AUGUST 1981

August 1

Thursday evening we left here after Wallace went to a Cub Pack Meetting.  We drove to Driggs, Idaho.  It was a beautiful drive.  We got there about 11:00.  We got a motel room which we enjoyed.  It had an old fashioned atmosphere.  The next morning we drove to Jackson Hole.  We visited a money promotional "Sweetwater Condo".  It was interesting but we did not have that kind of money.  We then drove to Island Park where Charles & Evelyn and family were camped.  We stayed all night with them.  Today we helped them get a load of firewood.  It is work but we enjoyed it very much.  On the way home Wallace & I drove around by Warm River.  I had not been on that road for years.  It was beautiful.
On June 29th we went to Canada to see Ronda & family.  We had a very wonderful trip.  On the way up we stopped as often as we wanted and we enjoyed it so much.  We found Rom, Ronda & family fine.  They have been building a new home.  It will be very beautiful when it is finished.  We went to church at Cardston.  Rom went with the scouts to a big Jamboree.  He was going to be gone nine days.  Ronda wanted to come home so we brought her home.  We came home by way of Glacier National Park.  It was so beautiful.  The mountains, the waterfalls, the rivers.  We thought it was a most special trip.
On the 3rd of July we went to Jerome to the Fullmer Reunion.  Ronda and children, Jeremy, Gordon & Mark went with us.  We took the camper and stayed overnight at Dorsel's.  It was such a special time.  All of my brothers & sisters were there.  Blair & Philline & children were there.  Joddi, David, & Wendy.  Dorsel & Birdie's son Chris was there.  Dorsel & Birdie had made so many preparations.  They hjad built a shade and brought tables and benches so there was room for everyone to sit down.  It was very hot but they had made it so comfortable for us.  Birdie had cooked for all of us.  Eerything was so delicious!  Their yard was beautiful.  She had beutiful flowers and the lawn was so large and well kept.
On the 5th we started home.  The pickup began to give us trouble.  We were going to camp out another night.  Ronda wanted to go fishing but we were lucky to make it home.
Before she went home, Brenda & family, Vonell, Kevin, Kim, Kirk, Kelly and Jake went to Indian Creek with us fishing.
When I took Ronda back to Canada Kim went with me. We had enjoyed Glacier National Park so much that we decided to go back that way.  It was just as enjoyable the second time as it was the first.  When we got back to Canada we found that Romney had been ill.  We stayed one day and then came back home.  When I got back home I found that Wallace was not well.  Because of the chest pain we took him to the hospital.  He spent two days there and came home still very tired.
On the evening of the 22nd of July we went to Stoddard Camp.  LaVar came up on the 25th.  Brenda and family came up on the 23rd and we had an enjoyable time together.  She and family had to go back home on the 24th.  ON the 25th all of the family came up except Darwin and family and Patricia and family.  Uncle Alden and Aunt Julia also joined us.  It would have been perfect but it rained.  We still had a nice visit together.  Glade and Penny came from Logan and stayed with us from the evening of the 24th and had to return home on the 26th.  It was so nice to have them with us.  It was a fun reunion!  Next year we decided to meet on the first weekend of August.
