Breakfast in the canyon

Is there anything more wonderful than starting your day in Logan Canyon? The air is so fresh and clean, beauty everywhere and the soothing sound of the river rushing by. Then when you add friends and family, it becomes perfect. Saturday morning we had breakfast with Bryce and Laurie's family and B.J. and Amber who were here from St. George. Does anyone know why food tastes twice as good in the canyon?
I'm thinking we need to do this more often. It takes such a few minutes to throw a few things in the car and in just fifteen minutes you are at the picnic sites. It's a perfect place to meditate, read and/or just relax.

Glorious Week

Major news this week!!! Dr. Adams looked at the xray and pronounced my wrist completely healed!!! It has been four years and nine months since I broke it. Thanks for your prayers.
Wednesday I spent with Mom. She continues to need our prayers, cards and letters. She cannot feed or dress herself. Occasionally she speaks a word or two we can understand, but most of the time her efforts at speech are unintelligible. She is cognizant. She still very much enjoys little birds and flowers. We put up a bird feeder outside her window at the Nursing home. Remember her birthday is Sept. 1st. She will be 93. Please remember Carol and I in your prayers as well. This is one of the most difficult challenges we've ever had.
Thursday we took Max and Allene up Logan Canyon for breakfast. It is soo beautiful. Delicious air, soothing river sounds and of course the food tastes four times as good up there. Every time we go we wonder why we haven't spent more time up there.
Friday we spent with Bryce and Laurie. It is great having them close. We went to Idaho Falls and did a session at the temple. It was a very special experience for me. We also visited the Idaho Potato Museum and stopped in Inkom to visit Sue and Brad.
Saturday Steven and Marianne and family came up and spent the afternoon with us. Jim was here with us as well. The kids love having him here. Then the day was made perfect because Sarah called and we all got to talk to her.
