Make a Run for the Border

After hiking in Zion's, Karen and I went to the Shakespeare festival to see the final performance of Richard III. Enough of the killing already! On the way home we stopped in to see Audrey at Taco Bell.  Who doesn't have fond memories of their first minimum wage job.  Midnight at Taco Bell is a happenin' place! 

P.S. Thank Karen for getting me back into my blog so I could post again. 

ZION at last!

Karen drove up from Phoenix for the Labor Day weekend and took me to Zion's National Park.  I have lived in St. George 3 1/2 years and have never been in the park yet.  We went up Kolob Canyon.  It was a 5 mile round trip hike and we didn't make it to the end before we decided Audrey would be late for work at 5pm if we didn't turn around.  It had absolutely nothing to do with my red, red face and rapid gasps for breath of refreshing mountain air. It was so wonderful to be outside in the mountains with Calvin, Karen and Audrey. Calvin was very patient with the three of us and usually took up the rear. I had Karen pose in this last picture because this rock looks like something straight out of a Syfy book.... "Little did she know that as she sat down to rest, the seemingly solid rock beneath her was preparing to absorb her amino acids to sustain its life force."
