Our last trip to California, we went to our old homes and the areas we grew up in. This first house is where Susan, Jerry and Rocky called home in Lakewood Calif. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, five people, dogs and many other types of animals. To know more, just ask those early residence.
Mitony Avenue, Whittier, Calif. home to the Howards. Mike, Don and Sherry grew up in this little beauty. After their Mom, Arminta, passed, the home was sold and the big trees out front were removed. Many days were spent with kids and grandchildren in this yard and neighborhood.
This fixer-up was our first home. Located on See Dr. Whittier, Calif. We started with two bedrooms, two children, one bathroom, lots of love and plans. We added two bedrooms, another bathroom, patio, fireplace, and three children here. This home started at 800 sq.ft. Finished at 1500 sq.ft. We sold it and moved to St. George Utah. Ethan our sixth child was born here, and we have made changes to our current home also. A story for another time.
One of our favorite places to get food was across the street, it is still there after 20 years, Stuft Pizza
The oil fields where Sherry used to ride their horses still has a few of the oil pumps working. A lot has changed around the Whittier,and Lakewood areas since we lived and grew up there. Hope you like the trip down memory lane...

Last Months Events
In May there was a solar eclipse, it was visible here in St. George. We built a solar camera from a cardboard box, and viewed the event with our neighbors. Ethan is showing the box and you can see the eclipse shown on the white paper in the bottom of the box.
We borrowed some solar glasses from the neighbors and what a sight. The shadows were strange while the eclipse was happening.
Memorial Day we went to be with Neil and Sara. They took us over to Boulder City and we went to the Veterans cemetery. Our Aunt Grace is buried there with her husband William. Corinne placed flowers and we enjoyed looking at all the flags.
We went out for lunch, Subway sandwiches, and had a picnic in a local park. Sara and Nora relaxing on the blanket. There are wild big horn sheep roaming the grounds, and this one posed for photos,just for the tourist. He stood there for twenty minutes. Thanks Sheep.
