After a LOT of anticipation, and “plan A” and “plan B” falling by the wayside, my parents took Lucy’s “group” of grandkids on their much-looked-forward-to “motor home trip” this summer. You see, when each “group” of grandkids reaches a particular age, they get to do certain things. At some ages they get more “Grandfather’s Secrets.”…
I’m sure I’ve talked before here about the “Transformer Principle.” It’s a principle my dad came up with as one of the “Grandfather’s Secrets” he shares each summer with the grandkids, and it’s attached to the one about sex. (More about that in another post if anyone is interested), but the “transformer principle” itself is…
(Continued from back our “Arrival in Venice” post back HERE.) Ok I’ve been trying to figure out how in the world to try to capture even portions of this. I mean how can you narrow down stuff like this? I don’t know. But here goes a try. Let’s go back to the end of Venice:…
Rabbit. (Just have to say that at the beginning of every month. It brings good luck after all…Dave’s family tradition:) Let’s celebrate that good luck coming in September (HOW IN THE WORLD IS IT SEPTEMBER!?) and wrap up Bear Lake.

So I’m a little late celebrating Earth Day, but I got sucked into my computer looking for pictures of the earth for another project and my heart is melting with love for this place as our ultimate “shelter in place.” It is fantastically gorgeous and miraculous and takes my breath away on a daily basis….
Yep, July…I have a goal to do one of these “little things” posts each Friday until I catch up. So here we go. In the beginning of July we were in Newport, living it up with our cousins. All about our time in our favorite family “place” back HERE. We joined our friends in Coronado…
Each year we all try to eek out as many days as we can at the Lake. Because we really love that place I tell you! Sometimes my favorite parts are before and after the reunion, easy and nowhere to be, jubilant reunions as each family joins one by one, the sound of their car…
Summer memories are slipping and fading faster than I can hold onto them. Let’s go back there for a minute on this Thursday evening…how did this week/day pass so fast?? Things are humming along over here. Has everyone joined us back in school by now or do we still have some smart people who are…
