The Birthday Bash

Memorial Day in South Jordan

On Memorial Day this year Thomas got the grand treatment.  It was an absoultely beautiful day, I had my camera and took pictures so maybe your memories can be jogged of Memorial Days of yester year.  

We started off the morning with the traditional ceremony at the South Jordan Cemetary where we ran into many extended family members and had what every kid waits for, the firing of the guns.  In case you were wondering, kids still scramble to pick up the shells.  Visiting with the Burgons and Miners was had and then we left Grandpa and Grandma to decorate the graves and we began a tour of the Mabey properties.

John reminised about the Albert and Celestine Mabey home and told Thomas where the original cabin had been.  We drove down Mabey Lane and checked in on the new development that is starting to take shape.  If you haven't seen the Hindu Temple or Annt Mame's house, I recommend that drive.  Then we finished our rounds with admiring the beautiful old farm equipment in the farm yard.  There are some dandies.  

Hope your Memorial Day was as lovely as ours was.

My Surprise Student

Tonight I had a fabulous surprise at my cooking class.  Deanna came!  It was wonderful to have a familiar face in the class - it really put me at ease and the whole night just went better because she was there.  Don't we always think things go better when Deanna's around?  She also took a few pictures of me "instructing" and who knows if that will ever happen again.  So for those of you who will never have the chance of being one of my students . . . this is for you.
