On Monday, we (Rich, James, and I) went to Grandma Vivian's funeral, then ate turkey dinner with her family, then took a little nap, then painted the front door red to match our dala horse.
Red door...
they weren't kidding when they named that paint "Red Geranium!"

Later, Rich took us out for pizza and root beer for dinner, and we took a drive to look at the fall colors and listen to MoTab on the cd player:
"For the beauty of the earth/ for the beauty of the skies/ for the love which from our birth/ over and around us lies/ Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise..."
We stopped at the cemetery to show the girls where Grandma Vivian is buried. It is not far from Grandma Adeline's grave.
After the cemetery, we looped around East River Road, Mill Creek, the ranch, and thn home.
Here is the Yellowstone River, looking west from East River Road near Pine Creek...BEAUTIFUL!
We saw dozens of deer grazing and resting on our drive.
Look how the pink mountains reflect on the river at the ranch!

Until...
Heidi had a meltdown on the way home (I took this picture over my head--that's her foot kicking while she howls from the backseat cuz she didn't get to stop and play in the tree house at the ranch). So it was a MOSTLY perfect day.

I'm sad to hear about Sister Elllison, but I know how much she missed her husband for all that time. What a beautiful reunion that must have been.
I can remember "Grandpa" Melvin Ellison - as an early Primary-aged boy, I remember him scooping me up at church and that singular laugh of his. I also remember when he died in the car accident - when "Grandma" Ellison found out, her first words were, "I wish I went with him" - talk about true love! I think she is estatic about her new adventure.
BTW - That is "RED!" Red, not "Red Geranium"
