Robert and Emmy's Wedding!

Wow, what a party! The Bairds all gathered to celebrate Robert and Emmy's marriage. What a wonderful posterity. Louise made dresses for all the "Pink Angels". I think all of Provo came to wish them well. The kids especially enjoyed the dessert refreshments, including ice cream, sugar cookies, chocolate milk, mini cup cakes, cream puffs, cheese cake, fresh fruit, and tons of candy of every sort. I'll bet there were more than a few tummy aches that night.


It was especially fun to become better acquainted with Louise's darling grandchildren. Her quiver is full!
They were eager to have their pictures taken.


What a sweetheart!

A great send off for Robert and Emmy!

Our Patriotic Duty!

Our new refrigerator....a gift from President Bush!


I don't have to stand on my head to find something in the fridge.


The freezer compartment is in a drawer on the bottom of the refrigerator.

We have always had two refrigerators. A 30 plus year old one in the garage, that just kept running and running (kind of like the Energizer Bunny), and a Whirlpool in the kitchen with the freezer on top and the fresh food compartment on the bottom. I have had to practically stand on my head to find anything in the fresh food compartment!

When I first saw a refrigerator with the freezer in a drawer on the bottom I knew that someday I would like to have one. But, with the Barfuss philosophy being "wear something out before we replace it" I would probably never get my wish.

And then President Bush decided to send us all a bonus just for being good citizens so I decided that it was my patriotic duty to buy that new refrigerator and help the economy get back on it's feet. So now we have a new fridge! We not only got it free from the government, but we will get a $65.00 rebate for the delivery, a $20.00 rebate from the power company for buying an energy efficient refrigerator, and $30.00 from the power company for letting them come and pick up the old garage refrigerator for recycling! WOW! What a deal!
