Evidently I placed my post as a comment to Chad & Jeanne's last letter. Hello! The only thing new this week is that Grammy is in Washington with the family attending Kris' wedding. According to Ellee she flew in on a seagull. We'll have to wait and see how she gets home on Sunday.

The highlight of Grammy and my week was the Cache County Fair. We watched the Israelsen grandchildren show their sheep, pigs, and cows. Julia received "Grand Champion" for her pig. Each of the kids placed at some point, including little James. Lynn ditched work and spent the day with us. He was soooo excited to see the animals, walk around, and of course eat!Friday night Grammy and I returned for the rodeo. Uncle Dale and Aunt Evelyn sat a few rows behind us. Rachel sat with us and then came home for a "sleepover." She is struggling with post-mission "now what do I do with myself." It was fun to have her with us.
This week has been busy getting Grammy ready to go to Washington. I finally finished an afaghan for Max. Luckily it's been too hot for him to have missed it much.
A few weeks ago, I fell asleep while watching a show about a family being sent to a Japaneese internment camp. In turn, I dreamt that Grandpa Bud came and told Grammy and I to hurry and pack a single bag, for we would be leaving in just a few minutes. I quickly packed clothes. Then realized I could probably do wash, so took some clothes out and added a couple of books and some science toys - never know when you might need those. After arriving to our destination (I never did figure that part out), I opened my bag. As I did, the thought came to me, "You didn't pack your family history, therefore you have nothing." I immediately woke-up and went to my computer and recommitted myself to researching our Allen/Renner line. I believe many are ready as I have found many names that have previously elluded me. I even found Grandma Renner as a five year old in the 1820 census.Sorry this was so long, but enjoyed sharing with you. We love you,Grammy and Aunt Kathy

Did you perhaps mean 1920 census? Grandma wasn't born until 1913...just checking you funny Aunt Kathy!! Your experience was very cool. Thanks for sharing!!
