Party Animals........

I just returned from an exciting weekend. It was sooooo much fun. I was invited to go to St.George with a few friends and go to Tuachan to two shows. I jumped on the invite and had the time of my life. You put four crazy women together and you get giggles and more giggles and some really tired bellies from laughing our heads off. Let me tell you how it all started. We have been playing cards with some ladies to help our life & our laughter skills. One of the ladies that plays with us has a park model in St. George, and had an itch to go down to check her place out. So she invited us to go with her and catch a few shows. We said you bet only if we can drive you. So my sis Dawn, Rosie Yoder, Darlene Wise Cannon, and I headed for our trip. I took some time off from work and I think I needed to do this. It is good to see how the girls handle things while I am away. I think all went well and so I guess I had so much fun, I might as well do it again sometime. We got to St. George friday night and had a few games of hand & foot before we went to sleep. Got up and went to a session at the temple it was so nice and the temple is beautiful. We shopped and seen some really cool sites. One was a statue in a morturay of an old woman going thru the veil and then coming thru being a young beautiful woman meeting christ it was so touching. I would love to have a picture of this in my home. I will look for one someday. Then that night we went to our first show at Tuachan. It was an opera called Aida, it was so cool the singing and the scenery was fabulous, You just have to go to one at that place to appreciate what I am talking about. I recomend everyone go whenever they can. It is so worth it. Then Sunday we hit two movies. Where it was sunday we decided to go to a church movie called One Good Man. It was really good and so touching. we went to eat lunch and decided to have a marathon movie day and went to another movie, Love Happens. I recommend both of these movies.(really good clean movies!!!) the next day was a lot of fun between card games,and shopping,and site seeing we didn't stop for to much rest. Tuachan again seeing Footloose. WOW!!! you had to be there to see how good these kids are dancing is definetly there best talents and singing too. I was really sad to see our weekend come to an end but had such a good time and was so grateful that I was given this chance to participate in bonding with some good friends and share some culture, laughter, and enjoying in some really good medicine. Thanks girls for all the laughs,and all the good food and good talks and so on, and so on. Can't wait to do it again some time soon. I hope I was a kind enough person that I can be invited again. Love ya party animals!!!!

Autumn - Fall - Fun

I love the Fall time of year, it is the golds and the reds and the smell of things starting to calm down and rest. It is the way we all start to snuggle in a blankie and have a nap, and build a fire in the fireplace and make carmel popcorn, carmel apples, and fudge, and lots of good things to munch on. It is the way we can get together and play games and enjoy each others company and visit for hours and hours...I just had a weekend just doing this. We were invited to go with Dawn and Rachell,and her girls to a condo and have a girls night out. We planned it for the Fall break and so thursday about noon we headed to the canyon to go to Bear Lake. The canyon was so beautiful and I loved the ride there. Then the fun begins having girls the same age. Rachells Katie and Shaunie are both juniors and Shelby and Chelsea are 8th graders and Shaylie is in 6th grade that was the girls and Janiece and I was in the gang too. So the whole party was nine in a really nice condo that gave us plenty of room to laugh and joke around and play games and watch movies and just enjoy each other. It was so fun to hear the girls talk about times when they were little what they could remember, and then listen to them laugh and laugh about how crazy they thought they used to be. They are all really good girls and we had a blast. Thank you so MUCH Dawn for sharing your special time with us we will love the memories that we made...Hope we can do it again...
