Another punch on my “old man” card today. #hearingaids
A taste of Texas in Utah
A coworker of mine mentioned there was a place in Utah that sold a Texas staple that was sure to be enjoyed by Renée. We loaded up and headed an hour drive south to visit Blue Moo Drive Thru in West Jordan. The family each got two scoop cones with two flavors of Bluebell ice cream. I drove home while they finished theirs and then enjoyed some of the hand packed pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough that I had picked out. We will be going back again soon.
Finding out they now have to pay a tariff. #idiocy

35th Anniversary trip
We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary with a weekend getaway. We left on a Saturday after Jesse finished work and could be with Karri. We drove south from Ogden and stopped in Payson to watch Captain America: Brave New World. Afterwards, we continued driving to Richfield where we spent the night.
The next morning, we packed up and headed up into the mountains until we descended to Capitol Reef National Park. It is one of the more remote and least visited of Utah’s five national parks. We spent the day driving around and enjoying the scenery that very much reminded me of Arizona and its landscape.
Rather than stay nearby, we decided to head back north and stopped in Salina at Mom’s Cafe. We each enjoyed their chicken fried steak and then shared a piece of chocolate pie. Once finished, we drove farther north and decided to stop in Orem for the night. We went to the pool and hoped to get into the hot tub, but we were too slow as a couple of ladies got to it before we could.
The next day Renee presented me with the wonderful metal card for my wallet shown below. Before heading back to Ogden, we partook in a favorite family past time, thrift store shopping. We went to the Provo DI, Savers and then NPS store getting a few things for the kiddos.
It has been an ever winding journey the last 35 years and I am so grateful for Renée being at my side for it. Through the many twists, turns, hills and valleys she has been an encourager and comforter that I am grateful for each and every day.
Super bowling when you don’t care.
Make America what again?

Silent on Social Media Once Again
After careful thought and consideration, I have deactivated my social media accounts yet again on the major platforms. It wasn’t anything the people did on them as much as my way to protest the ownership partying with someone who pardoned the attackers of the US Capitol. I may be reached by phone call, text or email if you would like to know how we are doing.
This also means I will most likely be more active on this blog for the foreseeable future.
