I enjoyed an afternoon driving around Cheyenne. I always visit the graves a few others places that hold special memories for me. So many times I went to the graves with Dad, Mom and Grandma Federer. We placed a lot of plastic flowers on them, (no silk back then) to remember our loved ones.
My Mom's family ~ Mom will probably be buried here, there's one plot left.
Mom's Uncle, Tim did his temple work a few months ago.
Mom's Grandpa on her Dad's side.
and her Grandmother on her Dad's side.
Grandma Ames, Mom's Mom. Grandma Ames worked hard all her life, she was an expert seamstress. She loved flowers, especially geraniums. I have geranium wallpaper in my laundry room in honor of her!
Mom's Dad, I remember he was sick a lot.
Mom's childhood home just off Logan Avenue. I have many happy memories of playing with my cousins from Arkansas here every summer.
My brother Les and I would would walk to this store with my cousins to get candy. It wasn't called The Eclectic Elephant back then!
My Mom's sister ~ I loved Aunt Jeanne. She never married, she was kind and generous. I always got a card and phone call from her on my birthday.
My baby brother, he only lived a few hours.
My Great Aunt Mabel and her husband, Grandma Federer's sister.
This is Aunt Mabel's home on Logan Avenue. I have NEVER seen such an immaculate home. It was always so darn clean, nothing was ever out of place. It made me nervous to go there! She had a collection of miniature porcelain animals that I loved. I especially liked the little dachshunds... weiner dogs!
Our hero, Uncle Marion ~ Dad's brother that was killed in World War II.
Grandma and Grandpa Federer ~ love them so much!
This was the church that our family attended. It was sold and it's being renovated. It will be a mortuary. Conveniently the cemetery is right across the street.
Attending this church with my family was a great foundation for me, the beginning of my faith.
The newest LDS Chapel in Cheyenne on Four Mile Road, it's gorgeous.
This was our first home after Tim and I were married on Red Fox Road. Chris' nursery was where the bigger window is at the back of the house. Tim built this home while he was attending law school. He planted all those trees , look how big they are!
Our home on 6th Avenue, we lived here before we moved to Utah.
This is my girl, Heidi-Ho! Heidi is my niece, I tended her a lot when she was a little girl. I love her so much. We had dinner and a wonderful visit Thursday night.
I didn't get pictures but I also got to see my nieces Holley and Julie. I also saw our dear fiends, Richard and Judy Brown.
I tell you what, it was so windy in Cheyenne. Every time I got out the car I felt like I needed to hang on to something for dear life. There's NO air pollution in Cheyenne. No amount of hairspray can save your hairdo.
There was still a lot of snow at Elk Mountain.
Nothing prettier than the Wyoming skies!
I had a good trip to Cheyenne, so happy I could see friends and family. Some people wonder why I drive there alone but I always have a guardian angel with me, my Dad.
I was excited I got to see "God's car" on the way home. I have wondered what it looked like!!
Thanks for letting me go on this trip Tim. Good to go but even better to get back home.
