What's missing?

Grandpa Taylor decided he needed to do a little demolition on the cellar, over the last couple of weeks.





The above photos were phase 1 and 2. Masks were worn to avoid contracting the haunta virus, or any other dangerous gases that might be lurking in the air.
Phase three brought out a little "pyromaniac" in them all.



Yes, you do see correctly, that is the back of Officer Miller. He mentioned that he had some photos of the first cellar fire.



On the way back into Rexburg, I decided that the sunset looked pretty, and that I needed a nice picture of the temple against such a beautiful background; you know my weakness for temples, and sunset photos. ( I think the cellar smoke aided in the beautiful sunset. You can see the haze on the valley floor below.) Here is the result.




I thought I had such an original idea. We had to laugh, as it was almost chaos, with people running around, trying to get a picture of the temple that night.

Goodbye to the cellar...that will be weird! I love the demo pictures and the reference to the first fire. I remember my part for the Primary Program after the rebuild was all about the ward members who donated time to help clean up and build a new one. That's a blast from the past!
Can I borrow one of those masks the next time Tyson goes on a road trip with us? Love ya, Ty!
Amazing photos of the temple.

Oh, excuse me. I apologize for the content of this comment but, I must let it slip out...we have been discussing "books never written" at our house lately. (Yes, we are classy) Here's one Tyson wishes he could stick his nose in:
"Something Smells" by I. Ben Pharting
And for all whole family:
"How to Dance" by Sheik Yerbouti

Tyson did laugh at the comments you made, but, he was a little embarassed by my post. So, I was forced to edit, and remove my prior reference to him. While he is a good sport, he apparently doesn't appreciate his mother's sense of humor.
