JUNE
Doris and I flew to Utah met up with Flee and Lizzy. Then left immediately from the airport to drive to Calgary, Alberta to see Cora, Brett, Isaac and Mimi. We had a great time visiting and working in the garden. And playing with the grand kids.
After returning to Utah, we met up with Ben, April, Brad and Clay. We spent 4 days hanging out with them. We shopping at Cabela's (alot). Went out to eat. Went swimming at the hotel with the boys. We also went to Millie and Jed's for pizza. Where Ben, Shawn and the boys went four-wheeling. We just had a good time visiting.
July Abe, Jamie, Walker, Dan, Jen and Harrison came up for the Cherry Festival. They stayed for a week. During the week we went to the U.P. saw the old cabin, went to Lake Superior, Tahquamenon Falls, went picnicking. Had a great time.
Later in July, we went to the U.P again with Dave, Flee and Lizzy. Did all the same stuff, but had way more fun! :o)

We went to Kentucky to visit Abe, Jamie and Walker (Texas Ranger...sorry, it's late and the typist is getting a bit loopy.....) Felicia had Grader's for the first time. We hung out and played with Walker, Ate good food. Enjoyed each others company.
