READ THIS ONE LAST - "THE PROPERTY"

Dear Family:

More about our new property. I believe each of you have been past the site. It is about 270 North, and 10th East. I don’t have an exact street address, but it is located on Grand Avenue, right next to property occupied by Harrell’s, Fullmers, and Hutchison’s. We were very fortunate to find a vacant lot in that vicinity. If you haven’t yet guessed, it is a plot in the Salt Lake City Cemetery – plot I-20-9 to be exact. If necessary, you will find the deed in our files. In the accompanying photograph it is just to the right of the large monument. I hope it is a long time before we find out who gets the top bunk.

Read this one first

Dear Family:
With the current decline in the real estate market, Mom and I decided it was time we owned some land. We wish to announce the purchase of a piece of vacant property on the north bench of Salt Lake City. Located in the “Avenues” section of the city, it is just down the hill from the home of Larry Miller. Because property in that part of the city still costs about $850,000 an acre, we were limited to a rather small vacant lot in a well established neighborhood. We anticipate we will not reside there for some time. However, our residence will be two stories and will have concrete walls. I expect the interior design will be much more comfortable. Our domain will be environmentally friendly, and will have a green roof. See our next blog for more details.

Well rested, stomach full. Now for some action.

August learns about Halloween.

Cousins - Samuel and August

Samuel has lots of fun toys, but August is rather bored.

August, patiently sitting for grandpa to take his picture. All he really wants to do is eat, and all I am doing is causing delays. And finally - Grandma to the rescue.

Knudsen Reunion

I missed sending the group picture from the Knudsen Family Reunion, August 9, 2008 at Sugar House Park. How many of your relatives do you recognize? How many can you name? Who belongs with whom?

P.S. For what it's worth - I can name at least six.

An Update by Pops

Maya came over for a visit a few weeks ago. She and grandma shared a few jokes on our front lawn.

Samuel and I went for a climb on the rock slide. With my unstable legs I didn't think I should climb much on the rocks. Samuel, of course, felt otherwise. He kept telling me, "Come on, grandpa. You can do it. I'll help you."

We spent a September week at the cabin. Stacey and Samuel joined us for a day. At the bottom of our hill someone carved a tree stump into a man we named, "Tim Burr." Samuel thought it was neat.

Fall has come to the mountains. At Janna's suggestion, we went home from the cabin last week (10/1/08) after closing it for the season, over Guardsman's Pass. The colors were spectacular.

The next two pictures are out of sequence.

All it takes to settle a fussy child is the touch of a mother. Stacey rescued poor August from the revages of hungar.

We tended the two local grandsons a week or so ago. This is the result. All Samuel wanted to do was play and August would have no part of it. Although Samuel didn't even touch the baby, all he could say was, "I'm sorry, August."
