Travels - Mar in Utah

July 9 – 16, 2009

Mar did the Utah trip again. There were a couple of good reasons to go.

First, she took Lar’s mother back home to Odgen. She stayed with us for 2 ½ weeks. We thoroughly enjoyed her stay.

Second, she went to a family reunion of her father’s family in Idaho. She went with Brenda. She said it was okay, but she was a little uncomfortable. She hasn’t been for “a number of years”, and nobody even recognized her. Still, it was good for her to see and be seen again.

Third, she went to bring her mother back home with us. We like having company so we keep filling up the empty bedrooms. Her mom couldn’t come back until Thursday, so that sort of extended her stay in Utah.

She almost extended her stay another way. She did her laundry while there and she had the car keys in her pocket. Not a big deal – oh, but it is an electronic car key. She went right out and tried it. Nope, it didn’t work. But she let it dry out and her brother, Roger, brought her a new battery – then they held their breath – and it worked.

Hmm - - maybe I should get a spare.
