Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker

Julie invited me to join their family for the opening night showing of the final episode in the Star Wars series that began in 1977.  It was action packed and filled with enough twists to leave a viewer dazed.  Although it often seemed like a contrived revolving door to the afterlife, I loved the characters and the stunning visuals and audio.  Certainly great entertainment!  But it does leave many unanswered questions...

Late October Sibling Get Together

In late October we enjoyed several days visiting with LuJean's family in St. George and Brian Head.  The trip also brought opportunities to explore southern Utah back roads and spend some time in Springdale.

A Birthday, Albian Basin and Star Valley

On August 4th we celebrated Alexander's eight birthday and baptism.  It was a fun get together for all, including the grandparents.






August 5th we enjoyed a  trip to Albian Basin.  We did a short hike but noted that the wildflowers were still several weeks from full bloom.

On August 10th we attended LuJean's 55th class reunion in Wyoming.  You can spot her in the back, right of center.  Wonderful folks along with a fine Dutch oven dinner--yum!
