our time in Layton

We arrived in Layton, UT and the next day we saw Bob and Marce! What fun they are. They fed us and then took us to Antelope Island, one of many islands in the Great Salt Lake. Look at this reflection of the mountain in the lake.



Here's Bob and Alan.

Here's another photo of the reflection of the mountain---I can't delete it so you get to look at it again! Actually this time I was higher when I took the picture and it's a better view.

Here's a picture of Bob and Marce on Antelope Island. They have on the same color T-shirts--they're Twinkies!

Bob and Marce love yard work. And their yard is beautiful.

I took a picture of the pumpkins they are growing but the photo disappeared.

Marce and Bob made Twice Grilled Burritos.

They eat almost all their meals outside and it's just delightful.

Marce taught me how to use a FoodSaver and cook lots of food and then freeze it. Plus how to organize my refrigerator! Yeah Marce. She would be great in an Infomercial! Or a cooking show.

Thank you Bob for grilling all my chicken and checking the temperature of each piece!

We left Bob and Marce early Sunday morning, heading east for Chicago. We didn't want to leave because we had so much fun with them. We'd never been to Utah before and they are our new friends. They're the ones we were parked next to in Missoula and I decided to go to their RV and knock on their door and invited them out to eat with us! We get along great and enjoy each other's company.I can't wait to get together with them again!!!!! We love you Bob and Marce!!Thank you for being so warm and welcoming to us and treating us like a king and queen! You are so special to us.

We are now in Chicago. It's Tuesday afternoon and we're waiting for Byron and Heather to drive to our RV park when they get off work.

So until next time.

last week in a nutshell

Last week went by fast. On Saturday we were in Spokane, WA with Heidi. We drove to several apple farms and pumpkin farms, ate pumpkin doughnuts, and had a great day.

On Sunday we drove Heidi to the airport to fly home and we headed out for Jackson, Wy. We drove through Yellowstone and the Tetons. Below is a photo of current forest fires we saw while driving.

On Monday we made it to Jackson, Wy at sunset. The Tetons in the evening were beautiful.

We arrived in Jackson very late but were hungry and too tired to cook. It was our anniversary so we walked downtown to look for somewhere to eat out. I guess we were so tired cuz nothing sounded good. We ended up eating at a hamburger at Billy's Burger. On Tuesday we drove to Pinedale to visit the Mountain Men Museum and see where the Green River Rendezvous was. The town is small but there's so much history in that area.

The mountain men had to cross the Winds (a mountain range) before they came to this valley where the suppliers would meet them (their rendezvous). Below is that mountain range.

Here's a photo of autumn in Wyoming. It's so beautiful with all the yellows, oranges, reds against the mountains.

Then on Wednesday in Jackson we had snow. SNOW!!!!! We decided to head out on Thursday for Salt Lake City area (actually Layton, UT) where our friends live.

The scenery on the way was so pretty. Snow everywhere. We finally arrived in Utah and the mountains there are gorgeous.

So on Thursday night we arrived in Layton, UT and called our friends Bob and Marce P to get together the next day.

So until then....
