Our Trip to the News Room

Last week Kristian invited us to come see where he works now.

So we were excited to check it out.

Pretty Impressive.

We were able to watch Channel 5 News @ 5:00 PM - LIVE!!

Afterward Kristain took some funs shots of us on the set.

After my camera shoot I was able to interview a surprise visitor,

 ODLAND THE BARBARIAN.

 

Then Kristain gave a tour around the studio

and met the people at KSL.

They were all so nice. . . a very fun time!!!

2013 Heber Valley Quilt Guild RETREAT

Another fun retreat.  Sheila and I joined in with the gals from Midway/Heber City

 and had a fun time at the Homestead Resort.

We arrived ready to sew into the night for 2 days.  We checked into our room,

which was called the Ranch House.  It was very cozy.

We got started and had lots of room to spread out our stash.  Beth, our President, made some very cute favors.  The theme was "Give a Hoot".  

It was 2 days of Fun Friends and Good Food.

Of course we did some serious sewing.  

We did learn to make some really cute Owl Pin Cushions.  There was a pin cushion exchange so everyone went home with a new pic cushion to all to our collection.

We took a couple of breaks to get some fresh air and to get the blood circulating.

A few stretches had to be done too.

and . . .  we couldn't leave until we did our traditional "PLANK"!!

GOOD TIMES . .. ALWAY FUN TO BE WITH MY WONDERFUL FRIEND

SHEILA!!!!!

From Ellie

I LOVE THIS!!!

Another Birthday . . 39++++++++++++++++

My loving husband threw me a very fun party . . for my birthday.  He really wanted to make it fun and painless.  Here is the Invitation -

It was such a fun day . . . Good friends and family were there.  (I really missed Tracy and Ellie (in California) and Deb and Ray (in Oregon).

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner and celebrating.  What a fun evening.

My sister Debbie and Ray sent me some beautiful flowers.

Maxine and Julie brought balloons. 

What a GREAT PARTY!!!!!

Tim, you sure made it a wonderful night to remember!!!

THANKS HONEY . . . You are the BEST!!

It Was A Good Ride While it Lasted

Back in 2002 I bought my Rave 4.  It has been my best friend for almost 11 years.  Being so dependable and very low maintenance I put 181,000 miles on it.  But, . . lately it has been showing its age.

I had to do some major repairs, including a clutch with ending up being $3,000.

On Saturday Tim and I decided, just for fun, to check out cars in SLC.

Before I knew it . .

I traded my Rave 4 in for a 2012 Passat.

I must have been inspired because I found just what I have been wanting.

Things happen to me when I least expect it. I am thrilled with my new car now. 

Now I have no worries about breaking down in "Parleys".

As my bestest friend said . . ."this is the car that I will be getting old in"

Whatever . .. I may have a late life crises and buy me a motorcycle,

after I get my TATTOO!!!

Bussin it . .

The Wheels of the Bus Go ROUND and ROUND. . . 

After a horrific snow storm last week I decided it was time to make a change.

After 21 years of driving down Parleys Canyon, I am taking a bus to work.  I can just kick back and read, Google, or what ever I want for 30 minutes and walk in my door of employment with a BIG SMILE on my face.
In the past I usually felt like I was running a race starting at 5:00 AM every morning.  

Back in the day, when I was young and vibrant, I lived in San Francisco for a while.
I took the bus and subway everyday to work. . .

So I have to admit . .

taking the bus (1972) years later, it makes me feel like a rascal again.

They do look a little different, but what can I say . . . . it was transportation.

Just kidding . ..

  I wasn't that much of a RASCAL.  

So, thank you very  much Park City,

for finally having a bus available to take me to work.
