Liz Takes Off

Yep, the youngest has departed. She left today to take up residence in Logan and attend college on-campus at Utah State University.
She and her friend, Lonnie, took off about 11 AM today in their own vehicles (I'm not sure who was following who but I gave Liz the directions). They also took a set of walkie-talkies to keep in contact on the journey.
Here's the route from Google Maps (it's 252 miles with estimated drive time of 4 hours 38 minutes) -

29 Years Ago Today

LaRue and I got married!

In case you haven't seen them already, the Bailey Acres Photo Gallery has a set of our wedding pictures: John & LaRue Wedding

Miturga Lineata

LaRue was cleaning up an area outside the house and came across one of these spiders. We had never seen one like it before. Apparently it lives more on the ground by logs and such. It was living under some bags of leaves we had. We took it out into a open fiedl area and let it go.

More Pictures

This last Weekend Andy and Laurie came to visit and we took them up to Red Canyon Overlook and Visitor Center. Click here for the pictures: Red Canyon

Oh, I do have some picture of the week before when George and Mage were here and we took them to Red Canyon. I'm still working on that set of pictures and will get them posted soon.

Pictures of Kjerstine's First Birthday

We had an early birthday party for one year old Kjerstine last Saturday, July 8th. Her actual birthday is on the 14th.

Here is a link to some of the pictures I took at the park. KD's Birthday.

Superman

It's been a week now, but LaRue and I went to see Superman Returns last Thursday when George and Mage came to visit.
We really liked it! I loved the little things in the movie that paid homage to the 1978 Christopher Reeve film. I also liked seeing Noel Neill and Jack Larson (Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen from the 1950's tv series). Plus the shot of Superman holding the Mustang over his head - just like the cover of Action Comics #1.
There is so much more. If you haven't seen it - SEE IT!

4th Pictures

As promised a few pictures from yesterday -

Here's LaRue by some of the city's flowers that line Vernal's Main Street. Yes, that's my finger in the corner. Oops.


The dinosaur in 4th and rodeo attire.
