Snowshoeing

Well, I finally fulfilled one of the items left on my list, and went snowshoeing yesterday. Soldier Hollow (site of the Cross Country and Biathlon events at the 2002 Olympics) was celebrating "Winter Trails Day", the objective being to introduce people to snow sports. They provided the equipment for free, and all you needed to do was show up. This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile, and the fact that it was free, and a chance to get out of the inversion and see the sun made it a perfect opportunity. So, Angel and Max and I drove up to Midway and enjoyed a lovely walk in the snow. It was a beautiful day, and the snow shoes were not that difficult to get used to. In fact, I'm now considering purchasing my own. Sadly, the camera batteries were totally dead, despite just being charged. So - no photos of Tracie in the snow.

Later, we drove in to Heber and enjoyed a yummy linner (that's later lunch/early dinner) at The Hub Cafe. It was a great day.

I'm jealous! Hub Cafe is one of my fave in Heber. I always sit at the bar and talk to the locals when I'm there ... it's a blast! Not to mention I love their ham dinner there ... he he he.

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...    From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff.  But nothing really excited me there.  However, the outlet is located...

Columbia River Temple

While I was at home in Oregon, the parents and I also took some time to drive over to Tri-Cities, Washington, to visit the Columbia River Temple, and walk around the grounds. The temple was closed for cleaning, but it was great to be on the grounds anyway. It was a beautiful day, capped off by a BYU win over Nebraska (you can see by Dad's shirt that he's representing, which most of us Mormons are wont to do whenever we go anywhere).
