PInk Floyd Summer 2008

I finally got the pictures together from Reed & Kim's visit and the big family reunion. I tried to narrow it down to five minutes but just couldn't do it - so here are about thirteen minutes of pictures set to Pink Floyd.

Another confused tourist

I had another confused tourist. She said her brother-in-law married a Mormon woman. Because she married outside of the church as penance she has to wear itchy white underwear.

Close Encounters

I just had my closest encounter with a famous person on my tour this week - Dick Locher. He's the cartoonist for Dick Tracy.

He's also an editorial cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune.

He and his wife were some of the nicest people I've had on my tour. He's about eighty years old so he thinks he'll be passing "Dick Tracy" on to some else soon.

And there are still dumb comments from the tourists. I had a lady who said, "I can't believe how vain and self-centered Brigham Young was! He had pictures and statues of himself in EVERY

room of the Beehive House!

Middle Age

Lance told me that I was middle-aged when I turned forty, but I didn't feel it. Now I do! Today I got my first artificial body part - a crown! It's not much, but it's still enough to make me realize I'm starting to fall apart. And it's not just the body that's going- I just washed a load of laundry and realized I forgot to put detergent in. (How important is soap to clean laundry anyway?) Oh, well - Jane forgets to put bananas in her banana bread :)

Crossroad Mall

It's already been over a year since they started tearing down Crossroad Mall. It was a year ago this month that the old Key Bank Building was imploded. Half of the block is still a four story hole, the other half is parking terraces - now back up to street level. Only four more years until the new mall is completed!

Time Flies

Patty says, "Only FOUR months until Christmas!

Next week Christmas decorations will

be showing up on store shelves! Time

flies - time to get ready!"

Call Family Reunion

It's only nine days to the big Call family reunion in Logan! Grandma said it will cost the same if there are ten people there or 200. Right now there are only about forty people signed up to go so get your butts into gear, call Debbie and make arrangements to be up there for at least one day!
