We have a rental/retirement home there which went empty and Steve's brother made it sound rather messy so with work slow here and family up there, we decided to go and clean it up ourselves. Charles had a great time hanging out with Grandma Judy while we all worked on the house. Here are some of the more fun highlights...
Getting there (it's a 10 hour drive normally...see Christmas posts for the trip for the horror trip.)
The view from the front of "our" house. Awsome. This was a nice day...however, we left 80 degree weather here and arrived to SNOW in Utah. It warmed up after a couple of days...but...one morning I took my neice to the store for some provisions. When we were driving home, I pointed these beautiful mountains out to her and said "Where we live we don't have such a beautiful view...you are blessed with such a beautiful place, these mountains all around you wherever you look." She is in kindergarden and responded "You aren't blessed?" I recovered quickly with. "yes, we are blessed in California....uh...not with mountains...but...uh...we are blessed with beautiful weather." Darn if she didn't hesitate with "This is beautiful weather." uhhhh. "yes, beautiful cold weather...we are blessed with beautiful warm weather in California."
I ended with "This is the Day that the Lord has made." and called it a day.
