An Evening In And A Day Above . . .Cedar City!


Okay, update.
 Roger is still waiting for some pics that his 
Weber Class of '62 
had taken at his 50th reunion.
At the main event at Snowbasin, he was too excited catching up with classmates to take any.
Sooo, as soon as we get some, I'll post all about it.  
For now, I'll just say, so fun!

On Tuesday night, August 28th, we spent a fun evening in Cedar City.  
My sister, Kay let us know about a special $10 a ticket deal for Scapin, a comedy playing at the Shakespeare Festival, that was soon to close for the season.
 Her husband, Ken had to report an audit in Beaver, so they would then drive to Cedar City. We would meet them at The Garden House for dinner, then go to the show.
 Ken's audit got moved a little later, so Kay said they wouldn't be able to make it for dinner. 
 Anyway, I said why not come with us to dinner,we could pick her up at home and Ken could drive right from work in St. George to Beaver, then back to Cedar and meet us at the play?
  
Sounds more complicated than it was, but that worked, so we had a delicious mahi mahi fish dinner and Kay
 got a To Go dinner for Ken.




The play was very well acted, had lots of laugh-out-loud moments, but also had some over-the-top
bawdy humor. 
Like so many things these days - innuendo humor 
taken too far.
Fun night, though.

On Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, J.C. and Bruce Stringham invited us to their summer home above Duck Creek, which is up in the mountains from Cedar City, 
to spend the day.
What a lovely home they have in the pines!  
We had an old-fashioned hamburger cook-out
 and everything was delicious.

They had invited four other couples - Lorin and Kathy Nielsen, Karl and Connie Richtor, Ernie and Joyce Webb 
and Larry and Linda Barney. 
 It was great fun hangin' out with them!

A real highlight 
was driving, then hiking to Strawberry Point
 We thought we had seen most of this area's scenery,
 but we were wrong!
Roger took some magnificent pics of the awesome beauty!

When we returned from our little excursion, 
we went about a mile away from Strigham's home to Joyce and Ernie Webb's summer home (they didn't go on the hike with us) for dessert.
Ernie made a really yummy lemon and sour cream pie - 
he even made the delicious cookie and almond crust!  
Just a little sidelight, Joyce and I have worked together in the music of our branch since it was formed.
She is a gracious and talented lady!
Kathy just chillin'
Linda got the girls going on a crazy card game 
while the men watched football.
Cute J.C.


We had a fun time with fun friends!
