The Girls fishing at Lake Navajo!
Taylor caught the only fish of the day, a "Minnow"
We decided last minute to head up to the Utah property and meet Richard and Lori there. We loaded up the much bragged about Durango and decided to include a battery charger and jumper cables as my sixth sense told me that the Battery was on its way to the deep six. As I locked up the house and joined the girls for a word of prayer before going I attempted to start up the SUV and the battery decided to take a dump right then. We quickly transferred all the supplies into the new car of which might get 39 MPG highway but I dreaded driving it on the dirt roads to the property and to Navajo Lake. Never the less we headed out. It was so nice listening to Sirius radio, no fuzzy channels or finding something to listen to. Presto, push a button and music galore. We made it up in time to head into Cedar city for dinner at Cafe' Rio in north Cedar. Ah, delicious. I ate a burrito the size of a small Buffalo and bought dinner for everyone else. We sat outside and enjoyed the cool weather, until Richard started on the Political subjects and we decided it was time to go. The AC was loud all night and it went on and off a lot. So we froze for awhile and was hot for awhile. Richard brought all nine of his dogs up in his special camper and bedded them in the Garage, one in his truck cab and the little girl that was pregnant in with us. The night flew by, I had to get up my usual two to three times so sleep wasn't very good. Monday morning we headed into Cedar to IHOP where we decided to eat a burly breakfast before heading up to Navajo Lake. With the Shooting at the Carson City IHOP yesterday no one questions why take protective measures 24/7. We headed up to Navajo lake, a 26 mile drive. Richard and Lori had to jam back up to the Starbucks for a quick coffee and met us there at the lake.
What a beautiful drive up to the lake. When we got there is was fuller than I have ever seen it. People were leaving. Stupid me forgot to take even a long sleeve shirt let alone a jacket. But Vegas was 105 degrees when we left and at 10:00 PM at night it's still 100 outside. What was I thinking. Even the night before we sat around a beautiful fire and looked at the stars. It was nice, cool and soft outside. It started to sprinkle a few times at the lake and boy was it cold. Everyone left shortly after we arrived without even a bite or nibble. After three hours of watching everyone come and go we too packed it in. Not a nibble! Dang! But as they say, even a bad day of Fishing is better than a good day at work. It was just nice to get away. We drove back without stopping all weekend at Pizza Factory (Closed Sunday night). We unpacked and were too tired to even do a Jacuzzi. It was get ready for Work and School, make sure the battery was charged enough to go get another one (completed today) and take care of the daily business. I finished a load of Laundry but was too tired to do anymore. I Prefer doing it and doing it right! We didn't have the usual long weekend that we often like to take, but we have missed church a lot with all the traveling this summer and going to Mom's ward some, so we decided to go this Sunday. Good thing as we have the opportunity to get General Conference tickets. Can't wait!
