Zion’s National Park

WE loved Zion’s so much that we went through it three times.  We found a great Hotel in Springdale, so we decided to go back to it for a second night.  At the hotel we met a couple you were Sutton’s from Sutton Cove in England.  There was a computer there so we got on to New Family Search to see if we were related.  They live 2 hours away from Lancashire were our Sutton’s came from…so who knows.  They were darling people.  We plan to keep in touch with them.  They invited us to stay with them in England, and we them to stay with us and go to Yellowstone.  A trip to England sounds delightful to me. 

Yes!!  The sky was that blue, and the tree’s were that green.  It was so BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Tax Season Over…Hallelujah!!!

There isn't a better day in the year than the last day of tax season.  Not only do I think so, but now so do Lyndi and Ashlie.   I am as happy that they have their husbands back, and I am to have my own.  Actually a little more happy for Lyndi.  Those days of little kids and no husband were much harder than now.  We all three we so happy to have fun get-aways!!!

Randy and my  fun began about a half hour after Randy left the office.  We loaded our Harley on a trailer at Jack and Lorna's and headed for Southern Utah.  We began our vacation of laughter and great rides, with great eating, at Maddox Cafe in Brigham City.  What a great way to begin!!
We stayed our first night in a cheap hotel in Nephi, Utah.  Once again we learned, you get what you pay for.  It was cold that morning so we just kept driving in the pickup until the temperature got above 60.  That took us to Salena, where we unloaded the bikes.   Not far down the road was Richfield, where Randy and my good friend J'Lee Hansen Bennett lives.  We had such a fun visit with she and her husband Lee.  They took us to lunch.  She is so fun to be with.  It was great!  We also got to see her mom, Ruth who is 92.  That visit gave me lots of memories to think about, on that back of our Harley.
