Happy Father's Day




At Dennis' request this year, no gifts, just labor!  We are putting in pool and quickly learning there are mountains to be moved, plants to be transplanted, rocks to be rearranged etc. etc.!?!  So, the family is giving their Dad as much time as they can for two Saturdays this month.  It was riot!!  Wasp stings, two shovels broken, a chair broken, a few cuts and bruises, at least a hundred popsicles consumed, but an amazing amount of work was accomplished!  Dennis was very very grateful after the first round!!  Thank you ALL!!  (and the kids gave him gifts anyway!)

40 YEARS!!!!!






FORTY, yes forty! years ago Dennis and Kathryn Peters were sealed for time and all eternity in the Los Angeles Temple.  We celebrated in California where we grew up, met, fell in love and started our life together.  We felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for the six children we have been given, their wonderful spouses, our amazing grandchildren and all our extended family, as well as, all those who we have loved as family throughout those years.  I love surprises!  Frankly, I usually figure them out long before they happen, but Friday night we picked up Telisa from the airport and she said Mike and Connie wanted to meet us for dinner which made perfect sense, so off we went to The Good Wood Restaurant" where much to my shock and amazement were all the rest of our kids!!  Way cool surprise!!  Loved it!!  Thank you kids, it meant the world to us, and thank you Dennis for a perfect four days!!!  I love you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
