Memorial Day at the Farm

Tyra and I spent Memorial Day Weekend at the Farm with Mom and Dad

Highlights:

Dad made Tyra a sling shot and taught her how to use it. After practicing their skills, they rode their four wheelers to the pit where dad set up bottles practice on.

We took tulips, mums and lilacs to decorate the graves. Dad said that when Grandpa Hillam was alive, he told them he didn't want anyone putting any stinky sneeze starters on his grave! Guess we'll have to deal with him later on that!

On the way to the cemeteries, Mom and Dad showed me where all our Grandma's and Grandpa's lived and told me stories I better hurry and write down before I forget. The picture of dad in front of the river is the spot where he was baptized. The brown two story house mom lived in-in St. Anthony.

Tyra spotted a skunk between the shed and the bunk house. When I told dad, he quickly grabbed his gun and took off after it. I hate to report that the skunk did live through the weekend. My observation was that it was pretty darn comfortable and acted as if he owned the place.

Dad drove us down to warm river and around other side to the Ashton Bridge. Mom made some very familiar noises when Dad drove up a very steep hill with a very steep edge around a very sharp curve. I think you will all remember them. Mom covered her head with her jacket and it worked like a charm.
The weather was typical for Memorial Day weekend but Tyra and Grandpa took every opportunity to ride their four wheelers all around the farm.

Tyra was brave and attended their primary. She loved the teachers magic acts. I found the new Primary President and asked if I could visit. I love primary! All through sharing time and Closing Exercises, there was this little boy who kept raising his voice asking if it was time to go home yet? After church, I waited outside and visited with the nicest man. After we got in the car mom told me he was a General Authority.

It was a nice weekend away. I forgot all the things I was feeling stressed over and now.....I am beginning to remember and better get at it!
