Tracey's jigsaw puzzle "assignment"--in progress

Sister Embley comes in daily to see what is happening with the puzzle.


This one is getting close. The plain white and plain brown pieces are extra tough to place, but Tracey somehow finds the right pieces to fit together--just like we fit our family history puzzles together!

Sand storm as seen in our neighborhood

Wednesday, September 23, 2009--We tried to go running, but came back. We didn't know what we were experiencing until we turned on the news!


Pictures taken by the Larsens, our friends from Cache Valley. The color is exactly as we saw it. First thing when we got up, it was bright orange!

Spring flowers--SEPT 2009

On the way to the office


On the side of the family history building


In back of family history building (year-round plants)


In the neighborhood


At entrance to Australia Service Center (in car park)

An unusual (to us) bird

We see some of these long-beaked birds in the morning at the park.

Our new abode

We approach the house from the driveway on the side of the house.


Side view of the house shows the front porch. The driveway is to the left of this picture.


Front of the house


Front of the house from the street. There is a significant crawl space under the house. That, coupled with the sloping yard down to the street, makes the house look like it is taller than it really is.

"Lounge room," etc.

Our living room (lounge room, as it is called)


Lounge room--note Tracey's Koala puzzle in the works.


Another view of lounge room (study area included)


Opposite end of lounge room, where the special pictures don the wall.


Bathroom, from the hallway

Kitchen and bedrooms in our home

Our kitchen has pretty new white curtains. Washer and dryer are at other end.


Note the "pumpkin," sometimes called butternut pumpkin.


Master bedroom


Closets cover one entire wall in each bedroom. Closet doors are mirrors. One door is open so you can see the built-ins. We don't even need a dresser.


Tracey's bedroom--also has one full wall of closet and mirrors.

Our back yard

Back of our house from the back yard


Note the orange tree in our back yard--good oranges!


See my laundry! (I do have a dryer, but it vents in the house--not good!)


We run and walk around this park (on the "footpath"), about a block from our home, each morning. The park has several soccer/rugby fields.

Tracey's stuff

Tracey has finished her Koala puzzle--1000 pieces!


Tracey's shirt is a birthday gift from Sister McKnight, her special friend/senior missionary who finished her mission in February.

Third grandchild born while the three Broughs are in Sydney

We must move!

Now that we're gone...


Time to look for another flat.


The Larsens think they will just use the park bench!

Tracey at her desk

Note the birthday cards, carefully arranged!
