Father's Day - 2012

Happy Father's Day - Walt and our 4 sons and 3 sons-in-law...

Here's what the Father's Day gift are...
   From his children--the Willow Tree Grandfather...

From his sweetheart - eternal companion: Old Spice, a lavender tie, a painting of the national bird painted on feathers, and a DVD of the life of the Prophet George Albert Smith (which we watched Sunday night--it is great).  Also treats of Sweitzer's black licorice nibs, Milk Duds, and a Mounds (can't find those three candies here).
   And for breakfast homemade biscuits.

This morning he shined his shoes....
     Steve has spoken for his shoe shine kit.  Walt bought it in Moscow, Idaho, in 1952 his first year at the University of Idaho.  He was commenting this morning that it's been a lot of places with him:
UofI, Boise Jr. College, first mission to Uruguay-Paraguay 1954 to 1957, to BYU for 1 quarter, back to University of Idaho where he changed from engineering major to pre-med, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo.; Minneapolis, MN for internship; to Talihina, Oklahoma for 2-years in the U.S. Public Health Service at an Indian Hospital there, to Burley, Idaho; to the Yucatan Peninsula-Mexico Merida Mission as a mission president 1995-1998; to the whole of Central America--7 countries, living in Guatemala City 2005-2007 on a medical mission; to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay on another medical mission 2008 to 2010; and now to the San Salvador El Salvador Temple 2011 to 2014....and in between to Wendell, Idaho and Burley, Idaho....
     We're off to take our 4 Sr. Temple Missionary couples grocery shopping on their and our P-Day...
               Thank you to all our kids and grandkids for the wonderful "Grandfather" Willow Tree from Grampa Petersen. 
      We're so happy you were together on June 15-16.
