Kay has selected the photo update to our blog, and has put me in charge of the text.
We celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary last weekend with a trip to San Diego.  We visited the Mormon Battalion Historical Site in San Diego on Friday, the 20th of November, the day before our actual anniversary on the 21st.

This is Yours Truely in fromt of the Mrmon Battalion Center, leaning on a covered wagon wheel.  As most of you know, I am alway leaning on something, and since my golf clubs remained in the trunk on this trip, the wagon wheel was a good substitute.

This is that beautiful girl of mine at the entrance to the Center.  Though the center was much smaller than we expected, and the tour, guided by some very lovely and sweet sister missionaries was quite short, it was exttremely well done and inspiring.  That musket Kay is grabbing on to is bigger and most likely heavier than she is.

 Our visit to the San Diego Temple on our anniversary day was a great way to celebrate it.  After the session, we were asked if we would please help with some sealings.  Thus, we were kneeling across the alter from each other almost exactly 46 years to the hour from the first time we did 46 years ago.  Where have the years gone.  It was like renewing our own covenants to each other.

 This photo actually belies the talents of the photographer.  The day and the setting were absolutely beautiful.

The sad part about being down here in this beautiful and warm country this time of year is that we sorely miss our family and friends.  It is great to see our grandson attending to the leaf raking duties at home in our absense, with his faithful Guard Dog, Sampson, protecting his blindside.

We wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and Holiday Season.  We truly have a great deal for which we are most thankful.  We send our love and thoughts to all.

We made it to Yuma, but unfortunately without our new driver.  We got to watch him all day the Monday before we left and his favorite place was in the driver's seat and pushing every bottom he could reach.

The Yuma Stake has a Fiesta each year and we were invited by a counselor in the stake presidency. There were tamales and great music.  They featured a Hispanic artist who does all her art work from recycled materials.  This is a most intersting lady we are standing by that she created.  Kim's Boise State shirt didn't seem to help the Broncos on Saturday.
