End of September--End of Summer!!

How sad to think that Summer is almost over. It has been soooo good!! These last few days have been focused on the wind up of the activities of Summer time. We went out to the orchard & sorted pears.... brought some of the ones that didn't make shipping grade & bottled 32 quarts of pears. We still have a whole bunch of grapes to juice.







And what to do with bucketssss of tomatoes and 8 of these big guys!!!!!!

Merrill has been trying to get in a

few more rides before the snow flies.

To recap September......


At age 94 Uncle Claud joined the rest of Merrill's Aunts & Uncles on the other side. Left now is only Merrill's generation of Mangum descendents. It was good to see many of the cousins & families at the funeral of Aug 29th. It was another one of our one day trips to Salt Lake. It was a beautiful day.

Kent & Jill Jolley (cousins)



Austin & Linsey stopped by on their way to Rexburg so Lanae brought her new 'friend' over to visit for a few. (Deb too)





Look out food network...... we have a new star on the horizon!!!

Merrill gave a bread making demonstration for a Relief Society Enrichment night. About 35 sisters showed up for tastes & fun. Merrill made 4 batches of his whole wheat bread recipe. It makes 6 loaves each..... however he baked some in small loaves so there could be "take home" bread too..... It was a delightful night cause people think it is fun to party at the Bastians....


Speaking of parties.... one of Merrill's councilors is moving out of the ward so we had a 'good-bye' dinner for him & a 'welcome to the labor' to the new councilor/family night on the 21st.







We are grateful for family, friends, good health & happy happy days of Summer..... and I guess Autumn will be a great time too.......
