Girls Trip to Maui

Lucky me, I was invited by my friend Kristine (we've been friends for almost 40 years!) to go to Maui with her and some of her daughters. Joel urged me to go have some beach and girlfriend time. I didn't have to be urged very strongly. Nothing I like better than being on a beach, talking to friends and doing a whole lot of laughing. The big group was just delightful to be with and in 10 days we had lots of time to do a lot of the things I love to do. We surely had fun. We talked silly and we had serious talks, and we laughed til we cried sometimes. Thank you all for a wonderful, relaxing, beautiful trip.

Marlo and Alice come to town

On Friday Marlo and Alice came and picked me up for a fun day in the canyon. I had Ivy Star with me that day so the lucky little girl got to go spend the day with us. We went to a great Mexican place in Midway called The Tahraumra (maybe not spelled right but my spanish history classes were a long time ago). Then we visited a favorite store of mine called "All the stuff in the barn". Love that store. After we drove up to South Fork Park where we just chilled there by the little stream. When we were kids me and Marlo went with our two aunts, Theola and Sunda on a camping trip up South Fork. We had shishkabobs for dinner and therefore all of us kids named the big rock above the park "Shishkabob Mountain". That is a very fond memory for both of us. So of course we took a picture of Marlo and Alice in from of our big rock.

We had a game night at our house that involved 2 tables full of Five Crowns....you know that is a good time! The evening also had some dancing, but that was just a bit of silliness really.

It's always a good time when Marlo comes to town. We wish he could come more often but when he does we have to pack in a boat load of fun.

We also had a great picnic on Saturday at Canyon park. Our great tradition of volleyball was dusted off and revived at the park. We did miss the Whettens since volleyball always involves the Whettens, but it was just us Browns that day. Thanks Alice for renting the park and setting the whole thing up, it was awesome.
