Meet Fred

How to make food fun

Howdy!

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend despite a couple days of rainy cool weather here. Today made up for it with sunny skies, high of 70. The weekend consisted mostly of seeing some friends (Sat day, Sun day, and Monday night), checking out a couple new restaurants, and doing a few errands with a couple hikes and a bike ride thrown in. All in all, very nice.

Checking out the solar eclipse

We went down to Bryce this weekend with Ruby and Anil and Andrea to do some hiking and see the eclipse on Sunday night. The path of the 'ring of fire' passed right over Southern Utah. Pretty spectacular...we were not the only ones with the bright idea to camp down there Saturday night then drive home late Sunday - there was lots of traffic heading back on the highway, and one hour-long logjam, but a couple cups of coffee got us through...reminded me of weekends coming back from Tahoe!

Some cool pictures of the eclipse viewings around the world:

Going for an early morning walk to the Rim from our campsite. Hiking in our fuzzy PJs as it was still chilly.


Hiking the Navajo Trail (down Wall Street) with Anil, Andrea and Ruby.

We saw lots of deer

Last day of the ballet session...

Instead of cairns, we hiked past 'toast piles' on the trail
