Wood Trip and Counting my Blessings

Throwing Logs down to the road.
Dad and Mer and Me

So today I had the opporuntiy to go get wood for this winter.  I went with my dad, mom and uncle Merlin.  It was a fun and hard work trip to Pine Creek Bench near Green Canyon.  So getting wood was fine and we had no accidents of any kind, YEAH for that. 



Well when we got back I couldn't find my wallet.  We looked long and hard in our pickup and in my dad's pickup, in Tetonia(which is where I left the pickup) no luck there.  So my mom and I said many different prayers, my dad took one route and I took another route to see if I had dropped it on the road.  No such luck.  So I came home and my parents drove back to rexburg.  I was sitting here at home and praying hard for an inspiration to come to me or to my mom.  My dad called saying that mom said that maybe it might be up toward pine creek bench were we had stopped to take a potty break and get one with nature.  So I prayed some more and I was determined that I needed to find it tonight.  So Tom and I went back up to Pony Creek Bench area and guess what YEAH there was my wallet were I accident dumped it out of my back pocket while trying to get one with nature. 

This is how we emptied the dump truck, Whew

Palmer's House on the corner of the my parents house

This house has been on my parents corner ever since I have been born.  Pro-Rental bought the lot and now wanted to expand so they let the Madison Fire fighters use the house for practice but before that they had a company come in a remove the asbist that was in the house. The fire was so hot, Joe, Brenner(Joe's friend) and I had to keep moving to the corner of the road and finally Dad and Mom came down the road and we got in the truck and moved acrossed the road to Porter's office supply.  It was a sad time to see the house go and like someone said it was Blazing with Memories, just as the Palmers had made so many memories in that house. 

Picture Overload from Camping

I thought that I would put all these in small, so if you want to see them larger then you can click on the picture and it will be larger. 

So my family and I went camping over the weekend of July 16-18 at Moody Meadows which is south of Newdale. It was fun and pictures say a thousand words.
