How time flies!  We did finish our mission at the Mormon Handcart Site serving at Sixth Crossing.  We said good-bye to our dear missionary friends at the end of September, 2014 and we all went our separate way back to our homes.
Here are the last of us missionaries before we headed for home.
We stopped at Mindy & Spencer's on our way home & had a fun reunion with them.
When we arrived home, we were greeted with more grandkids, lots of balloons, & banners.
We didn't stay home long before we made a trip to Jill & Ben's and enjoyed seeing their family.  We even got to see Holdyn participate in barrel racing.



We were blessed to received a new grandbaby in November, Lydia June Grant.
                                                      We all think she's pretty special!
After the holiday's, we moved to our place in Quartzsite where we enjoyed the winter months.

Quartzsite in January with all the shops & swapmeets in full force.  Lots of campers stay in the desert surrounding the town.  We spent a few days at the Fountain of Youth in California & met up with our missionary friends, Floyd & Bev Anderson from Alberta, Canada.


                              We had some good 4-wheeler rides in the desert and visited a unique
                                                      place called Salvation Mountain            
             

 Back in Quartzsite, we went on a lot of Jeep rides and found old mines, cabins, and some rough trails.


                              Dripping Springs was a fun place to visit and see the petroglyphs.


  
 We took a day trip over to Yuma with our missionary friends, Jim & Deanna Plumhof and we visited the Yuma Territorial Prison & stopped by the US Mormon Battalion Monument.





That's a quick run down of some of our adventures.  More to come later.
