Note to self...

Never fill the wheat grinder with too much wheat...
Never leave the room and do something else...
This is what you might come back to...

I have been cleaning for hours...flour dust was everywhere down stairs!

Hello...Satan's Helper is calling!

Today I had a chat with Satan's Helper...aka Rhonda. She and Larry stopped by before heading to the ranch to visit for a bit. We got talking about people, church callings, which led to headstones...you know, the common stuff. So we packed up and went to the Centerville Cemetary to have a look see. I am sad, I have no pictures.


Then they took off to head on up the road...Rhonda calls and asks for the directions to the Taggart Grill. Then, as only Satan would do...she tempted us to go there for lunch with them. Of course having no resistance to temptations of the culinary arts, we bagged church and met them up there. It was delicious and they loved it. Of course they commented that this would be the place for Crystal and Ryan. (For those of you who don't know...Ryan is INTO food...creating, eating, and of course plating. So Miller kids...these photo's are for you.

Rhonda happy with her food...

A cute couple...

Larry with girly "shaved" legs and Bob who poses with girly leg stance...what a pair.


Crystal, this one is for you...yummo homemade pita with marinara sauce!


Rocky Road Brownie for Larry


Bob and I decided we were on a mini vacation so we drove through Morgan, East Canyon, Emigration Canyon on in to SLC. It was absolutely beautiful. Of course Bob wanted me to feel and see his accomplishment of biking this route yesterday. Impressed? Sure. Questioning why? Yes! We stopped by to see Dorothy...she was asleep.

Dam Water spilling over...


I realize that when one speaks of "bikers" with the Millers, one must specify which kind.


This is the Watkins kind...


This is the Miller kind...


and this should be nobody's kind!

Happy Father's Day to the Best Dad!!!

Dad rippin' it up ...on two skis.
Wow! A single handle rope...rare back in those days!
A handsome group...too bad you have to age!
Today is Father's Day and I want to say that I have the best dad in the world. Here are my top ten reasons to justify this claim:

1o. He took Sig, Lars, and me in during our formative years.
9. He has a great sense of humor.
8. He is caring and loving.
7. He thinks that I am great.
6. He has a great listening ear.
5. He has a testimony of the gospel.
4. He is awesome on the big screen...our favorite actor/extra.
3. He trusts and believes in me.
2. He loves his grandchildren deeply and is much nicer to them than I am.
1. He made me a great boater and I have fond memories of being his right hand over many
years of Lake Powell and local boating. We bonded in many ways during these times and I
am grateful for the fun, love, laughter, and of course skiing!

Happy Father's Day Dad - I love you tons!

Watkins' Wedding...the last one!

Megan and Bodie were married last Sat. She was a beautiful bride and Bodie was very handsome. These occassions are always entertaining and fun to watch people. The Kimball Home was very quaint and charming. Megan put together a beautiful event. She was very appreciative of her father and even gave him a kiss and a thanks. She is a very sweet, humble girl. Bodie is very lucky to have her. Here are some photo's from the events...
