They both are happy and doing good!

Thanksgiving

 A quiet Thanksgiving for us, just me, Scott and Drew.

We have much to be thankful for. 

Do you think they are all related?

Scott and his brother Dan and their sons,

Matt, Danny, Ben, Drew, Sam

A good looking group!

They say I will miss this when they are gone.

I am sure they are right, so I took a picture to remember.

Temple Square

My mom wanted to go to the Salt Lake Temple and then to Temple Square.

 I didn't even plant marigolds this year.  They came up from last year so they are just starting to bloom.

 We have had an abundance of cucumbers, a few peppers and the tomatoes are just starting to get ripe.
