I have been in Omaha and out of Omaha for the past few months. Kay works there so I
go 1-2 times a month.
Rachael- my daughter, me, Jenna, Seth and baby Chester aka Aaron.
Watching the game? or talking... Ethan #5 has a hard time concentrating when the camera is flashing..... an interesting dribble turned roll. Ah the life of a 6 year old basketball team player... Go team.

Janell (far right in the red dress) participated in a Young women's modesty fashion show at the church. She wore a dress we had someone make from 2 skirts and 1 immodest top.
Janell interviewed her great Aunt Vivian about life in a internment camp. Janell had to write about something in history and get a life story. Vivian was newly married and taught school at Topaz Japanese internment camp in Southern Utah for a few months while her husband waited for his assignment. After the 20 minute phone interview we taped, she said "that was so cool" even great Aunts are "cool" Vivian remembered lots of things, she lived in a barrack, ate in the mess hall, the children didn't have toys, she would buy cheap toys and give the toys to the children. A moment in history.
Vivian and Winnifred's sister LaPrele added: The thing I remember about Topaz was they wouldn't let us take ANY pictures inside the internment camp. We had to be outside the fence AND the photo had to be taken looking away from the camp. The water was "nasty" (probably highly chlorinated) so Vivian always had lemonade for us to drink. They lived in the same barracks as the Japanese people did. I've included an attachment of the picture taken in 1943 outside Topaz. Vivian & Elbert were married 4 Sep 1940.
