My New Adventure

I've now started on a new adventure. I'm back home in Utah, among family and friends, but after seven years on my GRAND adventure in Thailand (I'm sure stories and photos from there will creep up now and again) I really want to jump back into life here with new eyes, new attitues and new goals. And, of course, the adventure of friendship begun with Kim and Mary has to continue. Without them, the path forward would definitely be harder to navigate.

This past weekend, Roger and I headed up to our cabin above Park City on Weber Canyon Road. We've owned this property since 1996 and had the cabin built that same year. It has been our haven and retreat from the concerns of the world ever since. Ana, our oldest grand daughter tagged along and Jason, our youngest son and his girlfriend Christa, joined us for the work party on Saturday.

The cabin is part of an association and every spring there is a general clean up and pick up of downfall, etc. that occurs over the winter. Spring has been slow coming to Utah this year, so until recently, it's been difficult to get out and do the work. Seven years away has not worn well on our cabin and we quickly realized that the cabin will be needing a new deck sooner rather than later (put on the list). The inside needs a good cleaning and new paint, but otherwise, is in good shape. So while I cleaned inside and Ana watched "Sponge Bob", Roger, Jason and Christa went outside and played havoc with the chain saw. "Good fun was had by all".

Ana, of course, needed a ride on the four-wheeler and we all walked down to find the horses who usually are in the large pasture area. They definitely appreciated the sack of carrots we
brought with us.
