It's Always Fun When Debby Comes . . .

Long-time friend, Debra Sue Darling Gibbs has been with us for the week and as the title of the post says, it's always fun when Debby comes. Of course we ate lots of good meals including food from Communal, Bombay House, and La Casita. There were also a few retail trips to Salt Lake City and various parts of this valley that I mostly escaped. Here are some of the highlights of the week, not including General Conference.

The ladies post-dinner

A Friday excursion in Debby's fun convertible

Lunch at In-N-Out prior to a fall-leaves trip
over the Alpine Loop

The maples are finishing and the aspens
are just coming on

The convertible was a great way to enjoy the day

The summit view down into American Fork Canyon

Friday evening we saw this movie:
two thumbs up!

Joined for dinner after conference by Chelsea

Richard Johnson (not to be confused with Robert Johnson)
is doing a few projects for us this week including these
shelves in the garage

Monday, Debby joined us for compound dinner cooked
by Colton and Millie, and Tuesday she joined us for
dinner at Phillip and Meagan's

It was a great visit and we hope to get together again soon.

That's all for now.

I've been waiting for this post for a long time now. It all looks like a lot of fun but I am always surprised that even though I talk to you frequently, there is always something new that I didn't know about before. Example, you didn't tell me that you were having shelves built in the garage. What all is he doing for you? I will be talking to you soon. The food, as always, looks delicious!

I like convertible weather. Unfortunately we don't get any of it over here, but it was fun imagining for a few minutes.

Katy: Rich is replacing the base on the front-porch columns, replacing the guts of the pendant lights over the bar, building garage shelves, and fixing the strike plate on the back garage door so that the dead bolt will work.
