Merry Christmas

Wishing you a Joyous Christmas! May you find peace, love, and comfort through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We love this time of year because we get to remember the Savior and his birth. We are grateful for his sacrific and love.
We wish you lots of wonderful memories with the ones you love! We hope to have a quiet and memorable time this Christmas. Mike and I still enjoy getting up with the kids and watching them open presents and see what surprise Santa brings. Of course this year, Mike says that he is sleeping in until noon and the kids are not allowed to wake him up before that. HA HA like that is going to work with two kids and four dogs. The dogs usually have him up by 6:00. We will keep you posted if his wish comes true.
May God Bless you today and in the coming year! We love you all!!!

Jessica's a Freshman

Jessica is in High School!!!! Yes, she is a Freshman!! She is starting to like her schedule and has only one more change to make. She wants to do power walking for pe. I think she will like that. We love her and wish her happiness throughout her years at the high school.

Wisdom teeth

POOR JOSH!!!
He had his wisdom teeth out this past month. Yay, it didn't affect his smarts any (HEEHEE)! He was VERY honery after he came home:(
He is doing excellent now and his recovery was fast. Hopefully, we will have no more surgeries for him for a LONG time.

TIME FLIES

NEW MARSHAL IN TOWN (Ely, Nv)

Keith Anderson (Reba's Brother) Grand Marshal

Keith Anderson named the July 4 Parade Grand Marshal


By Bunny Hill
Great Basin Service Club

The Great Basin Service Club is proud to announce long time resident Keith Anderson as the 2010 4th of July Grand Marshal. Keith was born in Fort Riley Kansas and later moved to Ely with his parents and siblings at the age of 5. He attended the Murry Street School, the old Ely Grade School and graduated from White Pine High School in 1975. Keith left Ely for a few short years to attend Snow College and graduated in 1981 with an Associated in Applied Science Degree.

Returning after graduation to Ely in 1981 Keith not only worked in the family business, Anderson's Foodtown, but he also became active in the community. He is the father of 4 children, 3 sons and 1 daughter and the grandfather of one. While raising his children he became very actively involved in many of their interests.

Keith is a true advocate for the youth of this community. He has enjoyed 25 years coaching White Pine Little League along with 10 years serving on the Little League Board of Directors. For the past 19 years he has been a 4-H leader, many times leading more than one project area. During 15 of those years he has also been the chairman of the Fairgrounds Improvement Committee and Livestock Committee Chairman for 2 years. He has served as the Merchant Bureau Chairman and was a member for 10 years. He is a 20 year member of the White Pine Chamber of Commerce, serving 5 years on the executive board and 1 year as President of the Chamber.

For the past 24 consecutive years he has been a member of the National Pony Express Association/Schellbourne Re-Riders. He participates yearly during the re-ride. He helps bring the history and excitement of the Pony Express into the White Pine County Schools each year. This is the 150th Anniversary of the Pony Express and Keith was instrumental in insuring the elementary children received letters that had been carried by the Pony Express Riders.

Hunting, hiking, motorcycling, horseback riding and camping in the mountain have always been significant parts of his life. Keith feels blessed to have had the opportunities to develop the great relationships with our youth that he has.

Even with his own children out of these programs Keith has remained active with them. When asked "why?" his response was "I consider them all my kids. I love this county, its people, and the mountains. This is where I grew up. This is where I raised my family, gained friends. The memories I have of this place run deep. It's my home!"

The Great Basin Service Club is proud to have such a dedicated person as Keith Anderson be our 2010 4th of July Grand Marshal.

Summer Vacation

Yay, it is that time of year when I get to have some needed R & R. :)
Jessica is planning to go to Grandpa and Grandma's in Ely for a couple of weeks. I will miss her and have to call her about 20 times a day. I have been doing some house cleaning and playing on facebook. I know this summer will go by very fast. We are going to Ely for the 4th of July and watch Keith in the parade. He was asked to be Grand Marshall this year. We are very happy and excited for him.

Vacation is over

Darn! I wish vacation could be longer. Actually, I really liked being back to school. I missed the kids! It was also a great break from my own kids fighting. Yes, towards the end they really needed to be away from each other. Tonight they are not fighting.
