Sept 12 2009 Amy came down with girls and we went to the Pleasant Grove 5 th Annual Communty BBQ At their downtown city park, Theme "Hog Heaven"

Amy,Gabrielle & Lauren came down to spend the day with me. The girls brought in these squash from her garden. I made good use to them later in the week. We decided to go the the Pleasent Grove Community fair.

Amy and girls, we parked and went into the Culture Hall, where they had a big quilt display, and they ask us to vote on four of them we liked the best. So we had fun doing that. Even the girls got to vote.

This was a Christmas quilt, which I am sure was a lot of work.

The next day I read in the paper that this quilt won, one of the prizes at this city fair. The one that win was "Over the River and through the woods to Grandmother house we go. It was cute. But this one got my attention. I voted this one for first place.

When we got there they had this group playing the guitars and different ones singing. Later they gave out prize for something, people signed up for. We sat and listen to them awhile.

Amy and the girls look over the beads, notice Amy's reflection in the mirror.

They had these logs for familys to saw, they got to keep the round and decorate it. It looked fun, but we decided it was to much work.

He is showing the girls how the melted lead looks like. He explains it to Gabby.

There were lots of booths to buy stuff, this table intrigued Lauran and Gabrielle, but we passed on by.

A fellow had this log there for the kids to see who could pound their nail in the fastest. Gabby won, but each got a piece of candy.

Lauran was still pounding when the others had finished, but she got her prize a little candy bar.

Me with Gabby & Lauren, in the back ground you see more of the groups with their BBQ places going. Some were working all night. No one could buy any until the dinner which started at 5 pm. If you want any you had to wait til then. There is a group that judges them and the one who wins gets bragging rights for a year.


Here Amy and Lauran sit, Gabby took off to play with kids on the play ground, we watch her carefully, she was chasing a boy around having fun. We are sampling some little sweet cakes made by a Scandinvian group in the last picture.

Lauran had a hard time trying to decide what she wanted to eat, and finally decided to have this hot dog.

This was one of the contestants working on their meat. It was pork ribs.

Here comes the girl with our food, looks good to me, I was hungry by then. We didn't know if we got served some of the prize BBQ or not. But it was all good no matter who won the right to brag during next year.

We shared some of our ribs with Gabby. She had eaten other stuff and wasn't interested in trying to eat a plate of ribs.

Gabrielle took my camera and took this of Amy & I eating our Hog Heaven Pork BBQ.

Gabrielle entered this Hula Hoop contest. She is pretty good.

Before leaving the park they found this little doggie to lavish some love on.

We came home and Amy making a pie crust for a pie - see,next picture.

The end results, fresh peach pie from her tree at home. Nothing more delicious.

Sept 8 2008, Julia, Rita went with me to look for a couch, being Labor Day week, there was some good sales.

Before we start looking for sofa's we check out the fabric in this store to see if we can find the color of fabric I liked.

Here we are setting out to look for sofa's hoping to find something I'll like.

As we walked into this furniture store, they had a popcorn popper going and handing out bags of pop corn. So we wandered through the store eating it. The guy said "I won't follow you, but if you need question answered I'll be close by. " He followed us all over the store. Julia posed by this beautiful old car.

I had my picture taken by it, it takes me back to my youth.

This cute little old motel T ford, I wanted to take it home with me. It looked almost like the one my dad had when I was a little girl of three. Only this one is new. Well this looks more like a buggy. But its beautiful.

Rita liked this set,it does look nice.

We found this easy chair at one of the stores, it was small, and brown, and very comfortable, it looked like it would fit in my harth room very well. Didn't buy it then but went back about three weeks later and bought it.

I saw this cute little table at Sofa Mart and it was only $79. with two chairs. The only catch was the chairs you had to put together and we would have to go find the hardware to do at Home Depot or somewhere like that. So I bought it. We put in Rita's van, we didn't have much to wrap around it and it got scrated a little by some chairs in the back of the van.

We went clear up to this furniture store on RedWood Road, they advertized free hot dogs and drinks, so we went in. We would have anyway.

Because of the Labor Day week end sale, so here we are enjoying our hot dog, Rita took our picture of Julia and I refreshing our selves. Rita joined us afterwards.

I kinda liked this one, but wander off to look for the right color.

Julia has about seen all the couches she wants to see. But were still looking, covering all the furniture stores in Salt Lake.

Julia didn't know it was going to be a all day things, by this time she was regretting that she came with us.

I kinda like this couch, I'm going for green.

By this time we were getting pretty tired and we saw this rediculous funny chair, and Rita insisted on taking my picture in it. Funny thing it was way expensive.
