Lava Hot Springs
It was Tuesday morning when I received a text from my sister Patty. She said my nephew Quinn and his family were up from Arizona. They are all going to Lava and asked me if I wanted to come over. It sounded like fun, but my first thought was I would be interfering with […]
Fourth of July
I hope everyone had a Happy and safe Fourth of July. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. I remember Shannon and I taking the boys to the Fourth of July celebration in Arimo. We had so much fun and those are memories I will always cherish. My holiday started off […]
Family Reunion
A few weekends ago, my little brother Jon and his entire family (Except his daughter Erin) traveled up from Nevada so he could show them the ranch we grew up on. It was a perfect opportunity for all of us to meet at Mom’s house. The only one that couldn’t make it was my […]

Happy Birthday Berna Deane

Happy Memorial Day 2017
This week’s story needs to be on what Memorial Day means to me. First let me acknowledge the brave men and women in our armed forces for their commitment and sacrifice. They have given much so we can enjoy the freedoms we have. I want to thank them and let them know how grateful […]
This is who we are
It was Monday morning, when I received a text from Brittany at the Teton Cancer Institute. “Hey Sir! Could you help with some gas funds for a patient traveling to Salt Lake for a consultation? I’m thinking somewhere in the range of $50 to $100” “Will bring it over today. I just received a […]
Happy Mother’s Day
This will be my fifth Happy Mother’s Day story. My initial instinct is one on not wanting to repeat the stories I have already written. But then I decided there is no way I can give the wonderful Mother’s I have in my life too much credit. I would like to thank my […]
