California

Due to Grandma Gwen's poor health it was decided that her children would hold a reunion of sorts before she passes away. Therefore, Blaine flew in from Missouri, Evelyn from Tucson, Rosemary from Bountiful and Dick drove in from St. George, Utah. Deanna had just been here from Tremonton, Utah so she did not come back at this time.



Here is a picture of
Blaine, Dick, Joyce, Rosemary
and Evelyn putting together a puzzle, which is a traditional family activity.

( use the other picture that shows Gwen in the picture)

Left to right, Joyce, Brian (Michelle's husband) Riley, Brayden, Michelle, Dick, Evelyn and Rosemary. Grandma, Gwen was at the other end of the table. This is the last time we will see her sitting at the table because she is too weak to get out of bed now.

Uncle Milton ( see picture of Milton below) went on a bicycle ride out in the country near Bakersfield where the Kern River flows and water is being diverted into large settling ponds where the water percolates into the ground water reservoirs to be pumped up later for culinary purposes. The other picture shows Grandma Gwen with five of her six children. Deanna was unable to come at this time
