Sunflowers,potato fields and Tetons

Today we went for a little ride. We drove into a new development a few miles from Rexburg called River Rim. It is usually gated and locked. The gate was open so we had a look. It is my dream to live there with the views shown below. We drove on into Driggs and had lunch at the Warbirds. I love the place. We sat outside to eat right next to the runway and watched the glider planes come and go. Private jets coming and going. The food was delicious.

The spud field below is in full bloom. It won't be long until it is snow instead of blossoms. The clouds were starting to gather for our evening thunderstorm. We have had some pretty good ones the last couple of nights.

Sunflowers are in full bloom. I just discovered that by clicking on and enlarging the picture you can see bees inside the sunflower.

Cuba makes you think

On Friday we flew home from Columbia. When we fly to and from South America we nearly always pass over Cuba. I try to imagine what is happening down below us. Probably not all good. It does make you stop and think about all of the good things in your world and how thankful you are to live where we do.

Sunday Jeff celebrated his birthday with a new Guitar Hero from the Clark's. Some of you are aware that Jeff is a closet Karaoke guy. He just added guitar playing to his list of secret things he likes to do. You can see his talented back up singers here with him. Guitar Hero was a hit with the guy who has everything!

My flowers are in their prime. It is a jungle along my front steps. And one more beautiful sunset. They have been so spectacular every night with jewel colored skies. As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, I am very thankful that I live in Rexburg Idaho where we are surrounded by beauty, family and friends.

Happy Birthday Jeff

Happy Birthday Jeff

Here are a few pictures from this year and one from the past. He is celebrating a quiet birthday. Not much going on. I made his favorite chocolate cake so drop by if you are around.

Temple dedication in February. Below is the one thing he always wanted to do in South America...eat at this restaurant. Finally did it this year.
