Mothers Day

Today is Mothers Day, a time for our wives to enjoy one day a year with out all the trials of Motherhood, or is it a time for us men keep the kids quiet and not mess up the house too much in our attempts at burnt offerings to Motherhood.

I found the perfect gift for my wife this time. Instead of giving her the traditional gift of flowers that were on sale at Kmart. I gave her something that she has wanted all year "Cash Money" and my driving her around all Saturday morning to Yard and Garage Sales. She did pretty well, a Levi Skirt, nice sweater, a small food processor, more picture frames and so on.

This last week was also a very musical time. We went to a local Mexican Restaurant Thursday Night on Ancestor Square to celebrate "Cinco De Mao". Then went to the free concert that is held there every Thursday. Ancestor Square is in the center of Town where many old pioneer buildings have been restored, it is on the same block as the Brigham Young summer home. The center of the block has been converted in to a small park like area with a rocky stream and grass to sit on.

Friday we enjoyed a concert at Tuachan with Don McClain. He is a song writer and performer. The performance was one of the best. Every one, even the old folks were standing, singing dancing and enjoying some of the older classics that he wrote.

This Monday night we will be attending the "Concert in the Park" that St George City does. We will take our lawn chairs and sit in the shade with some of our friends and enjoy some Blue Grass and Country Music.

We are looking at having new Ceramic Tile installed downstairs in the kitchen/dining room area. Marlene has been unhappy with the vinyl flooring that is in place even though it look great to me. I have had several different contractors come by and give us bids. We are learning a lot about tile. There are Quarry, Ceramic , Porcelain, and Full body type type of tiles. I told Mom that if we get some new tile that she will have to sacrifice a Cruse vacation this year. She seems to be OK with that as long as I take her to lots of concerts here in St George.

Our garden is growing well. We went by Tuesday and planted some more Water and Honeydew Melon. We will have produce coming out of our ears if only part of our efforts are successful.

Life is good here in our little home in St George.
