Family

This weekend, in addition to it being Easter weekend, I was lucky enough to have both of my sisters in town for a visit - Valerie from Nevada, and Karen from Arizona.  It was really just a coincidence, as both had planned earlier visits and had to postpone.  I was so glad it worked out that they were both here at the same time!  The sisters had a sleep-over on Saturday night, following a fun dinner with Steph and family, Kris and family and Kara and family.  What a houseful!  And what fun!  Here's baby sister Karen on the right, Val in the middle, and big sister.





















Our very own Charlie's Angels!




On Easter, the girls and I (my girls, that is) and families went for our traditional Easter brunch at Market Street Grill.  Our kids all (young and old) looked so great!  These are my favorite people in all the world.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Visit from Tim and Mark

My friends Tim and Mark were up from Tucson for a visit a few weeks ago, and it was fun to have the chance to hang out with them.  Tim received a Christmas present of tickets to the Donnie and Marie show ... here in Utah.  Now, if I had really been paying attention at all, I would have figured out that the show isn't playing in Salt Lake City, and I would have called Tim to tell him so.  Luckily (?) I have been in my own little fog, so it truly never dawned on me that I hadn't heard anything about the show being here.  I was just glad there was a reason bringing them here for a visit.  So ... the reason for the visit obviously wasn't Donnie and Marie.  Instead, Tim's true surprise was tickets to the Lady Gaga concert.  And, on top of that, the surprise of a California friend joining him for the show (the "other Susan").  Anyway, we had a lot of fun during their visit.  We went to brunch at Market Street, hung out at Shannon's, and had lunch at Little America.  I always have such a great time with them!
