We made it back home to South Beach the first part of May with stops in St. George for a nice visit with grandson Sam & his wife Erika, Kaysville, UT to see Nephew Brandon Nielsen and family, along with sister Faye, and Neice Natalie Morgan & cute boys.  Then lunch's with friends the Felters, Conlins, Winwards, Tingey's, & Rasmussen's in Brigham City & Pocatello.  A week with Dad and family in Providence, which included visits to rehab to see my brother Frank who had a 4-wheeler accident.  Then on the way to Pocatello we met the Felters for lunch in Lava Hot Springs and a trip up to their neat hide-a-way in the mountains, along with Roger finding a Geo Tracker to buy from a guy.  Dinner in Pocatello with our good friends the Stone's from our years living in Am Falls, and then because of another wicked ugly wind storm, we had a day to hang out in Am Falls until the wind quit.  On to Boise for a fuel stop and catch up visit with Hollis, and then to Kennewick to spend the weekend with Steven and family.  From Kennewick to Corvallis where we had dinner with Darin & family and Craig and Janet.  Then finally we arrived back to our "Bay Haven" and a week or two of unload, clean up, put away, go visit Curtis and his family, and settle back into our summer time activities which includes visits from friends, and visiting friends and of course getting in some fishing.

The snow & wind storm that happened while we were gone took down about 8 trees around our place but none on any buildings, and we had sons and grandsons who came, cut down, chopped up, split, cleaned up and hauled away, so we are two lucky snowbirds!!
