  • Utah trip – the 24th

    Thursday we did a little more vacationing – we went to the Golden Spike monument at Promontory Point near Brigham City. Rosemary, Jeanne, and I had not been there, neither had some of the other people who went with this (Scott, Shalynn, Gary, and Debi). We didn’t know it when we planned the trip, but…

  • Utah trip – the 23rd

We left Friday afternoon and are heading back Sunday afternoon. We’re…
