Blue Moon Festival

Friday evening, in celebration of the Blue Moon, Holladay hosted a "Blue Moon Festival" at the Holladay town plaza.  My friend Stephanie works for the City, so she and I, along with her two girls, walked down to check it out. 

It was my first time getting out to a Holladay City function, and it was a great evening.  It sounds like this was a first of it's kind event, and Holladay pulled it off nicely, despite a little controversy over having a beer garden.  There were more people there than expected, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.  There were booths of artwork, jewelry, music, and fun things for the kids to do - art projects, and a build-your-own jump rope booth.  Of course the girls needed to get one of those!  

We walked around for awhile, and then walked across the street to what is likely to be my new addiction - Top It Frozen Yogurt.  It's one of those places where you pour yourself your own soft-serve yogurt, pick your favorite toppings, and then place it on a scale, where you're charged by the ounce.  For a few bucks, I was able to get a chocolate/vanilla combo with a little hot fudge, and let's just say that I will have to work hard to not go down there every night from now on.

After stuffing ourselves with yogurt, we walked home. Along the way, I snapped this picture of the Blue Moon rising over Mt. Olympus.  


It was a perfect summer evening. And next weekend there's another festival to Celebrate Holladay.  Of course, I may have to walk down and maybe celebrate Holladay with a little treat from Top It.

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.

New 'Do

For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time...

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...
