Weekend in Monticello

Hey we went to Monticello and Blanding last week to keep Mom company while she was in the hospital. The closest hospital to Blanding is in Monticello. Mark and Debbie were in California for Jeremy and Carly's wedding. Hey, by the way if you see this Carly, congratulations, and welcome to the family. Mom is doing just about the same. Saddest part was the day that she was the most "with it", was the day she really wanted out of the hospital. It was hard continually telling her that I couldn't take her home. Then she just kind of faded out again. It is so hard to see her that way. It makes me so thank-ful for both Debbie and Mark. They are special people.

These are pictures that I took on the way down and back. They turned out pretty good, considering I was in a moving car when I took them. And if you have ever traveled with Bob you know that the car was NOT moving slowly.
These wind machines are in the mouth of Spanish Fork canyon. There are about 18 of them, and they are huge! The only comparison I could find is look for the trailer at the bottom of this picture. It looks like it is minature, it's not.

The rest of these are just different sandstone formations. Some are just as I saw them. Others are enlarged a bit.



I couldn't believe that I actually caught this arch. I knew it was coming, but it was still tricky trying to snap the picture at the right time as we flew by.
Cindy and I have both decided that someday we are going to check out the cave at the bottom of this formation. I have no idea what it is, or if you could really go inside a ways. Anyone Know?
Ok, so while I was taking pictures I had to get some flowers for a flower wall in the living room. I had no idea that the green fly was on this flower til I enlarged it for the picture. Strange but for a fly it is kind of pretty. Sick huh?
And seeing as how I love sunflowers I couldn't resist taking a few of them. There is this whole field of them as you are going to the hospital in Monticello.
Well there you have it. I considered taking a Picture of Mom, but I would rather that you kids remember as how you remember her now.

So we call the formation with the cave under it Aunt Jemima, because it looks like that buns/wrap thing on the top of her head. I am excited to see that you have a blog. It is nice to be able to keep up with family this way.


Go for it!
