Do these people look familiar? Your dad and I went over to the cemetary for the Memorial Day program. It had been raining on and off all morning but stopped for the program and then resumed afterwards. It was very inspiring to be reminded that freedom comes with a price. I was happy to see my Institute student, Riley and his wife at the program. He has just returned home safe and sound from Iraq. He was a leader of a platoon of 40 men and he said the Utah group of 120 that went over all came home. There were injuries but all came back and he said this was very unusual. My favorite thing is to see these flags waving in the breeze to us silently saying "I fought so you could be free." I love Memorial Day! We went to the Voorhees for a barbacue. The chicken was cooked outside but we stayed indoors as it continued to rain. We had a fun time playing "Signs" and it was nice to have Russell Voorhees back from Guatamala. We had a patriotic FHE, sang songs and ate lots of good food. Gelfi had a good time talking with those that speak Spanish. Today marks the end of two years that I have headed up a study group of women in our Stake. I turned in my keys so to speak and turned it over to someone else to carry on. We look forward to decorating our fathers' grave this coming Saturday. Wish you could all be there!

when I click on the picasa link it simply opens a generic picassa page and no longer takes me to your gallery. This is true of the last several galleries you have linked. Can you post a URL (web address) to the Picassa galleries? Cheers.
