Memorial Day weekend Saturday, we spent in at my cousin Alex's wedding. 
My aunt and cousins from another state made the trek to town for her son's wedding. It was great to see them.
My brother and Rick has lost a lot of weight and need new suits. Their pants look like they are wearing their dad's suits.
The little ones loved playing in the water. 
My beautiful cousin Aimee is always fun to chat with.
It was a long day but of course we had some fun.
I can tell you this, the grass might not be greener but there sure aren't as many people.
The local high school is just finishing up their first first year of school. They have AWESOME tennis courts only minutes from our home. They even have bleachers for our adoring fans.
This will be our home away from home Saturday mornings for the rest of the summer.
I didn't want to plan too much since we still need to put in the sprinkler system this summer.The rest of the day was spent hanging out watching tv and BBQing.
It was our first dinner on our patio.
We may not have made it to the cemetery but as most of you know, I frequent the cemetery on more than an annual basis.
For all the shots and some explanation, I recommend checking out Dug's Blog.
We saw some children riding 4-wheelers, with no helmets or parents. I guess when you start riding at 2 you learn how to drive them.
The view was so very pretty. This is the view I get when driving to the grocery store now.
We also found the LDS Welfare farm out this way.
Some of you might have noticed the Virg's restaurant in Taylorsville in the Frontier Pies old building (south of the Old Spaghetti Factory). Well Saturday night we went to the first Virg's. It is just down the road from us...a few miles. I had to take some photos of the place. All cover ops style.
The food was decent but I wouldn't call it great. It was really inexpensive for TONS of it. I bet breakfast is great there. They server it all day.
I am gonna be checking it out this summer. ;-) 
Across the street to the south is some beef jerkey place. Apparently it is really good but I don't like jerkey - yes I did try it. Next time I am down that way I will grab a photo of the sign that talks about where to take your meat for processing.
Above are the views from my bed. Then we have our front door and guest room.
The guest room's artwork is all from Italy. As are most of the object d'art on the dresser.
Our guest bathroom has prints of homes from Natchez Mississippi.
Then we have the loft and across from it the laundry room and closet.

The other lovely thing we have out here...calcium/salt in the soil. Oh heck we don't have soil, we have dirt. The first time we saw the crust of whiteness we weren't sure if it was frost.
Alas, it is not. It is salt build up We are going to have to add a lot of acid to help bring down the pH before we can really grow anything other than grass.
(We are bringing in top soil first)
Someday we will pour cement and put on a cover but until then I have my big stud putting in a patio for me.
When I came home from work tonight there was another row added.
