Sad Day

As most of you know by now, our Africa stuff arrived safely in the states. The tanner did not have room to store the horns, he shipped them to Utah, they were received on Jan. 23 in West Valley City. Early Jan. 28 there was a fire in West Valley at an auto body shop. The fire got out of hand and burned three businesses to the ground! Yes you guessed it. All of our stuff gone! Ron's 340 bull elk, gone! My very first deer, gone! I guess horns make nice tinder! What a blow! so far 2009 has not been the best of years! Our Jeep blew an engine, $2,000, Crystal's work did not take out enough taxes so they owed alot of money for that, and then the fire! Some would say at least we have the memories, that is true but it is still very sad. We were so looking for the trophy mounts.

    I'm so sorry! That is very sad. I have to agree with Leslie's comment though, at least you still have her and Brad and your great in-laws. And you still have all of us! So life can't be so bad, right?

    Ross told me about the fire and I am so sorry- I know you were both so excited to have the animals completed! I guess that you will have to return to the African Jungle sometime!

    Well I was waiting for a Birthday post but since it didn't happen I will wish Mike a belated birthday. Hope you had a great one. And sorry again about your animals, that just stinks big time.
