I came across the first link today on designmom's blog- one I really like. I decided to just share all of the links since this is something many are probably familiar with. I don't remember hearing anything about atomic bomb testing until I was an adult. I think I talked to my dad Glendel about it some after there was a series about St. George on PBS (not sure the angle, but it talked about the Downwinders and dances and things). I'll have to see if I can find that on Youtube as well. No luck yet.

While searching I found this little history on "Utah's Dixie" not super high tech, but well done!

Just because Aunt  Cliveen posted this picture on Facebook, today I saved it and decided to put it on here because I commented about the Piano I never knew they had, but Tara remembers it. A post with a picture is better than one with no picture, right?  Great picture. I see a lot of my sister Lynette in Grandma Eardley's face, as well as Cliveen and Heather and Hollie- must be the eyes.
I love seeing pictures I've never seen in any album of my dad's. Speaking of which I really should go through my hard drive and see if I have pics scanned from his birthday party that I could share on here. Not sure where it is at though. I'll have to do some digital digging. And I really need to go through the pictures I took with my 110 camera growing up, and get them scanned. Perhaps a summer project?  That'd be fun. They aren't super, but they are memories!
