I misplaced this journal so I haven't been able to write in it. Since I last wrote we have had a Willis Reunion. Roger, Geneva Horne and Rhonda Smith were in charge of it It was really a nice affair. It was held at the school down here and my family was all there except Jim, Shanna, and Rick Aceves (he is assistant manager at the Bayless store in Lakeside so was unable to make it.)
We pitched horseshoes, had races, had some "Dummer Olympic Games", had a program and of course lots of good food. Geneva had a book printed about Clad and Eva Willis and their family. It really is a nice book.
We have spent most of the summer in the valley helping Loye. But since he is about through I didn't go back down with him.
Well Jared and Denise wants to postpone it as she has some more thinking to do. I think Jared was pretty upset about it I sure hope things work out for them We have really been impressed with her, and I would feel real bad if they don't get together It's too bad she don't realize what a good person Jared is.
Loye isn't here and I really miss him when he is gone.
Josh went back to the valley with Randy and Kay.
It's funny how kids never know until they get children of their own what an overwhelming responsibility it is to raise them, and I really never realized it until now.
The Olympics from Los Angeles are on and it is really interesting to watch all of these great athletes perform. U.S.A has already won a bunch of Gold Medals.

We are still in the valley finishing these apartments. I am going to finish my cleaning this week and then I'm going home to satay. I guess we really pulled a boo-boo by hiring some Mexican ladies to help us clean. Larry Richardson (the general Manager for N.K. Lewis) hasn't paid us yet so we haven't paid the ladies so they went to the labor commission and they are after Larry and Norman Lewis. I sure wish some times you could turn back time and re-do some of the mistakes we make.
Even though I feel depressed tonight we did have a good time over the weekend. Don and Judy's family sponsored the Roger's Family Reunion at Los Burros (up above Vernon) this year. It was really nice, the area up there was just beautiful, and Don, Judy and family really had things set up nice. They had everything so organized, Rion and Bonnie were there to do their part and Scott and Kendra (who plan to get married Aug. 23) were really a big help. Eric and Robbie also really helped. Becky and Gene who are living in Louisiana were unable to be there as they plan to come to Scott's wedding in August.
This year they made a plaque for the winners of the horseshoe pitching tournament. Rion made it and it's a traveling trophy whoever wins it gets to keep it until the next year when they have to give it up to whoever wins it next year. Well this year Loye and I won it. Rion took it to have our names engraved on ti. They also played volleyball and since this is the year of the "Summer Olympics" in Los Angeles we had the "Dummer Olympics at Los Burros". Everyone participated and all had a good time. Even Mom seemed to enjoy herself.
Some of my family was there, of course Jim and Shanna couldn't make it. Mark was working graveyard so him and Liza didn't go, we took Candon and Rikki with us. The rest of us had a good time.
Jared told us Sunday that he is going to marry Denise McCray Caldwell. She has been married before and has a little boy called J.J. We think Jared has made a good choice because her family seems to be good people and Jared seems to be so happy with her. She went up to the reunion with Jared and she seems to have a good time They haven't set a date yet.
Jared wants to buy our house and we told him we would sell to him. We would build a new house up on the corner, up on the hill. Loye has always wanted to build there.
We are back in the valley, hopefully this week we will get through, but who knows?
Rikki came down with us, so each day we take her over to St Joseph's for her radiation treatment.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July so I guess we will go to a movie or maybe some fireworks if we can find them.
