Picnic in Santaquin Canyon!

Joe and Sherrie came up Sunday afternoon and we went up Santaquin canyon to picnic. It was really fun and relaxing! It is so funny that when we bought the lot for our house we had no idea what a great location it was. We are literally 5 minutes from a very beautiful canyon that is not busy with people at all. In fact it is very wild up there! The road is narrow and there are parts where spring water runs right over it. It was so peaceful and gorgeous. The girls loved going on little hikes with grandma and watching grandpa cook steaks. And I LOVED eating smores! It's funny how you miss the family members that aren't with you though.
We need to plan a fun family get together for this summer!

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
