32 Rich Years

Will & I were married Aug. 18, 1977 in the SLC Temple by James E. Faust.
Being married to Will has been rich with experiences and adventure.
He has taken me from the "Nut Cracker" @ BYU to Broadway Plays in NY.
"Left My Heart in San Francisco, Snorkeled in Hawaii, Climbed Mt Rainer, driven to the top of Pike's Peak. strolled through the Fall Leaves of Boston, golfed in Scotland, skied the Matterhorn, boated in Venice, viewed the beauty of Rome, ridden a camel in Egypt,
"Walked where Jesus Walked" in Galilee & Jerusalem, fished for Piranha on the Amazon,
Hiked the Christa's in Rio de Janeiro, toured Buckingham Palace, water skied Lake Mead, and 4 wheeled the Paiute Trails in Utah. When I met Will, I knew he was going places and I wanted to go with him.
We have had a good life together and been blessed with 5 wonderful children.
There is no one I would rather be with than Will. I look forward to many more rich years ahead.
I love you, Will, and thank you for the past 32 years!
We spent a leisurely day golfing in Midway. Will had the round of his life and I had a nice time touring the golf course!
We drove north of Kamas up to the pass before entering the Uinta Mts.

This is the head waters of the Provo River. It was a beautiful day to spend in a beautiful place.

Oak City Days

This is the headstone of Caroline Ely Partridge Lyman. She is my Great-Great-Grandmother and I was named after her. Jerry Finlinson, my cousin, includes me on his email list and keeps me informed about all the Finlinson Happenings. Here we are attending the "Echos from the Past" a part of the Oak City Celebration. The Descendants of 4 people who have been buried here, told their stories in the first person. I enjoyed hearing about these wonderful people who lived in Oak City. My Mother, Elizabeth Finlinson Foy was born here. She always loved telling me stories about her special relatives. Next year they want to spot light Caroline Ely Partridge Lyman and asked if I would tell her story. I feel so honored. I have a picture of Caroline Ely in my kitchen and look at in occasionally. I have oftened wondered if she will ask me what I have done with her name when we meet again.
