Tree Trimming

Laura had a super tall tree that was dying and rotting at the base.  She finally found someone to take care of it for her.  So, Sybil, Mom and I plus a few others showed up with chairs and drinks and sat in the parking lot and watched all the action.  The people driving by couldn't decide whether to watch the tree trimming or the doofus heads in the parking lot.  It was fascinating!

 The trimmers did all kinds of crazy, acrobatic maneuvers in the tree.

 We even saw a lion.

 It looks high enough here,  but...

 It looks even higher when you have the house in the picture for perspective.

 Now, that is what you call going out on a limb!

 And, the end result.

Double Rainbow

Last week we were lucky to see this in the sky.

Midway Again

Just one last round up of the photos from our trip to Midway.

We ate at the Dairy Keen.  This place seems like it has been in Heber forever.  I remember driving past it on our way to Vernal, but I don't remember stopping.

 This place, which is now a thrift store, was once a hospital.  It was also a nursing home somewhere in between, since this is where my grandmother Hasler was living when she passed away.

 Another house that looks similar to the ones my great, great, grandfather built.

 This is memorial hill. It has a road that winds around and around the hill until you finally reach the top.  It used to be a much more narrow road and not as well taken care of.   It used to be an adventure, now, not so much.

 It is a really cool memorial to all the soldiers from all the wars and conflicts.

 Views of Midway from the top of the hill.

Modern Midway Homes

 This home belonged to my mom's aunt, Florence.

 I remember going there as a child, since my great-grandmother lived with most of her daughters for a time in her later years.

 The above picture used to be a pasture.

This is my great grandmother's home, remodeled.

 At least it is still standing after some fashion.

 This small home belonged to the first wife of John Watkins.  She was a midwife and for whatever reason, didn't live in the big house with the other two wives.

 4 generations.
