Silver Lake, Park City, and a Picnic for William

Friday, 13 July was the final fling of the family summer extravaganza. I went with the Hastings to Silver Lake at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Afterwards we took the Guardsman Pass Highway over the mountains to Park City where the Hastings visited the Meyer Gallery and acquired a luscious new painting by Ashely Glazier. That evening we picked up some Sensuous Sandwiches and met in the park for a get together in honor of Will's arrival. He and our kids only crossed paths for one day. Later that evening there was some tasting around our kitchen island. Saturday morning, the Hastings headed back to Santa Fe, the Youngs headed back to the Valley of the Sun, and our house was sadly  empty. Fortunately Hank and Colette invited the SKTs and DATs for lunch at the cabin.

The serious fun is done, but there will certainly be something going forward. This, however, is all for now.
