Parade of Homes in St. George Ut. Feb 2010

This past weekend we had our family activity, with Neil, Sara & Sydney coming to visit. Mike and Nancy came from Cailf. and we had a great time. Over the weekend We visited 15 homes of the 25 that were on display . They ranged in size from 1600 sq. ft to a whopping 11,985 sq. ft.. They were two bedroom cozy cottages, to the Monstrous 6 bedroom, 6 bath play houses. Just about anything you can imagine can be built for the right price. One home sported a basketball court, in the basement, while another had a 2100 sq. ft master suite. Specialty items, such as a laundry shoot from upstairs to the laundry room downstairs. One home had three washers & dryers. While another had a sliding glass wall opening to the outside, over looking the valley. Need we mention the small prices. This year with the slow economy prices were a little more in reason. From a mere $210,000 to $3,700,000. So any time you need a new place to hang your hat, drive over and plunk down that spare change.. We love it here and are happy with our lives. We hope everyone can have fun with their families, like we do..

Weekend with Family

I would like to tell about the weekend. It was Sherry'sb-day, we had a great time. Sherry and I went shopping and added two new outfits to her wardrobe. We visited with Mike and Nancy Howard (Sherry's brother). We had a delicious meal, thanks to Corinne. We talked with Lindsay and Chris over web-cam, great fun. But the high-light was the notes combined by our children about their GREAT MOM...I am so blessed!!!!

We went to California to visit Julie, Dewey, Makayla, and Zayne. A fun trip to see how big Zayne has grown. It is hard to get time to go visit our children and now that they are spreading out it will be increasingly difficult to see them all every year. We will try to organize our time to get to all their homes. We spent a few days and went to the following places.
Museum of natural history in Los Angeles, Zanye was even quiet throughout this event. Next was a picnic in the park, with a trip to Olvera street in L.A. We had a great time. Everyone is fine and watching our grandchildren growing up is fun too.
