Share a memory about going on a picnic.

When you go to Stan's place in Duchesne you will find two large pine trees planted in the upper yard. One by the well and one closer to the road by the old tree with the swing. I can still remember the 4th of July that we went up indian canyon and took the permit that Dad had acquired from the Forest Service and had a picnic. It was Mom's birthday and we were going to eat sandwiches and salad that mom had made and then go find dome small trees to transplant into the yard. We ate lunch and then went looking for just the right size trees. The two we found were probably only 8 to 10 inches tall and we took a five gallon bucket of dirt with the roots so that they wouldn't die while planting them into the yard. they some awfully small trees for a lot of years and finally started to grow to whee they are now very tall and beautiful. tan brought home 4 from the forest service a couple of years later that we planted at the bottom of the garden near where Grandma's house is now located. They were awful small for several years also and regardless of how well I watered them there was one of them that died. That was actually pretty good since the other three are now also very tall and beautiful.
