TIM

I decided I love my husband lots. Yesterday when I'm loosing it, about to drop kick my lap top for the last time. Tim drags me kicking and screaming to Best Buy and lets me pick out a new toy. Yup just another reason why I love him Lots!

Las Vegas

Ok I understand Reno having snow but when I scheduled a class down in Las Vegas I was hoping for better weather. We flew in on December 16 when Vegas had their storm. I was hoping to spend time on the strip after classes, and have a little jacuzzi time in the mornings. The weather didn't make it impossible just a little more challenging. Any way still had a good time and yes we did pass our classes

Early Turkey Day

We had family out for an early Thanksgiving. Tom here was the prized guest at 33 pounds. ( It takes 7 hours to cook something that size) My mom and her husband came from Washington my grandma from Ohio. The kids thought it was great to "camp out" for the week. On Veterans day we did the whole Thanksgiving thing, since kids had no school, from turkey to pumpkin pie. On Wednesday my mom, grandma, and I went to Virginia City. Our first stop was to an old time studio for a photo. Grandma and I were dressed as saloon girls, my mom as the proper lady. ( Did I mention that grandma is 92???) It was cute. After that we spent the day showing grandma the town. I'd love to post the old time photo here but I think that there are copyright laws against it. Later in the week we went to see Sand Mountain and Grimes Point.

Idaho

Tim and I spent 4 days in Idaho visiting with his family and friends. It is a long drive from home to Carey ID especially since all the landscape was brown. 2 days were spent in Carey with his sister Kaye and her husband. Tim being the person he is spent one day putting in a water system to make it easier for them. The last few



days we spent in the mountains with his friends from highschool --Kim, Ty, and Cindy. We had a great time just hanging out. I found that my husband is funny when he is drunk ( this is the first time since we have been married) He is very mellow and extremly funny! On the way out of town we stopped by where he used to live, his back yard was Snake River what a playground.

Last Vacation of Summer

Isn't this a pretty sun rise?? This is a view from our room. Tim and I like to sit on the deck and have a cup of coffee while it goes up, the kids want to sleep. David Walleys hot springs is not that far from home, but it is worlds away from the house. We like it because it is close to Lake Tahoe. Every year we spend a week here where we hike, fish, play on rafts at the lake, ride bikes, play pool, and take walks to Genoa. Of course we spend time in the hot mineral baths and out by the pools too.

Family Reunion

Over July 4th week I met with my family up in Minnesota for a family reunion. My Grandma Ann was present for both Perko and Pershern gatherings ( she is the eldest at 92-- she still drives all her "old friends" around and works at the hospital a couple days a week) My Grandpa was the first of of 10 kids while my Grandma was the first of 6. So as you can imagine how big the gatherings were with 5 generations there. I really enjoyed spending time with my cousins as we visited the mines. We live on opposites sides of the US so really don't know each other. I'm hoping that will change. There were so many stories to be heard, some about my Grandpa, very colorful. Its great to learn about your family. I had started a family tree years ago and was able to add a little to it --hey family forward your part of the tree please!
