Life on a Priority Road

We live on what is referred to in Germany as a priority road. Essentially, it's the main street through our village. It's a busy street that takes travelers to the autobahn, or residents to their homes from the autobahn. We are the ones that get "please sweep your sidewalk" notes from the "street nazis" and parking tickets for tires on the sidewalks. It's all part of living on a priority road. There is a sense of responsibility, and direction, and excitement on the street where we live.

Carolyn's 80th Birthday

My mom turned 80 this year and we had a big party to celebrate. Thanks to Malisa Twelves (see link to her blog on the left) for the great group shots at the Blue Bird Cafe in Logan, Utah, and some family portraits later in the day after certain cranky ones had napped.

The in-laws
Mike & Kaylene, Roger & Julie, Scott & Linda, David & Penny, Alan & Kathy
Bob & I, Buffy, and Mom

The Greats and Grands -- I don't think I'll try to tag them all. Sorry.

Carolyn and her posterity - 51 and growing

This is the best shot we got of Carter all day.

Two of my dad's brothers came, and a couple of their kids putting the
head count for lunch at about 70.
