Mike arose this morning (after 10:00am) and said, “Let’s drive to Moab and go to the Chinese Buffet for lunch! Well, I immediately accepted. Mike spoke with his mom and she quickly agreed as well. So, here’s a synopsis of our trip to Moab!
Out the door!
Lunch at our favorite Chinese Buffet in Moab
(It’s probably the ONLY Chinese Buffet in Moab!)
Sidney's Fortune: Your charm has inspired a secret admirer
.
Mike's Fortune: Soon wedding bells are in a family member's future. (Okay, Jeff, Nathan, Ryan, Stacey, or Alishea, do you have anything you are wanting to announce to us???)
Caroline's Fortune: Time makes one wise. Ask advice from someone older than you! (Okay, anyone older than 87 who wants to give Caroline some advice!?!?!)
We drove down the road to Castle Valley, along the Colorado River.
Caroline mentioned the ‘River Spring’ about 1/4 mile down this road. She and Doug would go there when they were dating. We stopped and I filled up my water bottle!
We drove Caroline over the ‘new’ bridge that was recently completed. It is at the north end of town over the Colorado River.
We bought gas. At $3.42 a gallon, we thought it was a steal! (Gas in Blanding is $3.72 a gallon.)
Every trip means a trip to the Quilt Shop. This trip was no different!
We went to the Moab Cemetery and found the gravesites of several family members.
Mike with his Grandmother, Marjorie D. Christensen. Marjorie died in 1930, when Mike’s dad Doug was only 9 years old.
Mike with Granddad Christensen’s (Butch) headstone.
Mike at Great Grandma and Grandpa Goodman’s headstones.
Other Goodman relatives…
Severina Christensen was Mike’s Great-grandmother. She was the 2nd wife of Christian Lyngaa Christensen. We had been wondering where she was buried because her husband is buried in Monticello.
