My Mom grew up in Montpelier, Idaho. It is a tiny town close to Bear Lake (which stretches across the Utah/Idaho border). Forty-three years ago, as a surprise wedding gift for his bride, my Dad used all of my Mom’s savings to buy a lot at Bear Lake. Now, I don’t know for sure, but…
Yes, we are still here at the lake. We have to eek out every second we can up here. And we love it. I have some reunion stragglers I never posted. They just symbolize all the stuff we did because man alive, we packed those few days water tight.(My sister is quite artistic.)My sister-in-law and…
(I’m slipping this in WAYYY after June, but love to have it here to document!) June was filled right up with family and Newport and Utah. We started out in Newport, all of us together to celebrate the 4th of July. Lucy learned to cook Nichol’s pasta (our family favorite), along with some other good…
HOORAY!!! The day is finally here!! The day we’ve been working toward to launch our first three podcast episodes. A Sisters Podcast on Growing Up Eyre I announced we were going to do this clear back in APRIL (back HERE), and as I mentioned later (HERE), it’s taken a lot of trial and error to…

Wait. Stop the clock. Let’s freeze time for a minute here before the holidays take over. How in heaven’s name is Halloween already knocking on the door? I’m going to try speedy-quick to sum up July. Then hopefully August and September too because boy, it’s October. These “little things” posts are so fun for us…
Warning: There are a lot of pictures in this post. And a large percentage of them are jellyfish. And part of the story is a little serendipitous (and crazy) which is just what we were looking for on this road trip 😉 Despite the large number of pictures though, included among them are some of…
When Dave and I got married we had two surviving Grandparents between the two of us: my two grandmas. One passed away shortly after we got married and oh how much I miss that dear lady. The other passed away on Thursday. When I got the news between doctor appointments in Wisconsin my heart was…
