Generations

Our family, from history to present to the future.

Thanksgiving, a lot to be thankful for!

So, as usual we have a lot to be thankful for. One of which is our new addition to our clan, Eli John Frost. Another is that Suzanne and I, mostly Suzanne, can travel to see and help our kids, especially when they have new babies.

Grandma Suzanne got crafty and made turkeys for everyone.


The proud new dad.


Kimberly set a beautiful table and made sure everyone was fed very well.


The newbie to the clan.


Fun at the Ritz Carlton, Pentagon City pool.


And finally, the SUZANNE'S FAMOUS LEMON MERINGUE PIE.

Down the path to "71"

Grandpa and Grandy have been on the path of life together for 71 years now. They are still going strong. We're glad they are here in Utah and are able to share time together. Congratulations!

It's Someone's Birthday Tomorrow

Happy Birthday Alisha, we are so proud of you and love you so much. You're the best. Thanks for all you do!
Love, Mom and Dad.

Change the Seasons, Change the Sheds

So, we emptied the shed Mom and Dad have had for about 3 yrs. We were able to get everything that was left over into the new shed. As time goes on, it will be emptied too.

And Mom and Dad enjoying one of their favorite views, the Valley from Fernwood.






Hope you're enjoying this hot Indian Summer.

The Shed

Grandpa and Grandy are paying for a storage shed (too much) and have been reducing their belongings. It's down to a manageable amount now so we had a 8x10 shed build for what's left. That way he doesn't have to pay do much and we'll having easier access to it.
Everyone is excited to have it. We'll move their stuff into it next Saturday.

"Big River" at Sundance Theater

We had the opportunity to see the play Big River at the Sundance outdoor theater. It was great. It was a full moon, the cast did a great job, even going off script with Huck laughing uncontrollably and Jim going along with it. As you can see in the last picture, there was a good crowd. Fun was had by all.

Since no one commented on the last post

Is this better?

Gee, maybe we should try this.

(As soon as I post this I'll probably regret it. But, it's how I feel right now. So, here it goes)


Since our current economic policy isn't doing much for recovery, it seems to be just adding to the deficit and we still have 15 million unemployed, maybe we should take a lesson from our friends across the pond.

From the BBC:

UK economic growth jumps to 1.1%

The Chancellor, George Osborne, said the figures proved his plan to cut the public sector was right.

He said: "In the Budget, I set out a plan to restore confidence in our economy by dealing with the deficit, starting this year, and to rebalance growth from the public to private sector.

"Today's figures show the private sector contributing all but 0.1% of the growth in the second quarter, and put beyond doubt that it was right to begin acting on the deficit now."

My understanding of economics is you spend less than you earn. It's that simple The US economy is just like your household budget, only with a lot more zeros.

It's just a thought. I could be wrong.

Sundance

Two days at Sundance equal relaxation and fun and nature. We are blessed to have these opportunities.

I'm thinking about.....

Suzanne's Summer Salad








Afternoon Tea at the Moana Surfrider.


















This is at Four Seasons Jackson, WY. Suzanne declared it the best steak ever. She even gave up her Heinz 57 sauce.

Phoenix

Had the chance to visit Phoenix. Stayed at The Arizona Biltmore and The Boulders. They are two great places, yet very different. Also, visited Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home. It was a great trip. Here are a few photos to enjoy.














What is this, is it real? It's a blown glass cactus by Dale Chihuly. Pretty cool.
