On Saturday July 21, we went to the Palmyra Pageant. Gary, Vanessa, Tassia and I went. It was alot of fun to visit all the special places again. We went to the printing press first. Then over to the Temple and then to the Joesph Smith home and grove. The weather was beautiful. Gary couldn't go to everything, so the 3 of us went and did it. Gary patiently waited for us. We even climbed the hill. We ran into a few people from back home here. Like we usually do. But the drive home never gets any easier. It is a long drive at the end of a long day. Gary drove all the way and I think I even slept a little. Oh ya, I'm a grandma. Well grandma to a puppy anyways. Jacquie and Ryan bought a mini pincher and they have named him Max. He is really cute.

Visit to Jacquie and Ryan's

On July 12th I flew down to visit with Jacquie and Ryan. It was a wonderful trip. We laid by the pool and did alot of shopping. We also visited Independence and Liberty Jail. It was alot of fun. The weather was great. Most days it was in the 90's. I saw the best thunderstorm while I was there. The lightening was spectacular. Jacquie and Ryan spoiled me and it was great to spend alot of one on one with Jacquie. Everyone back home did fine without me. We are heading back down to see them at the end of August. We are taking Vanessa down so she can ride with Jacquie back to school.
