November seemed normal enough, but clearly I didn't get many photos. All the same old stuff plus Thanksgiving at Emily's.
October started with a quick visit from Debra Sue Darling Gibbs who came for some kind of deal in Kamas with her niece. We met with The Group for dinner. I had a month of tooth work ending with a root canal and a new crown (still waiting for the permanent crown). I attended the "No Kings" rally in Provo with Stephen and Ann (will we survive the reign of the orange a-hole? Good lard, I hope so!) We got together with Tucker and Madeline in SLC for dinner at Takashi and gelato at Dolcetti. We had Cousin's Breakfast the next day (no photos, but it DID happen), and Kris turned 73 for another year (she thought she was 73 all last year). We hid in our cave with the lights out on Halloween.
We went to Vernal again for Arthur's birthday: gifts at home, dinner at Denny's, and a visit to the Halloween museum nearby. Breakfast with the cousins, Kris's Aunt Donna Norton's funeral (she was 104), a visit with Kris's brothers, and a month of cooking Tony's recipes and photographing them for an appendix in his history book. Poof! September was gone.
August was eventful. Mark, Kris's brother, and Anne were married so some of the Boyntons were in town. Cousin Chris Christensen came to Utah and joined us for Cousins Breakfast. Nancy Ostergar turned 80 and held a retrospective of all her art. The HI Taylors came to Provo for a wedding, as did Debra Sue Darling Gibbs (for a different wedding). The Hastings came town in batches, and some of us went to Vernal for Evy's birthday. We had an impromptu family dinner while the Hastings were here. And after years of carpenter ants and rot, the cabin was demolished - sigh.
