to our ward camp. They all had "Princess" embroidered on them except for the two camp directors which said "Queen" and "Lady in Waiting".

Philip Wirkus left for his mission on the 17th. This was at their home the Sunday before leaving. He will serve in the Mexico Culiacan Mission.

This picture should come after the next one.
On our way to the car Ross tossed their newspaper back to the house. It landed on the roof. Becca had to climb on his back to reach it with the rake.

One morning as Ross and I were on our way to the Draper Temple Becca called with a plumbing problem. After the session we stopped and Ross fixed it. I wonder how much a "white collar" plumber should charge.

Our stake was given the assignment to furnish 20 shawls for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. This is a sampling of what has been donated.

This and That

I have not taken many pictures lately but thought

I would share a couple of things. We went to Idaho for Memorial Day.

This is Grandpa Wirkus at the Ammon Cemetary

where his parents are buried.

Mom's grave at the Lincoln Cemetary
This photo was taken of a picture in a book
of a quilt made by Dorinda Moody (Ross's Great, Great Grandmother).
The following pictures are also from this book.
She made all these quilts totally by hand
plus she wove and dyed the cloth to make them.
We took this picture at the Pioneer Museum.
This is a quilt also made by Dorinda.

We enjoyed having Velma and Johnny visit with us

while they were in town.
We went to the museum with them and Velma
owns the copy of the quilt book.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW!!!
