The most interesting thing that has happened in the last little while is that Heather came to see us!  It was great to get her here and visit.  We didn't do very much.  She checked out the living space and decided which room she wanted to stay in while she is living with us.  She will take the twin bed room.  It's larger and has a better view from the window.  We will put the twin beds in her storage unit while she is here.
We went to see the latest Star Trek movie with her since she hadn't seen it.  We are always ready to go to the movies.
And we went to the Natural Science Museum.  That was such an interesting place!!  We will have to take whoever comes next (If you want to go:o))  because it goes on and on forever.  They have more dinosaurs than even the Utah museums and they have a great Egyptian exhibit.  The docent said that they did some research before they set it up and one little kid said to make it kind of creepy so they did.  It's all semi-dark so you can hardly read the signs and there's quiet Egyptian music playing.  And since we can't use flash photography I couldn't get any pictures in that exhibit.  But here are some of the dinosaurs.  Sorry it's fuzzy.

Then we went into the butterfly cage and down into the tropical forest.  It was beautiful.

It was all so gratifying to see and learn about.  And we just got to see maybe half of the museum.  We pooped out before we could do anymore.  We did buy a membership so we can go back and see what we want when we want, and there is a bus to take us from here there.  So no problem with traffic.  :o)  The only problem is our built in inertia.  We don't like getting out of the house.  Unless there's a real, compelling reason.  We will see how it goes in the next year.

In other news, the temple is closed most of September for renovating and so we will be going to visit the Evanses!  We look forward to seeing them.  We will leave here on the 12th and return on the 19-20 just in time for Jer to fly out to help Heather pack up the U-Haul and drive back here.  She went around to a few temp agencies while she was visiting here and they will be looking for some things for her to do while she is finding the right job she wants to stay with.

Otherwise, we have just been hanging around, doing things on the computer, working in the yard, etc, etc.  Nothing very exciting.  But we are very happy and are grateful every day to be here where it's green and wet (at the moment) and pleasant.  We love our little house and yard and friends and neighbors.  We love you all and look forward to seeing you when we can.
