Louise, Colleen, her clan
In Aug of 2007 Loren and Colleen were able to take an Alaskan cruise with all of their children and their spouses. What an incredible week full of fishing, whale watching, sight seeing, eating, laughing, and of course shopping. After seeing Julia's picture we decided it must have been the year for family cruises. What a fun adventure!

Hmmmm
Boyd-Darrell-Gregg Johnson Gregg went on this trip with his brother Steven Fire. 

I went to Jamaica in search of the jade monkey. It was not to be found anywhere. My tears were not visible to anybody mostly because I was not crying. I had a bologna sandwich and pondered about the mysteries of invisible water...what was it called again? Vapors? I had forgotten the most basic facts of life...the most important being never tip your waiter if he is infact merely a fellow diner. I can only hope that the fellow patron had left their server a double tip...I hope my own food had not been spit in. The smell from the local diner left me gasping for air...in reality I had been under water and forgotten that I was not able to breathe without my portable fish gills that had been misplaced. Perhaps the jade monkey had taken them while I slept. After catching my breath I decided to retrace my steps in order to find my lost monkey. It was a most difficult task as I soon realized that someone had erased my steps that I had initially traced. What a rotten trick. I was out of chalk so tracing my steps again was not an option. The moon shimmied off the ocean. The word shimmied is most intriguing...well not really. I soon remembered that I had a plane to catch and had to return from whence I came. The monkey was in my head the whole time. Where could he have gone? Would he remember the times we never shared? I figured I should seek out answers from Wikipedia but I had forgotten my password for the internet. The monkey no doubt ate it without telling me. Now where was I to get a new password? Life can sure throw you some curveballs...or is it snowballs? I can never remember. If noone ever cared about the jade monkey then why should I? I am even starting to wonder if there ever was a jade monkey. My mind played tricks on me all night. I hate being used as a table for magic tricks, but my own cerebellum had a repertiore of tricks that continue to astound me if not leave me in stitches. Sometimes getting stitches can be painful. I found my jade monkey. He was in my glove compartment. Stupid jade monkey.
