Caldwell Lights Up

The City of Caldwell reached a new mile stone last Friday. We had a ribbon cutting to display the new interpretive center at the train depot. The depot has been restored to it's 1905 glory, complete with a replica ticket counter and interpretive center. It is amazing to sit back and watch many, many good people get together and all contribute to do something good for others. The City bought and placed close to 200,000 led lights along Indian Creek and in the Train Depot plaza. The Street Department made several displays out of scraps of materials and on their own time. It is truly amazing and beautiful. It is not temple square yet but we have a good start. When the trees grow another 10 feet, it will really be something. If you have not seen it yet, drive by and look with the kids. Just the City Christmas Tree is 50' tall.
Mom and Dad are doing well. We feel so blessed to have the children and grandchildren we do. We are proud of each of you in your efforts and are amazed at all our grandchildren do. We feel fortunate indeed.
We look forward to the Holidays and getting together again.
Most of you are aware that your dad and mom have felt the need to get together more often. We know how difficult this is but appreciate your response. For those who got to come to Grandma's party for her sister at the Peterson's, she was thrilled to be able to show off her family to her sister. Aunt Marie and Uncle Johnny are very special to your mom and dad. There were there with mom just after Mike passed away and were again theer to support me when I got to Salt Lake on the next flight. Difficult times in parents lives and they were there to support us.
We love you all....yes, Lisa when I go on line to try and figure out how to do this, I can get the simple things done especially if I stop to analize the screen. I suffer from impatience.....why would that be a surprise to the ones who know you best.
Ok, for those blogging, at least the girls, thank you so much. For the guys (that includes you Greg) drop a quick note.
