In lane 9 (top of the screen) with the red swim cap, we have Abbie Tyler, age 12 in one of her many swim heat's over the past 3 days. She took 5th, 4th, and 1st. She did the 50 free style, the 200 IM relay and several other heats. During each race she improved her time. Their were lots of participants and many races. Abbie held her own and made us all proud. Way to go Abbie!

Arches 2009
The 17th of March was Floyd and my 42nd wedding anniversary. We celebrated by going to Arches. We left on the 14th and returned on the 18th. It was wonderful. The weather was nice and we spent one night at Red Cliff Lodge, (The Redrock Canyonlands around Moab). This is where the first pioneers settled around the west before finally venturing into the Moab Valley just over 100 years ago. There is a small pioneer cemetery on the hill above the lodge, with three graves. The origional ranch was called "White Ranch". It is also the area where many movies were made, such as, the 1949 Wagon Master, Rio Grande, Border River, Taza, Son of Cochise, Thelma and Louise, and many more. John W ayne and Maureen O'Hara were two of the many actors.
Floyd and I took a lot of pictures. I took 243 pictures and Floyd took 379. I am not very good with the video part of my camera but here is a picture and a short video that I took.
