Another August weekend

Lot of changes happening this weekend. I know it is only Saturday and the weekend is nowhere near over, but we are already in full swing with what is going on. Both Myrna and I took Friday off from work to go help Katie and Adam move into their new home in Providence, UT. We went to Providence Thursday night and spent the night at a very nice Bed and Breakfast called the Providence Inn. It was originally built as a stone walled LDS church and has now been converted into the B&B. The rooms there are decorated themes, and we stayed in their New Orleans Room. Attached are some pictures of the B&B as well as the room we stayed in. They have purchased a cute home in the heart of Providence, which is just south of Logan. The house was originally built around the turn of the century I am told, but was totally remodeled inside only a few years ago. It sits on about a half acre lot and the back yard has fruit trees (apple, peach, apricot, plum, and pear) as well as a garden with grapes, raspberries and strawberries. I even noticed a currant bush loaded with plump black currants. The whole place has tremendous potential and will be a lot of work to keep up, but a lot of joy to them I'm sure. I've placed a few pictures of her house and back yard. While in Logan, we had an opportunity to join some long lost best friends for dinner. Mark and Leisa Firth were some of our most cherished friends when we lived in California (1991-1994). We were both Air Force Officers and lived just blocks from each other. While our friendship never wained, we had not seen each other since we both left California in 1994. The reunion was a wonderful treat to end our day on and we look forward to being able to spend time with them again in the future.
