Mixed weekend

Seems the only time we get together  with family is for funerals and weddings. Thank goodness this was  a wedding. Chase Jefferey Murphy married Jazmyn Stokes on May 2, 2014. Is it just me, or are my sisters looking a lot older?  In my head I still look like my niece, Kimberly on the right. In the mirror, I look like Diane, Jana, and Raelene.
Mother of the groom with the happy couple. Congratulations Karen, you now have a daughter!
Charlie and I stayed at Dad's house for a couple of days. It was sooooo quiet!!  No TV service, but still lights and water.  The freezer in the garage was just humming away and sucking electricity, so I asked Dad if I could shut it down and thaw it out. He was hestitant because "Your Mother spent so many hours putting up all that juice to make jam later when she was feeling better." And that was 3 years ago. I was pretty sure the juice is pretty bad and potentially dangerous by now. He agreed and so.....I hauled in 105 bottles of frozen juice, let it sit all night to thaw out, and down the drain it went.  Anybody want a freezer and 105 bottles?
I emptied the refrigerator in the house as well.  No sense running that either with no one there and no food to keep cold. The side of the refrigerator hasn't been touched since before Mom died. Had to take a picture.
Saturday found us up at Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake to watch the BYU/Cal State Rugby game for the National Championship Trophy.  Unseasonably warm (80's) and sunny with a brisk wind.

Number 9 is Luke Mocke, nephew-in-law extraordinaire! Anna was so excited when he made a try.  Danny Hubert was still nursing a bum leg so didn't play. Yvonne says he will have surgery next week so he can heal up for next year.
So fun (notice Wayne and Yvonne) to be with family supporting family. Also there were Rachel, Anna, Keith, and Jaren. (And Kayla Overfelt who is Danny's best friend, wink, wink.)
Oh yeah, BYU took the trophy AGAIN!
