35th Anniversary!!

 Happy 35th Anniversary, Dave!! We celebrated this year with our trip to St. George, Utah.  So many great memories, and more to come!

Julia's Baby Shower

 Andrea and Kara helped put on a baby shower for Julia's baby-to-be. Grayson.  Daniel and his family are also nearby to celebrate with us.

 Andrea was home from school for the semester, and Kara flew in, too!

     We enjoyed some games, like the team who created the best dress from toilet paper.

 Kara made the floral arrangement from diapers. :)

Andrea made a cute pic on her computer to decorate Grayson's new room. Congratulations, Julia and Matt!

Landscaping: New wall, and Patio resurface

   Spying on the mason, you can see he had to take all the stones off, set them to the side,

 regrade and put them back on the walk using polymer sand, 

which will keep them in place several years.

They built a nice stone wall along one side to keep the walkway stable and give a nice place for our garden.  Now, we just need to plant a garden!

St. George 2019

 This home of Jacob Hamblin, one of my favorite pioneer heroes, is a fun tour.

                                We also toured Brigham Young's Winter Home, behind us.

 The majectic St. Geoge temple built in 1877 is made of red sandstone painted white, which beautifully contrasts the surrounding red rock and blue sky.

                                             overlooking St. George on a windy day :)

                                      A drive up into Snow canyon had expansive views.

 The Tuachan outdoor amphitheater is an amazing setting with wonderful acoustics!

Thanks Mom, for some great tours, and yummy plant food meals, ancluding huge daily avacados!

                      I love Red Rock country!
