During our temple holiday we took a trip to the Twin Falls temple with Dennis and Helen. The temple endowment room has the most beautiful paintings of any temple. It shows the falls on the back wall and deer and antalope scenes on the side walls.
Next we made a visit to our old friend Meryle Teuscher. She is 98 years old and says she is staying alive just to take care of her 4 sheep with baby lambs. We have many fond memories of the good times with Meryle & Woody.
Next We checked on our Buhl orchard and found it has been abanded just like our Perry orchard. No one wants the work anymore.
We visited our old Clear Lake country club but too late for a round of golf. All of our grand children had a chance to golf there while we were club members.
We found a cafe with good Mexican food in Jerome and then went to the county fair in Burley. There we met our old friends Cal & Rayola Crane. The Crains replaced us in Nigeria on the West Africa mission.
Dennis showed us the best selling item at the fair and we came home with a half dozen maple bars.
The early peaches are ripe just in time for Paul and family to take on the bow hunt.

Grandpa! That pool party looked AWESOME!!! WOW- and that house! So fun! We loved the peaches Paul brought hunting- they were great! That letter about "My name is Nathan Baxter" reminded me of a letter we found in Book of Mormon that Grandma gave us to stick in our car. It means a lot to us. It was written with a typewritter and is about 5.5x4 inches in size. It states "Dear Friend
"We are happy to present you this book which was transulated through devine guidance. It tells the history of the early inhabitants of this American Continent during the period of about 600 BC to 400 AD and answers the statement found in the bible, St. John 10:16, when Christ said "and other sheep I have, which are not of this fold;then also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." For Christ appeared to these early Americans after his resurrection and dwelled with them and organized his church with 12 deciples. He gave them the power to baptise and instructed then in the manner in which they should perform the ordinance.
"We know this book is true and if you will read it with a sincere heart and prayerful intent, you may also gain a knowledge of its truthfulness.
"May you accept it as a gift and a token of our desire to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely John and Ione Baxter"
Awesome, just awesome.
