Summer 2009

Well summer is here in Monroe and we have enjoyed the beautiful weather, occasional rain storms and moderate temperatures (so far!). Our yard is looking good and here are a few shots of the trees and flowers.


Our garden is looking good and thus far. We have peas, beans, potatoes, and corn growing nicely.


The rest of the yard is green and beautiful.

Our Sacred Grove!


Here's proof that we still buy cat food!!

Finally, the rumors are true. We are no longer a truck family. I know it is pretty silly, but the 2005 Dakota just didn't find its way into my heart. It had such a stiff and hard riding suspension and the desire for a van was just too dominant. So we have been looking, as you know, and finally came up with a good deal here in Richfield. We bought a 2007 Grand Caravan as shown and it was like slipping into a familiar glove. It is much like Travis' and Andrew's van, a SXT with 3.8L engine, stowaway seats, power sliding doors and other features. It doesn't have DVD and I was disappointed because I wanted to watch movies while Pam drove!!!



Well with summer hopefully will come a few trips. If we show up in Denver some day, don't be surprised.
