Family Home...38º

It has been our house for 44 years, officially next month...April of 1973, we moved from Duchesne, Utah to Joseph, Oregon, planning to stay from 2 to 7 years, before making the next move at the whim of the Forest Service...Luckily that never happened and over the years, our kids grew up, left home and now come back to visit us...We live in the same house, that we have remodeled, on the same acre of ground, now with more trees, shrubs and flowers and we call it home.

So for the next 5 days, 2 kids plus 1 granddaughter and 1 grand dog will fill the house with laughter, louder voices than usual (better for old folks to hear) and fragrant smells (sometimes smoke) from the kitchen, as we savor favorite foods, take trips down memory lane, play endless games of cards and if the weather cooperates, we will spend some time outside or maybe venture to Imnaha, where the weather is warmer and the fruit trees might be in bloom...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
