Keeping Busy/ Norma and Jerry visit

We are enjoying our fall season this year the leaves are just such beautiful colors- brighter than they have been in several years.  We did get lots of rain in August so I’m sure the moisture helped to intensify the colors this year.  I had to tidy things up and cleanup myself up for the day.  Norma and Jerry Gygi drove up to the lake for Craig to help Jerry complete his insurance application process.  We met them for lunch at the Bear trapper and then came to our home.  Norma had not been in our place since we first moved in the summer of 2012.  She enjoyed a tour of our home.  She complimented me on the decorating I’ve done.  It was nice to visit with them.  They are just next door in the summers months, we just don’t get to visit much with each other, we get stuck in our own family units keeping up with things. We did have a nice visit.  It was fun to hear stories of Craig’s mother LaVon and Norma growing up, they are 1st cousins.  Norma’s dad was Uncle Kenneth who was a brother to Lavon’s mother.  Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Bobby were Lavon’s favorite Aunt and Uncle growing up.  The three siblings Kenneth, Oralie and Uncle Arval all bought property in the 60’s here at Bear lake.  The three lots have been divided among their ancestors.  So we have cousins on the Biesinger side of the family on both sides of our place here at the lake.  It is a cousin reunion gathering place all summer long to enjoy. Norma and Jerry have been so good to our family over the years.  When our little Shannon was hurt so badly here at the lake in February1886 they watched our girls.  Sharlena, Trisha and Stacy was a baby. Our girls loved playing with their older girls Jennifer and Janea.  They were great babysitters.  So their family has been a big part of our lives over the years .  Craig has helped all their 5 children once they married and raising a family of their own with their health and life insurance.  Craig’s not making any money now - since he sold his health block of business - but very gracious to give service and care for his relatives.  It was a very nice visit.  They drove all the way up to meet with us and back down to the Salt lake valley.  After the left we went and played Pickelball for a couple of hours.  It was a lovely sunny fall afternoon.  I enjoyed our time outside.  I’m very sore from our long hike the day before.  It was a workout for me getting up that mountain and back down.  I can feel it all over.
