Janet's Utah trip

I can remember as a little kid, waiting in the car with Jean while Mom went into the bank. (That was back in the days when kids would wait in the car while parents went into stores etc.) She was running errands before our trip to Utah. We were sooo excited we were going to Gramma Judd's that we were bouncing up and down on the seats singing "Utah, Utah, beautiful beautiful land..." I still get excited to make that trip and so grateful for all the wonderful people in my life that I get to be around when I go there!


It was so special to be able to fly down for Daniela and Conrad's wedding. Jean and Boots picked me up at the airport and headed for their favorite store, Calisters. My, oh my....what a fun western place. Jean decided that we needed to buy shirts alike. Boots was so patient while we had the best time (and it took awhile!) finding something. It's been 45 years + since we've done that?!


Saturday was a was a cold, windy day, but the wedding and luncheon after was beautiful. It was the BEST to see everyone!
Sunday afternoon Jean's family got together at Janet's in Lehi. We had a delcious dinner, played games, were entertained by Jean's grandkids and also met Jen's fiance. They have a August 30th wedding planned. We had so much fun!



Monday, Jean and I went out to Hoytsville. It is always so neat to visit with Uncle Donald and Aunt Louise. I love being around them and it is so special to see Gramma Judd's house and

of course, the most beautiful barn in the world!!

We visited Aunt Gloria and were so thrilled that Arlys happened to be there too! As we were leaving, up rode Bill on his four-wheeler. So, we had some more good visiting!

We stopped in and enjoyed visiting Aunt Helen. She told us where her girls worked and so we drove into Colville and saw Roma, Diane and Janae. Janae took us to the museum in the basement of the courthouse where she works to show us some of great grampa Marchant's things. It is a wonderful museum (definately worth going to if you are in town).

We stopped at North Summit High School and saw Donald and Lousie's daughter, Kathy. We had so much fun surprising her and it was so good to make the cousin connection again!

It is always so fun to be at Boots and Jean's place. They treat me so royally! It was fun to go to church with them , enjoy the new little ponies and goats, visit and watch movies. And if all we did wasn't enough, they ended my trip with great food at the local diner, "The Hub".

Thanks for making my trip so special Boots and Jean!!!!
