New Blog

Allan has been asked to work with the young men 12-18 in the Georgetown Ward. He has put together a new blog to communicate with the youth and parents. Check it out at: http://troop959.blogspot.com/

New Wise Pictures

Delcia and Allan have been working on a banner of the Wise Cousin's Reunion in Canyonville, Oregon next July and found several new pictures (new to us). The first picture is Ulysess Eldorius Wise (my dad's grandfather) and his dog. The second is Linnis Edwards, my dad's first cousin.

Family History Trip to Utah

We recently (3/6/09-3/15/09) took a trip to Utah. While there we saw the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform during their Sunday morning broadcast. We visited a lot of friends and family and went to the Salt Lake Temple and visitors center and the Family History Library. Al attended a Computerized Family History conference at BYU in Provo.

Happy Valentines Day

We are looking at 24 inches of snow our back yard. The storms just keep on coming. Every day I have to shovel my way to the wood shed and satellite dish. We are enjoying ourselves as long as everything works. Our self contained power and water systems have held up well during these storms.

A Look at 2008 (Christmas Newsletter)

Here’s what we look like this year. We retired from Wal*Mart in September and spent the next six weeks working on the Proposition 8 campaign to protect traditional marriage in California. Now that we are retired we’re looking around to figure out what’s next. We’re looking to sell our place so we put it on the market. Nothing but Lookey Lou’s so far. We’ve been looking after the grandkids on their frequent visits. We enjoy our service in the church where Delcia serves as the Stake Relief Society President and Allan serves as her assistant! and ward High Priest Group Leader.

Look at how Andy and Jenn’s Family is growing! Now they will be looking after baby Jordan as he was legally adopted in September. Look how cute these grandkids are! Allaura looks at her music when she plays the viola. Xander and Desi look forward to attending kindergarten every day at the school across from their home in Folsom, CA. And Jordan is just a good looker!

Jilyn is lookin’ good with her friend, Andrew Meyer.
They’ve got look-a-like shirts from the J. V. Bushman family
reunion at Manchester Beach, CA last July. She is currently
looking for a new job in Salem, Oregon where she lives.
Look out! Big things will be happening with this girl.

As we again celebrate our Savior’s birth,
we pray that God’s blessings will be upon you all year.

Love, Allan and Delcia

White Christmas

We had 14 inches of snow this week (Dec. 14). Fun!
