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!
