It was a real treat this week to receive surprise visits from some old friends and some family. On Monday, Miriam called to say that she, Shane, Russell, and a friend of Russell's were on their way back to Wyoming after spending Easter weekend with their kids here in Utah. They wanted to know if they could make a quick stop in Heber to see us. I was so excited!
While I was working at the store and watching out the window for the Roberts' arrival, I saw a car pull up outside. Two women got out of the car and started walking to the front door of the store. My first thought was "Oh darn, it's not Miriam and Shane." And while I watched them walk up to the door, I realize that I knew these two! It was Ann and Chelsea Evans (she's now married, but I can't remember her married name) from Hyde Park, NY. They were on their way from Kamas (visiting Louise Hardy) down to Las Vegas where Chelsea has a summer student teaching job.
It was so fun to see Ann and Chelsea and to catch up on their family, as well as get news on other old friends from New York.
Soon after the Evans left, the Roberts came, and we had a lot of fun visiting with them. It was so nice to catch up with Miriam and Shane for a while, and to see how tall Russell has gotten!
That's one really nice thing about living in Utah - so many people have ties here that we get to see old friends and family a little more often than we did in NY. Thanks for stopping by to say hi.
We love you!
I know this is a blurry picture, but it was hard to get an action shot with my slow camera. This is a little like "Where's Waldo" - can you see the two riders up in the air? You have to kind of look up in the stands.
