June memories

Dad building his work bench and shelves in the new shed.

Calla waiting for a race in the Show Low pool "bull pen" (pink swim cap)

The dairy view...always interesting.

Calla having fun at the next door neighbor's hot tub. Not quite a pool, but better than nothing on a hot summer day!

New look for an old house!

Creek time!

I took Calla and Jenny to the creek a couple times in the last week. They love this spot where there's a rope swing, and enjoyed acting like monkeys on it. It's hard to catch them in "flight" so I didn't get any good shots. But you can imagine how fun it was, can't you? Of course, I'm sitting in a cozy camp chair, with a bottle of ice water, relaxing. No attempts at Tarzan swinging for me.

Calla competes at swim meet in St. John's

She dives pretty, doesn't she? They let the swimmers have a free swim for 30 min. after the swim meet and she spent all her time on the diving boards. She went off the high dive twice, but I missed both shots. I tried to upload two videos of her competing, but they must be too "large" because after an hour, it still hadn't finished. It was a beautiful day for a swim meet and even though she only got a participation ribbon, she beat her personal times in all the events she competed in. Obviously, she has lots of competiton this year, but she'll get better each week.

Happy 31st Anniversary!

There was a knock on the door this afternoon and a pleasant older man was holding this huge hanging planter, a gift from my sweetheart. Aaaah. I told the man that Mark was a "keeper." He spoils me. I love anniversaries, reflecting on our wedding day memories, even if we can't really celebrate in style. Today Mark is working a 12-hour shift and we're feeding the missionaries dinner tonight. The girl's have head colds, etc. and Calla has a fever. So they've been laying around. But I've had fun working on a blog for my great-grandparents, if you're curious, check it out: elmerandardellawatson.blogspot.com
