| That's my sophomore geometry teacher Eva Whitehead, hard at work yesterday afternoon on her beautiful place about a mile north of us. |
Emma is up and about to eat her first breakfast at the Lovestead.
We had a delightful evening last night after I picked her up from tennis.
We went to the Colburn house to get her overnighter supplies, then came home to all the welcoming animals and to Bill, who was fixing Wood's German sausage, ribs and chicken breasts on the deck.
Twas the first barbecue for this year and mighty tasty.
We thoroughly enjoyed dinner conversation which focused on the difference between German schools and American schools.
Emma says she's going to miss Sandpoint High when she leaves this summer.
After dinner, while text exchanges were occurring between the Los Angeles Angels/New York Yankee game in LA and the Lovestead, Emma kept the dogs on the run with the Chuck-it ball.
Twas an enjoyable first day of for these host grandparents, and we're looking forward to more enjoyment with our guest.
Thursday Throwback Photos

| Jade, that lady with the look of wonderment next to dear Justine and Princess Grace, turned 17 today. Jade is the "fourth triplet." We happily consider her a member of the family. She's also a member of the Coeur d'Alene tribe, so I included some colorful powwow photos in her honor today. Happy Birthday, Jade, from your fans at the Lovestead. Oh, by the way, that's "Precious Annie" on the left wearing the "Girls Can Do Anything" shirt. |
This was a while back during the good ol' days of 4-H. The animal was Jon Berger's 4-H project, I believe, and he was demonstrating how to properly show a beef animal.
Betty Berger, his mom; my sister Barbara, Wanda Jones, my sister Laurie and mother, Virginia Tibbs and little brother Jim.

| Levi and Jacob had a nice bond. |

| Several years ago, my mother and I teamed up for an author/artist program at Washington School. She created this artwork as a theme for our presentation. She also did the painting below and did not like it enough to sign it AND she gave it to me. Whether or not she liked it, I treasure it. |

| Mother and Catherine Racicot always rode matched pairs in the Fourth of July parade and in horse shows. This was taken on Lake Street on the south side of what is now the Sandpoint Events Center, then, Sandpoint Junior High School. Their horses, Largo and Danny, were a father-daughter pair. |
 |
| Brother Jim and sister Laurie. |
 |
| Also considered a member of our gradually extending family is horse trainer Monty Collison. We were enjoying a family barbecue in honor of our mother who had passed away. |
 |
| For some, it was off to the Lodgepole Tree, which was still standing at the time. |
 |
| I like this photo of my sister-in-law Mary and her two daughters, Laura and Maureen. |

Finally for horse lovers: a fun story which I read this morning:
