Touring Northern Utah!

My pretty little wife and I went to "The Spoken Word" today before attending Church in the Joseph Smith Building along with new Elders Sitaki and Gibbons (from Kenya and Texas respectively).We were keeping a keen eye out for my cousin Aaron Dalton but think that he must have taken this Sunday off. In the middle of the MoTabs was "The National Youth Choir of Great Britain." It was very nice.
At the drive in theatre with Cole and mom. Cole's way to watch a movie is to stay very busy rearranging pillows, sleeping bags, cars, treats, and such -- with the ocassional glance at the picture screen if something interesting is happening.
I'm trying to transition from riding in the desert to riding in the Wasatch Mountains. And, it is not easy! The Uintah National Forest was very kind to set aside some trails specifically for motorcycles (no four-wheelers). I am thinking it was just a trick to keep some of these trails from disappearing altogether. They are either straight up or down and are plenty over grown so that big rocks hide in wait to kick you off your bike and throw you on to your head 20 feet down a hill. The views are spectacular, but don't look!
Maybe I shouldn't try to get used to Northern Utah as our town house has still not closed. It seems that the lending agencies don't really want to lend money. They have found less risky sources of revenue -- grants from the federal government.

Tell me about the Kenyan friends? It does look beautiful in the mountains, especially in the summertime. We just got back from the second trip this summer to weddings in Colorado Rocky Mountain Estes Park. It is beautiful in the summertime. A wonderful place to VISIT! I just read in the paper this morning that the government's red tape is leaving all the mortgage money in the hands of the middle man and it is not getting through to the people. ?Government run? Hope you see some house movement soon. Love you. MOM
