Memories


Having lived in the Midwest, and now on the east coast, for about 26 years, I love going back west to Utah and Idaho. I'm fortunate in that I can return 4 or 5 a times a year, and stay 2 to 4 weeks at a time.

I'm posting some pics from the Family Reunion in Idaho. This is from the canal above our house in Richfield. We used to swim in it most every noon break and many times in the early evening. The water is icy cold. Once when Uncle Junior was up from AZ he saw us playing in the water, jumping off the bridge, swimming under the bridge, just having a great time on a hot summer day. He went back to the house, pulled on his swimming trunks, came back to the bridge, and jumped in. He immediately swam to the bank and climbed out; then with some colorful language (but no swearing) let us know that the water was "gol-danged cold!" We were so used to it we didn't even notice. Ahh, good times.
