Okay, okay. I know it's been awhile since I posted anything. I guess life has been boring here. But finally, I have something new to post.


This past weekend, we made a quick trip to Fargo, ND, to go to Brandon Hendrickson's wedding reception. It was very nice, but the best part, as always, was being with family and friends. We stayed overnight with the Hendricksons and went to church in the Fargo 2nd Ward. When we lived there 25 years ago, there was only one ward, but now there are two wards and a student branch. There were only a couple of people we knew there, but that's okay. It was fun visiting our old haunts.


Here is a picture of the chapel. It's the building where Ben, Emily and Joanna were blessed. Janet went to YW in the room that used to be the nursery. It's where Joseph figured out that if he sat at the head of the table and ate his snack quickly, he'd get another one, because the teachers couldn't remember where they started passing them out. It's also the place where Joseph was a big hero with the boys in Primary when he was a Sunbeam because he could "Name That Tune" in one note. I think it was "Book of Mormon Stories".


After church, we drove around and showed Janet the married student housing where we lived. She was thrilled. :( But Rene and I enjoyed it. Here's a picture of the very apartment we lived in for 3 1/2 years, 264 E University Village. It looks exactly the same, just a little more run-down.


Sorry, Sarah and Janet. Since we moved when Joanna was three weeks old, this probably doesn't have much relevance to you. But we have happy, happy memories of living in Fargo, ND.

Wow, do those pictures ever bring back vague, ever-so-slightly out of focus memories, but good feelings!

I was just reminded of the bedroom Ben and I shared. I got the bed and he got the floor. (Probably so he wouldn't roll off the bed onto the floor)
