We have three lovely daughters, Louisa, Zina and Adah.

Louisa is creative writing graduate of Cornell University and is living in NYC working at NYU. She is working on several writing projects. She seems to relish her life in the Big Apple, enjoying all the art, film and culture and friends that one can steep in there.

Zina is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College. She spent 18 months after graduation serving as a missionary for our church in upstate NY. She is now living in Provo, UT and working at a local library, while considering what kind of graduate school program she wants to pursue.

Zina on the River

Adah is 16 and a sophmore in high school. She is interested in photography, filmmaking, sewing, boys basketball (she is the team manager) and hanging out with her friends. She will occasionaly accompany her old parents on backpacking or river trips, especially if she can bring along a friend.

Meisja is another 16 year old sophmore who lives with us. She has great interest in drama, sewing and horses. She and Lee often take off on their horses together. She also loves to go on those backpacking and river trips.

Besides the two legged kids, we have three dogs, Kane (now 12yrs old!), Maynard Dixon (Dix for short) and Andy, or Mr. Boo as he is often called. This gang of three accompany Lee and Joe on many a trail ride or hike in the mountains, as well as patrol our yard and keep it safe from any evil that may come our way. They are so brave when there is a fence....

Kane

Then there are the three horses, Blue, Tiki, both 20 year old Peruvian Paso geldings, and Brown Betty, a soon to be 5 year old gaited Morgan mare.

We have chickens that give us about 6 eggs a day. This year Lee raised some meat chickens and butchered them herself. They were very tasty.

Then there are the many cats. Yuki is the only one who is allowed inside. He is 17 years old and still quite a handsome fellow, although he seems to be a little hard of hearing.

We appreciate your support of our business because it supports our family. We thank you for buying our pottery, paintings and Mom's Stuff and hope that these things will make your lives better in a physical and spiritual way.

The three girls recently got togehter in NYC for a week. Adah stayed on a little longer, Zina had to get back for work and a Cataract Canyon river trip she did with Joe. She got to go as an assistant with him on the trip he was working for Tour West. Joe and Zina got back today and Joe will go up to SLC tonight to pick up Adah at the airport. They will get home late! Watch for photos here on this page of the girls in the Big Apple and the Cataract Canyon trip!
