Trips home fall/winter 23

7-8 sept. Storytelling festival was lovely again this year. I didn’t go as much as I usually would since it was hard to pull away from family when I hardly see them.

But I did spend Friday day there. And took Milo, Max and Mason sage on Thursday night to give Allie and Mike an evening.

9 sept Went to the farmers market on Saturday morning with Gary’s fam. This gluten free stuff is amazing!

11 sept Went to Clue at Hale Center Theater in Orem.

15 Sept I presented a workshop on the parasitoid unit at the Utah science teacher conference. I extended my trip so that I could be in Utah for this. Flew out right after it.

29 sept. Drove home early so that I could spend Friday at the cabin with ada for her birthday

Beautiful weekend! A bit chilly which was lovely after the swelter of Florida.

I had to spend most of Saturday at my uncle Ron’s funeral. Gary and I visited our dad’s grave while we were nearby. The day brought back lots of sad for my dad too. My poor cousins and sweet aunt Mary.

Robyn made ada a beautiful cake 😊

My Krispy Kreme cake was relegated to Sunday and rechristened as a Happy Inagural Playing of Taylor Swift Dalmuti

5 Oct Had a lovely few days at home and then I drove back. Stopped at the Cedar City temple to do baptisms.

And in Leeds to get my sweet cousin Tiff. We had lunch at chilis, went through the St George temple open house, and had delicious custard at Nielsen’s. She’s really struggling. I know so much how that feels. Losing your dad sucks. At least we know that we will see them again. It could totally be worse.
