Just Catching Up

A quick update from here in Cedar City. We really enjoyed a nice President's Day weekend last week. Bubb and I went down to St. George to finish up our latest batch of names and complete the sealings. We then enjoyed some quality condo time that included some minor shopping, some good food (Pizza Factory and Ichiban) and even a bike ride to the library. We went to Dick's Sporting goods and I bought Bubby a second bicycle for her birthday. Now she can decide which one she wants to have in Cedar City and which one will reside in St. George. I have done the same thing with the purple Schwinn that has hung in our garage for a decade. Maybe I can have a new one for my birthday, too. Oh, wait, that is what I did last year! We had to be home for church on Sunday, but we enjoyed a relaxing President's day. We walked to the Main Street Grill early Monday morning, arriving shortly after they opened. We shared an everything omelet and a side of bacon, and walked home down Main street. We worked hard to get the taxes ready for the accountant, Bubb worked on the grandkids' books, and we even went to the movies to see the latest Nicholas Sparks film. We capped it off with a trip to Alberto's for nachos and sopes. It has been a busy week, including a scripted visit for Bubb from Uncle Bill, Aunt B, and Auntie Nell. Bubb wanted Aunt B to assist in the decorating of the purple room, which is now totally "teacup". After the consultation, Bubby fixed them dinner and they had a nice time. I was awol most of the time, because Tuesdays are my HP meeting and visit night. We did discuss the September trip to Capitol Reef. It turns out that we got the group campsite for two weekends. We needed to decide which one we were going to use. In selfishness, we encourage the later date, because we expect to be in Oceanside during the earlier one. That was the decision. Last night Bubb and I concentrated on hanging the new quilt rack in the teacup room, so she could display her teacup lap quilt. I will admit she has found a much cheaper alternative quilt rack source. If any of our readers need to have one, she has the hook up. It is the weekend again, I am in my office early, listening to Pay Donohue, "The Road to Kingdom Come", grateful for a weekend, and thinking how fast the semester is moving. Already talking about commencement plans. We have tickets to go to Dallas in May, and Booty and Laur are bringing those cute kids to Cedar City very soon. Can't wait. Got to hear Miss Clara recite her ABC's on Skype the other day. Absolutely amazing. We love our lives, the gospel, and our family. Buboppy
