Exploring More of Our Beautiful Washington County, UT

Just when we thought we’d seen every nook and cranny in our beautiful red rock desert, we had the opportunity to explore the Arizona Strip even further … with 92-year-old geologist Bob Steed as our guide.  On an absolutely spectacular spring Saturday – with crystal-clear blue skies and comfortably cool temperatures – we found petroglyphs, fossils and fabulous scenery we'd never seen before but fit for several mystery trips!!!  And, there wasn’t a subdivision of new homes anywhere to be seen.

Flour and Snow Everywhere in Denver

It's such a joy to feel welcome in the homes of our children. I have been in Denver this week for Rotary meetings and was able to spend a couple of nights with our oldest son David, his darling wife Jan'L and their three boys Kaler, Kole and Kyle. We laughed, played Phase Ten and made master mix and cookie dough, then laughed some more when Kaler turned on the mixer as high as it would go while the butter was still frozen. The result was a shower of flour from one end of the kitchen to the other, making for another family story! After they dropped me at the Denver airport, Jan'L texted me, "thanks for coming. We enjoyed your visit. We will love every bite of the cookies and waffles, as well. Safe travels!"  David followed up with a text of his own, "thanks for time spent (with us).  We love you!"
