Just got back from 2 trips to Missouri/Kansas. I got to see Nicole with her family and was also able to reconnect with my old college roomate, Jackie Springer. It has been an interesting month and a half. I've had a couple of close death experiences which always makes it exciting. One was on Mother's Day when I hit a cement median on the freeway on my side of the car which did extensive damage-$8000.00 to be exact. The roof crumpled, the side was smashed and I was fine. The next happened a couple of days ago in Minnesota at the airport while waiting for a shuttle bus. I hadn't planned on having to stay over enroute to Vegas but because of fun air experiences I had to. I was waiting with about 23 others when the van I had been waiting for rammed into the side of the airport injuring 4 of the 23 that were waiting. One was badly hurt, the others got away with a few problems. I had this silly green blanket that I put on a man thinking that might help-you know "a woobie." Then we finally got to the motel and there were tornadoes all over the place.




The good news I got to reconnect with people, have the opportunity for some more time on this earth, see the grandkids and get a new car.

Fourth of July weekend has brought Paul and me to his cabin in Island Park, Idaho. We have fished and played tourist the past few days. Last night we watched the fireworks from West Yellowstone and saw a "parade" at Yellowstone's Lake Lodge. The parade was a hoot. I'll put a couple of pics.

Paul and I just spent a couple days in Richfield where we ventured out to Capital Reef. Then that same evening we went down to Manti to see The Miracle Pageant. It was a beautiful day and night!

Island Park and Yellowstone

I just got back from Yellowstone where I went with Paul. He has a cabin in Island Park where we stayed. It was beautiful but cold, which is a good change from hot St. George.
I've been going hiking with Connie a couple of times and we are headed for another National Park tomorrow.
