August 2025

August was eventful. Mark, Kris's brother, and Anne were married so some of the Boyntons were in town. Cousin Chris Christensen came to Utah and joined us for Cousins Breakfast. Nancy Ostergar turned 80 and held a retrospective of all her art. The HI Taylors came to Provo for a wedding, as did Debra Sue Darling Gibbs (for a different wedding). The Hastings came town in batches, and some of us went to Vernal for Evy's birthday. We had an impromptu family dinner while the Hastings were here. And after years of carpenter ants and rot, the cabin was demolished - sigh.
