Larry and i went over to Lummi Island and had a great day. After a road tour of the island, we cleaned up the family plots for Grandma Thelma, Grandpa Matt, Uncles Doug, Uncle Stuart, Uncle Jerry,and Cousin Mallory. It was a wonderful day. Great idea Larry!
A few weeks ago I joined some of you on the island to celebrate Tanya's life. Linda, Susan, and I went to the cemetery and saw that Mom's bench was in poor condition. I now have it at home for a face lift. I will work on it over the winter and have it back in place by her birthday. It was great seeing you all. Love, Bruce
May your 4th of July be fun and safe. I can't celebrate a 4th without thinking of Auntie Heather Larson and how much fun she made the holiday. I can still see her dressed up in red white and blue from head to toe.

I took me several months of working on it a little bit at a time. I made the Nilsen coat of arms ring case which holds Grandpa and Grandma's wedding bands. It is now part of the Book of Nilsen.
