Summer

Apparently the theme for lately is BUSY and not knowing why. Well I can tell you why. I am getting a promotion at work that takes place next week. Well it is sort of a promotion. It has made it so my head is SO full while at work that by the time I get home, exercise for 45 in (yes I am being consistant) fixing food for the next day and cleaning up that I just don't find time to blog. Oh yeah, there is the Frontierville habit too.
Anyway, I hope to have some photos up on here...sometime.

Company Party

As I mentioned we have been really busy - Last week was my company party. I pretty much planned and purchased everything all by myself. It was fun though. I am glad it is over with. It sure wore me out. Apparently people had a good time though and that is what mattered!

The Great Salt Lake Marina

Last weekend we decided to brace the 100 degree temperatures and go to the Great Salt Lake Marina. It was fun, hot, and smelly. I was surprised at how many sail boats there were. There were some weirdos getting into the water too. The dood always loves to have his photo taken...Check out my photography blog for some other cool photos.

I learned that Utah has one of the three largest pelican populations in the country! Then of course there is Pink Floyd - the flamingo that escaped from the aviary many years ago. We didn't see him though.

Lila's 80th Birthday

Growing up we used to go to a family reunion every July for my grandma's family. We didn't know any of my grandpa's family then one day he died. His sister and cousins came to the cemetery and now we know them. Last weekend we went to my grandpa's cousin's 80th birthday party. (My first cousin twice removed.) It was fun. The dood and I were discussing how young we felt there and how great his parents are doing. (They turned 87 last week.)Just add it up to one more thing that has kept me from blogging lately.

Bountiful Baskets

My sister inspired me to try and get produce from some where other than the grocery store. There are no farmer's markets locally. I have no idea why since I live out in farm land. I did find Bountiful Baskets. I think what they have for the price is awesome! I was disappointed that there weren't more local items, if any, but they still taste great. Here is what we got in our first basket.
7 ears corn
6 oranges
7 nectarines (that are awesome)
bananas - which normally I don't like but these have great taste
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 pint blue berries
1 cantaloupe, 3 yellow squash1 bunch white asparagus
1 head romaine lettuce
1 bag green grapes
and Brussel sprouts (something I have no idea what to do with)
I had to get up at 6:30 am on a Saturday to make it to the next town over, 20 min away to pick up my basket but it was worth it.
