Josie's Bird Song

I thought I would share with you one of Josie's songs that she sang for us while we were in ND. She also sang God Bless America but we are having trouble downloading a file this large. Josie just turned seven on May 5TH. We think she is very talented!

Old Pictures

Well, just to keep the dialog alive, here are is a selection of old pictures I ran across the other day. I don't know where it was taken, but here are a couple of Gloria's grandkids, Kaisia and Cameron, with great-great grandma Orpha, and with Gloria and George.











Here is one of Gloria, Marlene, Jane, and me: I wonder how long ago that was and what the occasion was?










How about this birthday picture? It probably wasn't my 21st.








Shirley and I had a cart out at the Boise mall once upon a time: we sold Egyptian stuff. Some of it was kind of nice. As you may have guessed, we didn't make it into the 'big time'.




I'm not sure when this picture of Clark was taken. He can probably guess by looking at his truck.







And last but not least, we had two dogs, Smokie and Bandit, who slept in bunk beds. It was kind of odd, but as soon as I finished it and Shirley put cushions in it, Smokie jumped up into the top bunk and made it his home. Bandit felt much safer in the bottom bunk.

Lawrence Hagen - July 1994

I ripped a cassette of Lawrence (my Grandfather) to mp3. I have uploaded it to my website at http://www.hrradiant.com/hagen/Audio/

It's large (about 70MB), so right click on the link to the file (lawrence-hagen_july1994.mp3) and select "Save Target As" and save it to your computer. It will take approx 10-20 min to download if you have broadband internet.

The sound isn't the best, but it's as good as the cassette I have.

On the tape are John and Gayle Axness talking with Lawrence about various topics. Thank you to John and Gayle for making this cassette.

Garnet Township

I just scanned this page of the Divide County Atlas, ca.1909?. It's in bad shape, but still interesting. I had to shrink the file to post it, but if anyone wants a high resolution copy to print at full size, I will email it to them.

My New Friend

Thought I would post my new friend...This is Mr Piggo...but there are several others now who are eating out of my hand as well as several babies. Mr. Piggo now likes his tummy rubbed so if we ever get a picture of that I will post. He stands on his hind legs and when I rub his tommy he stretches up and spreads his toes...head back...really enjoying it to the fullest! Ha! God gave all these creatures such a sense of humor...they act up the minute I go outside and scare the wits out of me when I am in the garden!

Hi everyone,
This picture of cousin Cindy Garner and I was taken on July 1st in Maryland. She and Steve have been out east here for a few days, enrolling Prescott in the Naval Academy and sending Madison to Florence for three weeks. We called out to Oregon to talk to Kathy and Sherry, who had heart surgery on June 24 and who came home on July 1.
Today, I also talked to Aunt Eva in Tacoma, on this here 89th birthday (July 2). Otfried and I hope we can go out to visit here next year for her 90th. Would love to see some other cousins there as well. Let us know if you are coming. Perhaps we can plan a dinner out!
Andrea and Otfried
