Pa went to the top of Y Mountain this past Saturday. Here's the photos.
One view from the top of the "Y".
Seven views from the top.
Three views from the trail.
Come and listen to a story about a man named John
A soldier in the Land of the Morning Calm,
Then one day he was looking for some food,
When appears the prettiest woman that he ever viewed...
Soona that is. Yi Kwi Sun.
Well, that's the short version of how Ma & Pa met, as sung to the Beverly Hillbillies T.V. show theme. During our twenty plus years in the Army, we were blessed with seven children. The oldest graduated from High School while serving a third tour of duty in South Korea. He moved to New Hampshire and went to college. His girlfriend's family moved to Utah just prior to his leaving to be a missionary. Two years later, after completing his mission, they were sealed in the Mount Timpanogos temple and settled in Utah; they currently reside in Provo. Our oldest daughter chose to come to Provo to attend college, then like dominoes, all seven of our children, and our three daughters-in-law, were eventually living in Provo. This year, 2008, our grandchildren started coming. Isaiah in March, Lina in April, and our next grandson in December. So we packed-up our bags and we moved to Provo!
Coming from the state of New York, you first notice the Mountains. We live on the side of one called "Y" Mountain. Ever since we bought this house, we said we were going to climb this mountain. We went to the top of the "Y" last year (see the pictures above.) Yesterday, Pa finally went to the peak.
What's the difference between a Fenway Frank and a Yankee Hot Dog? You can still buy a Fenway Frank in October!
Ma put on the local Provo Red Sox party. Isaiah and Lina starting in the family tradition of their New England roots.
Still the prettiest flower of them all!
