Its Citrus Season
Today we picked 200lbs.of oranges and grapefruit. Our friends have a big home orchard, They have about 50 trees. Ron climbed the ladders to pick the oranges.We were grateful for the bounty, we harvested. The rest are going to the food banks.When we arrived home. I got out my citrus juicer, which I only use this time of year. Juiced several quarts of fresh orange juice. It is so delicious. I forgot to take my camera when we were picking. So here are pictures of our days work. It was a beautiful day 74 degrees.

The Sanpitch Dragon
The Sanpitch Dragon can be found in the town of Gunnison ,Utah. Hiding below the underpass. When the cars go over the overpass the dragon roars very loudly. He lies beside a bicycle and jogging pass, so beware when you ride your bike there. He was born May 2007, for the protector of this little town. Below are my cousins Josie and Marylynne Thelin. Ron and I are there too. It was very interesting to see and hear him rooooooooooar. He was made from broken ceramic glass pieces, into a beautiful dragon about 100 feet long.

Wedding Of The Year 2008
It was all worth it to travel the long distance we did. A beautiful Alberta Temple Ceremony. They looked radiant, It was very cold and windy day -10 below. After all the photos were taken. Dave's parents flew in from Saudi Arabia ,they are in the green outfits.We enjoyed the family dinner and program. Deanne performed the Rapper number, a song about Dave and Deah. She wore long black dread locks and blue jeans.Then The Operaic Cat number, where Dave's two Aunts sang "Meow", that was all the words, for ten minutes in different operaic tones.It was hilarious.It was depicting a cat fight between the bride and groom.Then Dave's ,Uncle John, a Master Violist for the Edmonton Synphony played two wonderful numbers on his Volin. After Dave and Deah cut the gorgeous four tier Wedding cake covered with white fondant, with hand blown sugar red lace flowers,which matched the table decor.After we had a fun time dancing. The two words mostly heard at all Weddings are "Chicken Dance" We all enjoyed dancing,till late in the evening. The Bride and Groom will be Honeymooning at Cancun, Mexico for a week.Then they will have another reception in Edmonton,Alberta when they return.
