I would say that this is one Happy Camper
as son Curtis graduated today, and is now a
full fledged Physician Assistant and ready
to get on with life and spend some time once
again with his family. He hasn't been able to
be home much for the last three years, and that
is too much like when he was in the Army flying
helicopters, and now instead of a new little
daughter he is a Grandpa of three. Wow how
times flys. Congratulations Curtis we are so
proud of you!

As you can see Roger Dodger has done it
again with Friends, Sons and Grandson
getting those Salmon into the Boat!
Fun time had by all and now we eat, smoke,
give away, can and freeze, to enjoy later.

We went from this 50 years ago
to this on our 50th anniversary
in Hawaii


To this with our four sons and their
wives.
Now we also have 12 grandchildren,
and 4 great grandchildren. Our cup runnith
over.

We finally arrived home from Yuma via Utah, Idaho, Washington and finally Oregon. We had 10 days to clean out the MH and get the yard back in shape and enjoy Mother's Day with Darin and family who came over for the day. Alice and Grandpa were just hanging out! Then Roger left for 2 weeks to Montana and will be joined by Steven and Darin for a few days of fishing before they all come back. I plan on visiting kids, grandkids, friends and doing anything I want to while they are gone...

Another day in the desert we went out to the
Rock Mountain where people put their names in the
sand with rocks. There are miles and miles of these
and some of them are really creative. You have to
haul in your rocks from about a mile where there are
plenty, but the amount and the effort is amazing. Some
must bring brooms and rakes to clear out their spot.
We decided that will be a project for next years fun!

What a neat experience we had here in Yuma going to see two beautiful Tigers. The owner has had them since they were 6 weeks old and they are now 15 years old, and are twin sisters. We went out to not only see them but get to help feed them. They eat raw chicken and it was hard to keep hold of the chicken until the tiger grabbed it! Wow!

The desert is in blossom and this is just two little ones in our garden.

This is the closest I came to a "Titanic" moment.

Just a few photo's that Big Rog took in Hawaii Had a wonderful trip and celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary!
