WE MET ON A BLIND DATE AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED SINCE 1980. WE HAVE 2 GROWN DAUGHTERS AND ALSO CLAIM THEIR HALF-BROTHER. ALL OF THEM ARE MARRIED. OUR DAUGHTERS HAVE GIVEN US 9 GRANDKIDS. BOTH RICK & I GREW UP IN MAGIC VALLEY. DIANE GREW UP ON A FARM IN HANSEN, IDAHO. RICK GREW UP IN THE TOWN OF BUHL, IDAHO. WE LIVE ABOUT 2 MILES OUT OF TOWN IN THE ORIGINAL FARM HOUSE OF THE AREA. (Many thanks given to my nephew's wife-Lyndsay-for preparing the background. She's very talented and apprecieated.)

I TRY TO PATTERN MY LIFE AFTER THIS.

13 th ARTICLE OF FAITH: We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we folllow the admonition of Paul---We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to do endure all things. If there is anything viruous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

KARI'S LATE B-DAY PICTURES and other pics.

Good thought for the day:
Reputation for Excellence

'Work is an antidote for anxiety, and ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility. Whatever our circumstances in life, my dear brethren, let us do the best we can and cultivate a reputation for excellence in all that we do. Let us set our minds and bodies to the glorious opportunity for work that each new day presents.'
Dieter F. Uchtdorf"

Kari turned 17 on the 12th of April.  She's a Junior in High School.  She's improved her grades and is planning on going to CSI when she graduates next year.

A few weeks ago, Rick & I and Rick's brother went 4-wheeling.  (Rick really was too dizzy to drive.  After the first drive up a steep hill, he had one of Danny's girlfriend's boys drive his 4 wheeler.)  Danny drove faster than we like to drive.  We weren't familiar with the area and we sort of got lost.  We ended up at the Little City of Rocks-which is where we wanted to go earlier anyhow.  Earlier in the day, the road had too much snow.  We went a different direction.  I've always wanted to go up close.  It's really kind of neat.
I took 2 pictures.  Maybe sometime when Rick isn't so dizzy, we can go back and truly enjoy the area.
