July 8

Jack & Velma Earl stayed one night.  Very special!  Yesterday we had our Fullmer Reunion here at our home.  It was so very nice.  Harold & Freda Stromstad and Fern Watkins stayed two nights with us. It was so wonderful to have them with us.  As near as I can figure we had thirty five people at the reunion.  It was a very special time.  About two weeks ago that I spent an afternoon with Evelyn.  We went to Idaho Falls and did some shopping and then we had dinner together.  It was such an enjoyable afternoon.  We thought that Wallace and Charles had gone to Indian Creek to fish but when we got home they had spent the whole day working on the fireplace.  It is finished now and looks just beautiful.  I finished my oil painting of an Indian village at the foot of the Teton peak.  This one I think Charles & Evelyn will get it.  So much work goes into a painting! Lots of fun.

On the 10th of July Wallace & I went to the temple with Vonell Summers to get her endowments.  It was a wonderful day.  We enjoyed eery minute of it.  On July 12th Daren Terry and Vonell went through a session at the temple and then they were married.  It was a very special ceremony.  The spirit of our Heavenly Father was there in such abundance.  After the wedding they took pictures outside the temple.  We came home because the dinner was here.  It turned out wonderful.  Patricia had it all out on the table.  There was an abundance of food and it was very delicious.  The reception that evening was one of the most beautiful that I have seen.  Jossie Teeples Webb is my cousin.  Her daughter Mrs. Sharp catered the reception. I think that Jossie made a lot of the flowers.  It was just beautiful.  On the 24th of July Brenda and her family and Wallae and I went fishing at Indian Creek.  It was very relaxing.  Brenda stayed the night before the 24th.  David was with us.  Son of Blair & JoAnn Wilding.  He is a very special young man.  Saturday the 27th was our Stake 24th of July celebration.  Brenda had talked me into running the two mile marathon.  I ran Friday morning and did it in 30 minutes.  Then Friday night I ran again the two miles.  I was able to do it in 28 minutes.  Then Saturday morning when I went to get out of bed I was so stiff.  I decided I could do it.  I ran the entire distance and made it in 24 minutes.  That is not a super time but for someone who is 70 years old I guess it is not bad.
