Early Saturday morning walk......

A Saturday morning stroll through our area. Love

the feel, smell, and tastes of fall. We explore by foot

all the unusual homes, store, and restaurants. Today

we found these adorable chairs hidden at the back

of a local eating establishment. Also, Darvin said,

"Make sure we get a picture of the pig statues for

Taylor. He'll like these!" If you are ever up this way

come walk the streets with us it is candy for the eye.

Transfer Days Come.........

Every six weeks, assignments change. Some of the

girls are sent outbound to various locations. Sister

Anderson from Sweden, was sent to Denver, Colo.

We also receive a new set of Sister to work with, but

oh, is it ever hard to say good-bye to the ones we

grew to love!

A SNOWY DAY.........

NEITHER SNOW, NOR SLEET, NOR

HAIL COULD STOP US FROM

HAVING LUNCH WITH DEE.

My favorite part was the appetizer.....

guacamole dip with hot chips and

various sauces.......Yum!

(by the way, that is snow on the bushes)

Mickey, Eli, & Ivy come for a visit..........

Ok, in my lifetime, I believe I shall never

receive a bigger surprize than this. Mickey

and the kids show up at the Beehive House to

surprize me for my birthday.

I just couldn't believe they were here. I had to

sort of pinch myself continually. We were so

entertained just watching the children play

with my silly gray scarf. The senior couple we

work with couldn't imagine that Mickey would

come all this way by himself with his two

children to visit for a day.

Birthday presents Utah style..........

My first pair of serious boots........

We are indeed preparing for

those long cold nights on

Temple Square.

Lunch with Dee

The weather was perfect for our lunch dates.......

and the area around Dee's school has the best

places to eat. One week we had orange chicken

at Pei Wei's and the next we had Italian

food at Spaghetti Mama's. They had this

apple cider vinegarette for their salad

dressing we especially loved. I believe I shall just

eat my way through Utah.

Jennifer, Travis, Trenton, & Trevor Visit....

We take the family for a few hours to the Olympic

Park in Park City, Utah. This is the 120 meter

ski jump in the background. Jennifer and Darvin

are going to do the bobsled together when they

come during the summer for a visit.

That is a ride of 6 G's force. I think I'll pass. I

noticed Travis didn't seem interested as well.

The weather was sunny and warm. The

conference city was still giving tours of their

unusual roof. It has a rather large garden on top.

Finally, no visit is complete without a trip to the

Deseret Book Store's candy department. We

have been here numerous times buying candy

for the Sister Missionaries.
