Lagoon, November 1st, 2008, 72 degrees!

Today was the last day for the Season at Lagoon. Sorina's last chance for this year. Since Shawn and I were going on a date to Lagoon today, I thought I'd better take Sorina, since we'd talked about it all season. She didn't make it last year. She had a great time and was reluctant to head home and let Mom and Dad go on their double date. The weather was perfect and the crowds were to a minimum. Very nice Fall day at Lagoon.

I don't ever remember a Halloween in Utah where the weather was a wonderful 74 degres at trick-or-treat time. Those temps are Califorina trick-or-treat weather.

I found these on the Utah State Historical Society's website tonight. There are so many pictures there. I got some and will be returning for more. Some of these pictures are of Clear Creek, some are Kenilworth and some are Castle Gate.


The State Historical Site claims to have 25,000 photos online for all to use. The names and locations for all the pictures are on each of the pages as you browse the photos. I started with what I knew--I am sure there are a lot more.

Guess what? I left a big container of candy on the front porch with a picture of a skull and crossbones posted above it. I asked everybody to take a FEW pieces and to dare to share. When we got home from the temple at 11 p.m., all of the candy was gone. Sort of reminded me of the deed done by the Grinch--you know, crumbs to small for a mouse. Want to bet that one person got it all?

More on the apple saga. My friend from Price, Joyce Woodward, had a similar apple experience to the one I had. She was using one of the apple pickers featured in garden catalogs, you know the kind. They have a basket on the top. While she was picking, one of the big apples fell from the top of the tree and hit her right between the eyes. She had really black eyes when I saw her a few days later. I wonder if those apples have it out for females in retaliation for Eve tasting the "apple" and giving one to Adam to taste. (Just kidding, of course.)
