After a LONG delay......

...we finally figured out what was wrong with the pictures and fixed it! Something about them being in a raw format...fixed that button on the camera as well. Here it is though..our Tabernacle! Caleb and I had a great time building this together. The top picture shows the alter and basin for cleansing. Second pic shows the curtain covering the holy of holies. The third one shows the entire tabernacle. We used cloth for the outside coverings.

A Final Farewell!

I am not sure that we knew three months ago we would be saying a final farewell. We just knew that the news was not good and there was a fight to be fought. You fought your fight but in the end did not win. Tonight we will gather as a family to remember and tomorrow we will say farewell. I am not sure if there will be a time in the next few days to share or not. I also don't know if I would be brave enough to speak up even if given the chance! Here are a few of my memories. When I was a sophomore in high school we went to visit Rodney and Sue in Idaho. I remember taking a shower and trying to hang up my towel. Instead I ripped the towel rack right off the wall. I was so scared to go and tell you what I had done but you thought it was funny. You would bring this up MANY times in the future. Boy! you were strong you ripped the towel rack off the wall. ha ha! I also remember being offered strange food! Rocky Mountain oysters! I had no idea what these were and my horror at finding what they were made you laugh as well. (I wouldn't eat them!) I also remember going up into the mountains surrounding Boise with you and aunt Sue. I also received many pieces of blown glass; a grand piano, a harp and many more. You were very talented in this art form. We will all miss you!
