June Happenings

Brenda's bathroom is finished. Brenda took some pictures of the new vanity and countertop.

We put in just a single sink with some countertop space and some roomy drawers.
The mirror was a great deal from the Ti' Pan Tent sale. Remnants of granite from the cabinet shop. You know it has to be a deal for us to buy anything. Han't had a sink in there since January.

The bathrooms are great. Brenda also painted Jamie's bedroom to match the upstairs and the downstairs bathroom to cover the yellow bathroom. Sorry girls dad did not like the yellow

bathroom. I am painting so it will match the rest of the house. We had grandma and grandpa get up the stairs to take a peek. That was really hard for grandpa . We are glad he made it to our house. That might not happen again.

Then on Friday we went to Salt Lake to an open house of the new Church History Library. It was really neat. The open house was just on Friday and Saturday this week. It was neat to see the vaults . After this weekend only the public can go on the first level floor. It was quite the building. We saw Joseph Smith's hand writing
Many old pictures from around the world. It was quite amazing place.

It's a great looking building just east of the Conference Center on North Temple.

Finally we had all the Hannis that could come over to have a BBQ at our house.
Grandpa and Grandma made it, Pam on crutches and Craig, Wayne, April and Issac,

Mark and Monica, and their 4 girls and some of Holli's kids,Kirk and Becky

April and Issac and Wayne. Issac is now 10 months old. He is a big baby, very tall.

Grandpa and Grandma and some of the Great Grand daughters and Issac.



Also this summer we have become bird killers. We had a nest of magpies in the back yard. In a storm the 4 babies fell to the ground. They lived in the yard for several days until they left such a mess. We had to have them removed. In a big rainstorm this week a poor bird fell down our chimney and got stuck.

We could hear this poor bird crying in the house and finally decided he was in the chimney even though we could not see him. We called a chimnery sweep to help us out.
Perry and the kind man worked for hours to get the bird out. They made an elevator device out of a tupperware small bowl and tried to get the bird to jump in it. It was the only chance to get him out since we could not remove the insert in the fireplace They put a rope on the end and fished it down the chimney. God must have been looking out for this bird because it worked.

The poor bird was pulled safety and a bit stunned for awhile. We had our chimney capped so that doesn't happen again. We wonder what will be in store for next weekend.

Also had the R.S. Summer social in our yard this week in the pooring rain. Had lots of people in the house for our Gardening Party.
