This is what life’s all about-getting together with family and celebrating and having fun. It all came about because Mom was turning 60. We (the siblings) wanted to do something special for her, but couldn’t get everyone home for her birthday. Since Callie and Brian were going to be in Utah for a wedding around that time, we decided to all meet up there. That way, we could get all the family together-from the Shirley and Cole sides. It was decided we would have the party in Salt Lake.
The week we were scheduled to leave, our sewer line got clogged and overflowed into both bathrooms, the hallway, the girls’ room and our bedroom. We decided to have all the demo done while we were gone-Julio would come back on Monday to supervise the reconstruction and I would follow Tami, Mom, and Callie back to Idaho for a few additional days. So, we headed out on Thursday as the demo crew came in to tear out drywall, carpet and flooring.
The drive there was simple, the kids were good. It rained as we drove through Nevada and we saw lots of beautiful rainbows.
We stayed at a hotel in Salt Lake the first night. Then on Friday, we headed down to Orem to Aunt Alice and Uncle Lynn’s. We had lunch, visited for a while and then went up to Salt Lake to meet up with all the Shirley’s for a potluck in the park.
