May 21, 2018 - Salt Lake City & Genola, UT

Shirley (Moore) Snow and I had made a plan to get together today.  She and I were graduating classmates at Florida School for the Deaf (FSD) in 1963.  After graduation she attended Brigham Young University (BYU) in Salt Lake City, UT.

Shirley and I did not see each other after graduation until the class reunion in 2005 at FSD, but saw each other briefly. At that time, I was under the weather and did not stay around to chat more with her and other classmates. That was it until today that we got together again.

While a student at BYU Shirley met her future husband, Richard when he was also a student there.  After dating for 3 years they got married and raised 4 kids.

Erwin and I really enjoyed our visit with Shirley and Richard, and I was happy that we were able to spend quality time together to catch up on what we have missed since.  May 24, 2018 will be 55 years since the graduation in 1963.

We had pizza for lunch

Shirley has a green thumb. There were many beautiful and
different flowers in her yard

Here are pictures of me and Shirley, past and present.

I certainly hope to visit Shirley and Richard again next time we are in the neighborhood.

On our way back to Genola the sky started to look threatening, and there were several rain columns all around.  It did not rain on us until after we got back home.

We spent the evening walking among farm animals, then spent time with Phoebe and the family.

May 20, 2018 - Genola, Spanish Fork, Payson & Santaquin, UT

Since Phoebe and her family were at the church we had a dillydally morning.  There is a dump station at Maverick Gas Station in Santaquin, and we took our Lil' Home there.  There is no charge for using it.  It is nice to know there is one in town that we can use when we stay at Phoebe's for more than few days.

After lunch we took off to go visit with Erwin’s sister, Thelma and her husband, Fred for the afternoon. After our visit we went about the town of Spanish Fork.  On way back to Genola we stopped at Payson City Cemetery.

The other day Thelma told Erwin to be sure to check out the vintage RV bus that is parked not too far from her house, so we looked for it and found it.  It is named 'Betty'.

On way to Payson to check out the cemetery we pulled over to see llamas at the temple.  We visited the temple last year, but this time we did not go up to visit it again.  The pasture for llamas is near the road.

Not too far from the cemetery was a bronze sculpture of an Indian (I cannot remember who he was and what his merits were).  

Payson City Cemetery has many old tombstones and burials, but I did not see all of them because it was starting to get late and we were hungry.

Beautiful sunset after we got back home from afternoon's outing

May 19, 2018 - Santaquin, UT & Genola, UT

We did not do too much today except to visit Rowley's Red Barn in Santaquin, Utah, where it sells ice cream, homemade jellies and jams.  They also sell grass fed steaks.  There was a long line of people waiting to get their ice cream. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

We spent most of the late afternoon and evening at Phoebe's place, watching ducks, chickens and goats.  Phoebe and her kids were working in the garden while Phoebe's husband was whacking weeds.  He called out the family to come over and take a look.  It was a gopher snake that Pheobe's son picked up and posed for the camera before releasing it.
