For Father’s Day this year I had a completely normal, enjoyable Sabbath day. It was quite a bit different from Vickey’s Mother’s Day when I spent the whole morning shopping around Salt Lake City for a tire shop to replace our flat tire on the Sequoia and we spent the whole afternoon and evening driving […]

Well, according to my mom’s email this morning, their offer to purchase property in New Harmony, Utah was accepted. Her email: This is an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! We have a PROPERTY DEAL in Harmony Heights, Utah!! We signed the papers last night via e-mail transmission, so we should be the new owners soon. Now all the […]

The City of Henderson just built a new water park a couple miles away from us. They have a pretty impressive Parks Department. Now that she’s out of school, Eliana’s trying to fill her itinerary with all sorts of fun things. Here are some photos from the first week of summer.

We received a voice message tonight that my parents—who are hunting in southern Utah for a place to call home after my dad retires in a few years—are extending their trip and will be back in Vegas on Saturday afternoon before flying back to New York on Sunday. We hope they’re having fun researching and […]

Tonight we rushed through dinner, dashed off to Cox Elementary School, ran into the cafeteria and dropped off a plate of our famous Reese’s peanut butter cookies just in time for the procession to begin and Eliana to walk in with her schoolmates. The kids sang along to a soundtrack in front of a full […]

Yesterday my parents flew back to Vegas from Salt Lake City where they were visiting my brother and his family. The first order of business was for my dad to go to a quick care center to get a prescription for a painful sore throat he managed to catch in SLC. When I got home […]
