After we left Hannagan Meadow we
decided that since we were half way to
Mom and Dad Shupe's, and it was Dad's
Birthday, that we would go and surprise
him for his birthday. St. Johns was right
on the way to Farmington, so we stopped
and picked up Marcia. I called Sylvia to let
her know we were coming and so she prepared
a wonderful birthday dinner and took it to Dad's.
Mom was gone to the Albuquerque Temple, but was
on her way home. It was a huge surprise for Dad
when Marcia, LaMar, Wes, and I showed up. Then
even a bigger surprise when Mom got home! It was
a wonderful visit!!! Dad is 83 years. The next day
we took Marcia back to St. Johns and headed home.
