Fun Trip

We just returned from a wonderful trip for 8 days to Utah.  First we spent 2 days in Bryce National Park




My Photographer
 
Hoodoos


My pictures do not do it justice.  The real photographer has over 2,000 to go through and then I will post great ones.  But not bad for my phone and shaky hands.
 
Then we traveled up to Salt Lake City and stayed with our dear friends the Cushings.  Great fun.  Out to Breakfast in Soldier Hollow and Up Emigration Canyon at Ruth's Diner.  Out to Dinner for Mexican food and Texas Road House ribs!
 
We had two terrific dinners with the children and grandchildren on Sunday for a birthday and holiday barbeque on Monday.
All Yummy!
 
Played lots of cards and board games -  Four days of   SO MUCH FUN!
 
This family is the Bomb!

Then we traveled down to Zion National Park.  We stayed in Springdale in our favorite Hotel  Desert Pearl.  There are shuttles in town and Shuttles in the park so we never have to drive much here.
 

 



 
 
 





These Three are called Checkerboard.  I prefer to call them Quilts!




Hope to post some of hubby's pics soon.

We had a wonderful time.

Wedding Shower Gifts

One of my dear friend's daughter is getting married in March.  I was invited to the bridal shower which was very nicely presented and enjoyable - great food and drinks. 

Jessica ( bride-to-be) and Lynda  ( mother of the bride)

 
 
 I  made up three kinds of towels. 
 One for the bathroom hands. One for Dishes and another for kitchen hands. 
 
Included a few kitchen items to go along with the towels.
