There is quit a change in Gpa and Gma's lives. Gpa retired on the 28th of August and we have moved to our home in Montpelier Idaho. We found the perfect sign to show just who Gpa is! It's nice that Gma will still stand by.

We have gotten most of our house in order. There was a lot to do but it is coming together. Just want everyone to know - we have a, real no fooling, guest room. So, come on down.


We have been planning to go to Indiana since the birth of our 16th grandchild, Jane Elizabeth, Aaron and Alida's new baby. We are excited to see them and have been looking forward to the trip. We have made a few stops on the way including this, which is one of the original Pony Express stations located in Gothenburg Nebraska. It is also located on the Mormon Trail. it was fun to see one of the places our ancestors were.


Our next stop was at the Mormon Trail Center in Omaha Nebraska. We had a great guided tour of the center that gave us some new insights to what the pioneers had to go through just to get to Winter Quarters. It is well worth the stop, if you ever get there. We were able to stop by the Winter Quarters Temple (pictured here). It is one of the small ones and is just as beautiful as the rest. It was closed for upkeep but we got a good look at the outside. Again, it's well worth the stop.

More to come later in the trip.
Love to All
Gma and Gpa
