Daylilies in Kelso

 Kemp picked some of the last blossoms from his daylily plants on the hillside behind his house.  They are still so beautiful.  The colors are so pure, and the blossoms huge.

And here's Bethany, blessed with a happy nature and a beautiful smile, willingly posing with some of the flowers.  Nice visit to Sonja, Kemp, Bethany, and Benjamin.

We Go to Idaho Falls for the After-Graduation Day

 Bethany and Benjamin - in Denton and Taylor's apartment.

 Sonja, who has risen to the occasion with every new challenge that comes her way.  Her children still go to her for advice - experience is the best teacher, and sometimes someone who has been there helps us avoid some mistakes.

 Denton and Taylor - the new graduates.  Taylor still will do her student teaching in the fall at Ammon, just a little south of Idaho Falls.  Denton began work today at his new job in Idaho Falls.  Big steps for these kids who are really no longer kids!  Congratulations!

Bethany - the chic college co-ed.  She is working this summer for the college at maintenance - earning some money will help school ambitions.  Fun and talented young woman.

Seeing grandchildren grow and become independent is very satisfying.  It is refreshing to be around these grandchildren,  who are going ahead with their lives with great optimism in the future.  We had a delightful day with them and their mother and younger brother.

Addendum

It's magic!  Seth opened the cupboard, set the timer on the camera, set it on some glasses, and we all said cheese at the same time.  I am dressed the best, but that doesn't matter.  We are so fortunate to have these grandchildren, and we wish the best for them.
