NEWS FROM THE DAYS FOR JULY 2013

Linda and I took a quick 4 day trip to Cedar City to catch some plays and relax. We saw Into the Woods (musical combining Little Red Riding hood/Big Bad Wolf/Jack & the Bean Stock/Cinderella), Sense & Sensibility, and a Neil Simon play Laughter on the 23rd Floor. All were very good, and we enjoyed the time away and relaxing.

I attended the annual guys Cabin Classic 4 day trip another weekend, and as usual, we enjoyed the time golfing, eating Mark Tysuki’s wonderful gourmet dinners, and conversation. The trip was extra special for me, as I won the handicap golf trophy for the first time in 10 years!

We saw a couple of movies, but can only remember the name to one – Echo to Earth. Linda’s been busy crocheting kitchen washcloths like Karin makes. She found a little pamphlet on how to do it, and a lady shopping right next to her explained exactly how to do it. It’s been a change of pace from the quilts/blankets she’s been crocheting for years.

The same day that our two former attorney generals were arrested (the biggest political news in quite some time), Linda got a call from her old boss asking her to come back part time. She accepted. I don’t know which story was bigger – the attorney general arrests, or Linda returning to her old job part time!

Linda’s been bugging me on for a long time to replace the carpet in our bedroom bathroom with tile. I don’t see why, as it’s so nice on bare feet, especially on a cooler morning. And there’s never been an issue with anything splashing on the carpet around the toilet bowl – after all, I would know, wouldn’t I? Now there’s nice new tile, and I have to admit, I kind of like it too.

We watched dogs for Jackie/Wiggins at the beginning of the month. Linda pretty much wrapped up helping Katie after her back surgery. Stephanie’s been keeping busy getting her yard finished, and just completed her parking strip out front with nice decorative rocks instead of grass. Her garden, as well as Katie’s and Jackie’s, are doing very well. Our garden is coming along, and we’ve enjoyed some green peppers, tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries & cucumbers so far. Lots of doctor appointments this month. Katie is getting close to returning to work. Kaylee was going to come over one day, but Linda had to work. Jackie and Wiggins enjoyed a trip to Blanding where Wiggin’s family comes from. We enjoyed a barbeque in their backyard one afternoon for Weston’s birthday (Wiggin’s youngest turned 13). And that’s the news from the Days.
