Muskrat Love

Today Spence and I decided to take our new van for a little spin.  First we went to RCWilley's and picked up a clock.  We had received a gift card from them in the mail.  So it was free.  The we drove out to Vivian Park in Provo Canyon.  Spence took his rod and reel and I got to watch.  The weather was wonderful and there was a nice cool breeze.  While he was fishing we saw this cute little guy:

Spencer said he was a muskrat.  Remember that old song, Muskrat Love.  I could never figure that one out, but he is really cute..so can I adopt him and bring him home??? I have a bathtub.  I can fill it up...
Maybe not. Oh well.

 The Heber Creeper was there when we arrived and getting return to return to Heber.

 Spencer tried and tried but he caught nothing...so since there was no fish, we would have to stop for food on the way home...oh dear.

It was a beautiful, sunny, clear day.  Not a cloud in the sky.

There were cabins for sale.  Should we get one??? I think I like it here--alot !!

It is a nice place to take your family...

 Come on in, the water's fine--If you are a fish, that is...

No, fish, time to go and our little van awaits us. It looks as though it is smiling.  It is a "she" by the way.  A real grammamobile.  With all the trimmings...

 A drive through South Fork Road ( I know all the road names now because of the GPS) has a beautiful viewpoint of Mt. Timpanogos.  Utah is beautiful and the S. Fork Road had gorgeous scenery, lots of recreation areas, picnic areas and was so fun to see. 

Bridal Veil Falls was a pretty sight to see, also.

But as I mentioned, we caught zero fish  (I hate fish...so who cares) but we were hungry and so...

 Chicken Teriyaki at Yamato's for me  and Beef Teriyaki and gyoza for Spence.  No one left hungry.  It was just a nice day.

Tonight is the "walk about".  I think I will take my camera!

The Orgo Queen "That be me!"

OK, so my daughter Jamie, has become the "coupon queen" and me, I admit it, have become the "Orgo queen", or at least "princess". My mom is probably the queen and my dad the king, so that knocks me down in rank just a bit. I have had a hard time with health in the last maybe 3-4 years and as such have tried just about everything to get back some better days. That includes buying foods untreated with hormones, pesticides and gmo's. OK, I am not a fanatic yet, but somewhat close...

Here are just a few of the things I buy orgo:

So what is in this picture: Orgo ice cream. Very delicious and expensive! But I only feel guilty about the calories, not the ingredients Orgo blueberries, red pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, brownie and cake mix, pot pie, garlic, mushrooms, chicken, beef, lunch meat, orgo with no nitrates. Notice the zucchini, that is from my garden. We don't use any pesticides ever and so of course, very orgo. We have been getting some tomatoes, zucchinis, cukes and lots and lots of lettuce, basil, parsley, an unidentifiable onion family member...(?) kohlrabi, and hopefully soon some other things will be ready. I have been buying orgo as much as possible and especially berries, as you can't "scrub" them clean enough to get all the bad stuff. My grocery bill is higher, but hopefully the med bills will be lower. That sounds like a great trade-off to me. So there you have it!
