A New Quilt

I finished my “Challenge” quilt this week.  The Grayson Country Quilters had a ‘Challenge’ quilt that members have been working on the past eight months.    I finished mine up early, after I found the right backing for this quilt.

It’s now on display at the Blanding Visitors Center.  (Don’t be impressed.  Lots of quilts are displayed their for a couple of months, from the second story loft.  I’ve had other quilt there as well.)

Our Utah Vacation!

Mike and I went on a little Utah Vacation.  We drove Highway 95 over to Richfield, went to Fish Lake, met my parents in Price for lunch, and returned home.  We were gone six days!

You can’t tell from this photo, but I was the ‘skipper’ of this trip.  I drove the boat the entire time and LOVED IT!  (Once again, a dream/desire fulfilled!)  I want to drive again!

Thursday, Mike and I drove to Price.  We went shopping at Walmart, went to the library to check email, took a nap, went out Thursday evening to a free concert at the Peace Park.  We had such a nice evening.  On Friday, we met my parents in Price for lunch.  It was great.  I wanted a picture, but of course, the battery was low, thus no picture.  We ate at Groggs.  The food is wonderful and I am already ready for a return trip!
