Chasing the Green

Bubby and I decided that rather than drive home on the Saturday night through the dark and potential stormy weather, we would sleep in St. George. When we awoke on Sunday morning, we remembered that we had lost an hour to DST during the night, and so we had to rush to get back to home and be on-time for choir practice. We saw about six cars off the road due to slippery conditions, so we were about 15 minutes late for choir, but we made it.

Unfortunately, we had about 7-8 inches of snow on the driveway and walks and forty-five minutes between choir and church. I shoveled while Bubby did some calling and did her hair. She shoveled while I dressed for church. All we were able to do was dig out the driveway so we could park the truck and take the car to church. I finished the sidewalks after the Block.

Later that evening, after a wonderful pasta and meatballs dinner, complete with lemon sour cream and pecan-cream cheese pie, Bubb and I got our recommends signed, visited with the Bells, and headed back down to the Condo.

Monday there was a campus-wide power outage planned and that left me without a need to go to work. Bubby was anxious to be in St. George on a nice day, so we spent Sunday night there. On Monday morning we went to the earliest temple session possible, had breakfast at the Fairway Grill (by the way, I concur, it was a bit overpriced), did some shopping at Costco, bought and In n Out for Bubb, and decided to go for a ride.



Bubby wanted to drive over Utah hill and down the Beaver Dam slope. She was hoping that there would be some vegetation in bloom. However, we are about six weeks too early, and the only thing we found was these tiny blossoms on a specimen of turpentine bush. On the up side, the sun was out, it was beautiful, and we had a grand time together.



Here is photogenic Bubb in her latest piece of SUU wear. Daniel and I picked it out and I gave it to her for her birthday. She is "quite pleased" with it, which makes me happy, too.
