One Month to Another: July to August 2014

The months zip by at a frightening clip. In July we finally got together with Hank and Kristy. We spent the afternoon and evening at their cabin home in Sundance with a break for dinner at the Grill Room. It was wonderful to see their nice place and catch up after several months. 

Pioneer Day turned out to be pretty calm. It seems we never established a 24th-of-July tradition, so the day just kind of slipped away from us. We did manage to acquire a Danish flag to expand our honoring of the pioneer ancestors. 

Mike and Linda Gibbs flew into SLC for the Sunstone conference where Linda was a presenter. We picked them up at the airport and took them to our favorite Brazilian restaurant. It was great to see them again.

We changed phone plans and Kris and I got new iPhones. The camera is fantastic. The photos have incredible resolution -- it seems better than my regular camera and does very well in low light without a flash.

For the last two weeks I have been going to Telos to do a tutorial for one of Daniel's students. He has some interest in design and I have been giving him some Readers'-Digest versions of design and design history.

Last night we had dinner with Leanne at her new home. She has moved to a new facility called Treeo in Orem. The food was delicous, the building is well-planned and tasteful, and her fourth-floor studio is great with a spectacular view of the valley and mountains to the east.

We will be off to England in a couple of weeks and there will be plenty of posts from there. In the meantime, there may be a few more things from here. We shall see. This, however, is all for now.
