We have some new hurlers in the family. Uncle Brian & Aunt Ann (Thank you so much!) sent the boys hurleys, sliotars, and a book about it all! Erik & Henry think it is so cool, and are now wondering why the Utes (University of Utah) don’t have a hurling team. For those of you …

Because of recent world economic happenings many of us have re-considered & adjusted our Christmas budgets and activities… I like this guys approach (the house on the right)!!!
Lofty Lone Peak
The view from my living room window, looking in between two of my six giant maple trees is quite breathtaking. We are so lucky to live in and around such geological wonders! Here is a great photo of Lone Peak & the rising moon. 11,253 feet (3,429.9 meters) 40°31′36″N 111°45′19″W
