Hot Summer Night



Concert # 2 on our Summer Concert Tour! Kenny Chesney was HOT! So was the weather. It had to have been 110 degrees on that arena floor with not a hint of a breeze. But the beer was flowing (at an outrageous price of $9 per beer) The music was awesome. Kenny was awesome and my date was awesome. We had a really great time.

Catch Up Time

Our visit with Dad and Barb was relaxing and Hectic.



Dad enjoyed the days to catch up on his reading and seemed to be happy to let Barb and I go our own way.



...So we took advantage of the opportunity to go and have pedicures.
See our pretty toes!



Wednesday night we all went to see Zach and Cam play T-Ball and then to Mooney's house for a Pizza Party.





On Thursday morning we were visited by a hummingbird in the house. Poor little guy was overcome by the dust webs in the brick wall. (Guess I better get to dusting)



We finished Thursday off with dinner at The Melting Pot.

Friday was Park City with Jake, Jen, Shea and Seth.
Looks like dad is holding Barb and Shea back from trying to climb on
the moose.



Followed by a quick stop to see Bryan, Annalisa, Sadie, Max and Brex

I finished off this week golfing with Zach and Cam. What a hoot. Just image Cam loose on a golf course with a club and a ball. YUP! It was wild.



Friday night was George Strait in Concert with my Gaer Bear. Too good for words.



What a whirlwind the past 10 days have been.
It just doesn't get any better than good times with the people you love!

Memorial Day ... 1983

I've felt a sense of uneasiness the last week or so. It usually happens this time of year around the anniversary of the Rudd Mudslide in Farmington.


This is a picture of where my house once stood. That's my bathtub in the foreground.

At approx. 7:00 PM on Monday, May 30, 1983 Memorial Day our lives were changed forever as a mudslide roared down Rudd Canyon above our home in Farmington. In all 7 homes were destroyed and about 200 people evacuated. Our home was in direct path of the slide and totally destroyed by the power of nature. Amazingly no one was hurt. We ran along with most of our neighbors fleeing what we had no idea was coming. Everyone was running from the enormous rumbling noise. I ran with 4 year old Bryan on my hip and 10 year old Jake by my side. Susan was at a neighbors house so her dad went to get her. We were all reunited and evacuate to Bountiful at Grandma Jane's house. I still hear the deafening roar and grinding, sirens make me uneasy because those were the sounds of the night.

As with all tragedies, amazing things came out of this experience. The wholehearted goodness of people is unbelievable in crises situations. We saw such an outpouring of love, concern and caring in the days, weeks and months following the mudslide. Life is all about changes and change is a good thing.

Give those you love a hug tonight and remember that they are what is really important in our lives. My hugs go out to all of you. I love you.

This was the only picture I could find of the mudslide. Does anyone have any you could send me?
