Utah and Ava's Blessing - Days 4, 5, 6

3rd - I am the first one up today -- yes, that's what happens when you go to bed super early.  Sneaking out of the house, I wander down the street a bit and try to catch the sunrise.    It's going to be spectacular.

White Rock Walking

I flew in this afternoon from a week in Utah and am just dang happy to see my sweet Mister.  The first thing I ask for is a gin and tonic - it's the end of the season and I want one last taste.  Once we have enjoyed them, it's time to walk.  Let's go to the lake and peek around.  As we walk out the back door, I notice that the grasses are blooming.  At least I think they are grasses.  Monkey something or other.

Mister decides to take us down near the dam to walk.  That is always entertaining as the wildfowl hang out there quite a bit.  Perhaps today we will be able to spot some lovelies.

We are rewarded as we come up the trail beside the dam.

Utah and Ava's Blessing - Days 1, 2, 3

8/31 - It's time to fly again.  Miss Ava is being blessed and I wouldn't miss that for anything.  I am, therefore, off to Provo for a few days with the Ashton's.  I am picked up at the airport bright and early by Scott's dad, Paul and dropped off a bit later at the house.  Cassie has not really been out since Ava was born and this would have been a bit of a long drive for her.  Once I'm at the house, Miss Ophelia and Miss Ava await and I am thrilled to get a few minutes with each of them.  Ahhhh, baby smell -- the best.  (I'm looking old.)
