Summer of 2011

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.
