Home Again!

Well, after 8 weeks away from home I finally was able to leave my Dad's home in Albuquerque and come home on July 23, 2008.Things weren't quite the way they were when I left, but what do you expect when 2 twenty-something guys are maintaining the house. At least my cats were ok! I have included some pictures of some interesting things that reflect the "goings on" of this past summer.

Our family cabin in the Jemez Mts. in New Mexico. A real home away from home!


My brother-in-law's llamas on our ranch in Cheyenne, Wyo. They use them to pack in stuff for the guys annual "50 miler" hike into the Wind River Mts.



Matt's boys in front of "BIG Tire" at the Bingham Copper Mine in Utah. G'Pa Andersen was born on the side of this mine in 1925. These tires are on the big dump trucks that are used to haul the rocks they dig out from the side of the mountain. Each tire costs $25,000.



A July hail storm at the Jemez cabin. I was lucky and did not get any dents from the hail. It was marble size.

Missing?

Have I been missing? No, I've been in New Mexico since school got out. My Dad lives in Albuquerque and I have been here helping him get some of his health problems resolved. It has been interesting and I have appreciated the time he and I have gotten to spend with each other. One thing I like is the weather! It is MUCH cooler than Gilbert in the summer. Plus, there has been some cloudy and rainy days as well. We have been to the movies, out to eat at Wendy's many times, and up to the Jemez Mountains and stayed in my Dad's cabin. I will probably be heading back to Gilbert around the 20th. School starts for me Aug. 1. Adios!!
