The Cooks

Hello Everyone! Uncle Fay and Aunt Linda have come and gone. We managed to get them out quite a bit. They toured Aurora Motors with Tyler as host, were very impressed with all they saw, got to see some of Dana's paintings that hang around town and a short visit with Dana and Julia as they shared his portfolio. Uncle Fay remembered that Dana worked in parts at Aurora ten years ago! He does have a remarkable memory.
Tyler took us in his Broussard to Denali Wilderness Lodge. That was a grand trip for all of us. Uncle Fay had not eaten very heartily and Linda is petite and doesn't eat much either. But we had breakfast at the lodge and he went back to refill his plate several times. We were very pleased to see his appetite enlivened. Later we toured Georgeson Botanical Gardens where I'm active with the Herb bed. Then he needed a nap and rested for a while. They took us to dinner at Gambardellas. We went to visit Tyler's family and stopped by my second cousin's house next door to Val Spencer's old home.
We did the Riverboat Saturday morning and they think it's the most wonderful experience for a tourist. Took them to the lake, stopping at Santa Claus House, the Extreme Makeover house, the Knotty Shop and had lunch at the cabin. Walked to Grandma's, visited for a hour, came back to town. He had a nap at the lake but seemed bushed back in town. This morning we put them on the train and hope their trip continues well.
I'm sure Dad will post some photos soon as he organizes them or figures how to do it. Now I'm planning to get busy on the house and yard and continue the fight to catch up! A new family in our ward needs some help moving in and cleaning their new abode! Seems like life never levels off to boredom!
Love, Mom,Grandma/Mormor
