Mid July 2013

Mid July has been relatively uneventful, but pleasant. Phillip has joined us for dinner almost every night because his troops are in Hawaii. He helped me whip up some classic Hawaiian Loco Moco one evening. I manage to go for a walk just about every morning and always inspect some of the thousands of construction projects nearby. While I love watching it all unfold, I am frequently heartsick because BYU has pulled down hundreds of mature trees in their quest to make things "better."

Yesterday, Friday 19 July, we went up the canyon to have lunch at the invitation of Hank and Colette. The plans grew and we all drove to SLC for supper and a movie. We had dinner at the Copper Onion and then saw The Way Way Back at the Broadway. Wonderful cast; liked it. 

 Loco Moco and local fruit (except for the grapes)

 The corner of University Parkway at 9th East is a barren 
desert to make way for an extra turn lane because this will
be the only way to go west from our side of town after
BYU closes the campus -- Grrrrr

 20 degrees cooler than town

 Brickerhaven is such a beautiful spot

 HDT, AW, KBT, SKT, and CGT

 Carbonara: delicious

Salt Lake Film Society at the Broadway

Good times. This week is Pioneer Day, Anna and her buddy are coming, and we are headed to Mesa for a wedding. So there is more to come, but that's all for now.

OXO

As always, the food looks delicious. I'm real proud of you for eating a loco moco. And Sundance looks like heaven.

Sure looking forward to local Utah fruit. I think I'm going to buy a bunch and bring it back.
