Stories of Hope

   Last Saturday was the last night I could have my booth for the Foundation at the Chukars game. I want to thank Kevin Greene, and all his staff for their help and hospitality. I also want to thank Fred Meyer for the opportunity of having my booth there twice this year. They are responsible…

   “There’s not going to be any cell phone service!” “We are going to run out of food!” “We’ll run out of gas!” “The price of gasoline will be $6.00 per gallon!” “Zombies are going to rise from the grave and attack us all!” These were predictions I had heard were going to happen due…

   I want to thank the Idaho Falls Arts Council for letting me have a booth at the Roaring Youth Jam. Their policy is that any Non-Profit organization can have a booth there for free. The only requirement is that you have something free for the kids to do. So, here is the test. Can…

   It was Tuesday morning when I received a text from my sister Patty. She said my nephew Quinn and his family were up from Arizona. They are all going to Lava and asked me if I wanted to come over. It sounded like fun, but my first thought was I would be interfering with…

   I hope everyone had a Happy and safe Fourth of July. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. I remember Shannon and I taking the boys to the Fourth of July celebration in Arimo. We had so much fun and those are memories I will always cherish.    My holiday started off…
