Mom's Hotel
Enjoyed visiting with my fun family this summer.
Many nights the beds, couches and foam pads
on the floor have held tired and exhausted sleeping
vacationing or ball playing family members. The family
from St. George stayed for nine days. One family from
Vernal has stayed several week ends. Kurt, the Texan,
has been in and out this year with his work. This last
trip Lynzie came with him for a visit. M&M from Vernal
will be here this Saturday for one night. Diane (Florida)
will be here at the first of the month. She is staying
at Jenae's. Clark (Florida) and family need to vacation
here this summer. It's been way too long since we have seen them.
(Clark and Dee, we'll leave the light on for you.)
Family Fun Times
Kids say the darnedest things and it has been a
delightful, eye-opening experience to know what they
are thinking and to get to know them better.
We've watched volleyball, softball and baseball games.
We've played Go Fish, Blink,and Hide the Thimble.
We've enjoyed two original, fabulous skits, and
singing and dancing performances on the picnic table.
There has been delightful piano concerts.
Gentle loving care of Snickers, the cat.
Visiting neighbors and my mother's sister, Aunt Mable.
We've pumped up the old, pink bike's tires and Lynzie's
enjoyed some exercise and cooling off by riding through
the sprinkler. We've seen and heard fireworks.
Lynzie, Kurt and I enjoyed the annual 24th breakfast
in the church parking lot. Tom and Kurt are experts at
outdoor grilling. They have secret potions for marinating
meats and vegetables. It's a delicious meal when they
get their grills fired up. Of course, when anyone
comes to town, the evening meal is enjoyed with
grandpa anywhere, anyone has a hankering to eat.
Other than celebrating the 4th in Torrey
and traveling up the canyon to the beautiful
Heber Valley for Raw Milk on Thursdays,
I've enjoyed a "Staycation".
Many hours have been spent in the garden.
I've visited more doctors than I ever have
while trying to find out what we can do about
Lowry's health problems.
I've attended classes and tried to develop more
skills in becoming self reliant.
A view of the Open Air Market.
Tents are set up from the Chuck Wagon
Store to the old school house.
Three antique treasures
found on the 4th.
