DID YOU KNOW . . . Here is an excerpt from Grandma Birdean's history:
When I was a small girl and we were living in Eureka, Dad and Mother liked to take an outing with all the children, and I remember one time they took us up Provo canyon.  It had been a long, hot ride for all of us so Dad stopped the Buick by the side of the river where the river was quite deep, got out of the car, walked to the river's edge and dove into the water, clothes and all.  His hat flew off and he cut his head on the sharp stones in the river bottom.  He was bleeding quite badly when he was able to get out of there, and I remember how white his face looked.  We were not able to get him down out of the canyon to a Dr. because Mother couldn't drive, so we just sat in the grass by the river until he got his bearings, and the wound had stopped bleeding.  He washed it off with cold water and it wasn't long before he said, "let's be on our way."  He
was a tough old bird.

DO YOU KNOW . . . who this is?


Here is a quick story for you.
DID YOU KNOW . . . that I took a shovel to the garden yesterday to see if the carrots I left in the ground last fall survived.  I couldn't figure out what all the odd size holes were that were up and down the row where the carrots were. . . until I dug and found nothing . . . then noticed deer droppings up and down the row.  Bon Apetite little deer.

DID YOU KNOW. . . that the following is a direct quote from Grandma Birdean's history?
"I have just recalled something that happened years ago when I was about 12 years old.  Grandma (Elvira) Fotheringham was living with our family.  She told us stories about the living and dead.  One night, she said she was wandering somewhere within heaven, just walking and looking around, when she came upon a house being built.  She stopped and asked some workman whose house it was.  He told her that William Fotheringham was building it for his wife.  It was made known to her that she had to remain on earth until the house was completed.
