Halloween

Davy Crockett hat..

BTW, I am related to Davy Crockett.

Sarah made cheese/potato soup in bread bowls. For dessert Aaron made a fancy Orange Sherbet drink and decorated each glassful with a whip cream ghost. Each ghost had eyes, nose and mouth made with tiny chocolate chips.

We will go in the basement to watch a movie soon.

Salsa

It's definitely Fall, because the canning projects have begun. Today I canned 19 jars of Salsa.

I also filled a jar with cucumbers and spices etc.. to make refrigerator pickles. Then I baked a few wheat rolls.

Alpine Loop

This morning, my mom and dad picked me up to go on a drive. On the way we stopped at Aunt Lindas house in Pleasant Grove.

We had lunch at Los Hermanos Restaurant in Lindon.

Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful day!

Aaron Doing Cement Work

Aaron is helping to mix and pour cement today. This will be the landing for the deck stairs. The stairs will be a corner design, coming off the East and North corner.

It's nice of him to help us with this. He's got the energy and muscle that this job takes.

Mount Nebo Loop

Today I went with Mom and Dad on a drive to Mount Nebo.

Utah Lake in the distance:

It was a warm, beautiful day:

Me with Mom:

We made a stop in Fountain Green. Mom wanted to see this lot. There was once a house here. When mom was about 10 years old, she and my grandma lived here for a winter. Her step dad brought them here to his parents home to stay while he looked for work. This was during the depression:

I took pictures of a few old houses that she remembered and had stories about. I'm not posting them all here though.

One of the places had this date posted over the doorway (Erected 1878):

We stopped at the Fairview museum. It's a very good museum for such a small town:

We finished our day by having dinner at the 'In N Out Burger' in Draper.  I love that place.

 Dad drove a long way today! Thanks for a great day!!

October Walk

Yesterday was cold, wet and cloudy. We were very happy to see the sunshine today.

After lunch we went for a walk.

We enjoy exploring our canyons;
