Update

Dear family,

I guess we need to update our life for you. It doesn't seem like we have anything significant to tell you. Ruth is busy teaching the neighbor girt to sew and to design her own clothes. I just try to keep busy. My latest project is to prepare a history of mom and dad's life in Star Valley for the Star Valley Independent news paper. They are trying to compile a history of the early days in Star Valley. I will send copies to the paper, the library in Afton and the mayor of Alpine when I get it completed. In working on the history I've discovered that two of the brothers that we work with at the temple (the Weeks') are cousins.

We are still enjoying beautiful weather. The garden is almost done for this year. We had lots of peaches, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes. I've been keeping the neighborhood supplied with goodies this summer. It will all come to and end pretty soon. I'm sure we will get a killing frost fairly soon now. Our butternut squash is the size of pumpkins.

Mom here, We were over to visit Grandpa K. last Friday. He is about the same, not anything major wrong. He would like to be out on his own but realizes that is not possible. He is using a wheelchair to get around. He moves it with his feet because he can't stand for very long. His hearing is getting worse as is his eyes so it makes it harder and harder to communicate with him.
He went out with Dee a couple weeks ago to get a sub sandwich and drive around in Dee's truck. We can never get him to go out with us.

We will be down to Harvey's sealing. Just hope it doesn't get postponed again. We love you all and wish we could afford to visit more often.

Dad and mom

It will be nice to visit with you when you come for Harvey's sealing. When we read in your blog that you have butternut squash the size of pumpkins we all groaned simultaneously, knowing that meant there was ALOT of squash to be eaten. We haven't been able to keep up with our small zuchinni squash ... so good luck to you with your pumpkin sized squash.

Thanks for an update it's been awhile since we've seen you. Sounds like your father is getting older and older.
