Crazy/Vacation...50º

We have, so far, been blessed with beautiful weather, while on our trip to Utah...That has made it possible to see more relatives and friends but it means that we have had to juggle our time and they have had to break their routine to accommodate us...So far we have slept in three different beds, eaten scrumptious meals in four different places, also gone out to eat, never missing a meal...(You know me, "Never late for dinner."...It has been 4 days since my last blog post, so will try to catch up this morning.

We ended our first stay in Morgan having dinner with Loraine, Lynelle/Steve and Blanche/Chris...Below is a brief glimpse into another whirwind trip.

From there we drove to Centerville to stay with Mona/Jerry and Jolene/Greg...A warm/sunny day found us eating dinner inside, then spending the afternoon on their deck basking in the sun, catching up on family news and renewing acquaintances with nieces/nephews who are now married and have children of their own...Our last visit here, two years ago, we had a foot of new snow to contend with, warm, sunny days are rare in March.

Monday, Herb and I had a rest and regroup day before leaving early Tuesday morning for Duchesne/Vernal and another leg of our journey...Nephew Jody and wife Jannine have opened a new restaurant in Vernal and invited us to lunch...Jody has found since opening his new venture that family will drive many miles for a free meal!..Many, many years have passed since our last visit, so for 4 hours we tried to make up for lost time...Jody's son and daughter in law joined us along with another of my nephews, Joel...Jody ordered our lunch family style and we dined on specialty pizzas, salads and cheese cake...What a treat!...The food was wonderful and the hosts, more than charming!

Leaving Vernal we backtracked to Duchesne, the town where we lived over 40 years ago...Our friends Brenda and Beverly hosted a dinner for us, where we spent the afternoon/evening catching up on their lives since our last visit some 16 years ago...Wednesday morning we returned to Centerville to rest before our return to Morgan and another visit with more nieces...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
