Allen's BIRTHDAY today

 Today is my husband Allen's birthday #78. He's just a youngster but much appreciated after 28 soon 29 years of marriage. He's had a full life being raised in Gatesville Texas then after attending University of Texas-Austin and graduating in Civil Engineering, he worked for the Forest Service all over. I helped him write his life story and gathered all these photos. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

New CALLING-Relief Society HISTORIAN

Working diligently to gather HISTORICAL information on our SUNRIVER BRANCH's history to put together two BULLETIN BOARDS for the church. It all began in 2000 when a Branch was created and a Branch President called in the new Sunriver development. A year later a ground breaking was held to BUILD A CHAPEL in our community. During the meantime we met in a neighboring Bloomington Hills building until our new chapel was BUILT AND DEDICATED on Sept 11, 2002. Now this year we will be celebrating its 20th anniversary! Fun but lots of WORK!

From yearly histories & old photos I reconstructed our branch history

Getting to Know You will introduce our RS leaders with short bio.

April Field Trip


Took a 15 minute car trip to a nearby new historical park and loved taking photos of the HELA SEEGMILLER FARM. See https://www.sgcity.org/cityparks/helaseegmillerhistoricalfarm 

Lots of old farm equipment to see

Love old wagons, they have built a barn too for picnicking

Farm animals to see: donkeys, cows, horses, goats and chickens

Pioneer rock house and fun sculpture of two boys

Some more modern farm equipment that used engines

Love the old fashioned wagons and rebuilt barn for picnics

It's a goat that could be milked for goat's milk

None of the buildings are opened just to look at

A billy goat you don't want to try to milk him...

Nice picnic area  or family reunion has bbq and restrooms
