Made a quicky trip to take Bishop Austin home from the cabin so he could keep some Sunday commitments. I then turned around to return on monday, Labor Day, so that I could head up to northern Utah for some cemetery tromping and people interviewing. It was a cooler, overcast day. Such a relief from the horrible bake Las Vegas has experienced for almost a month straight! I glanced in the rearview mirror when I went to make a lane change and what I saw brought a wide smile to my face: little grandchildren handprints that had become covered in dust and were visible on the back cab window. Audrey and Ethan had played back there after a trip into Duck Creek Village one afternoon. Made me reflect how much I love all these little people that have come into our lives! They just exude enthusiasm and give loves, and warm people's hearts.... and always just enough to keep us loving and forgiving them when they do their tantrum thing, right Moms and Dads??????
Got to Cedar City to start up the mountain about 4 p.m. I noticed a lot of descending traffic. I was tiring a bit so decided to count cars somewhere along the way. From the time I started until I pulled onto Ponderosa Rd. I counted 222 cars!!! ONE was going the same direction I was. Usually we pass no more than 10 or so coming toward us! Just shows you how popular that weekend is to get in your last vestige of freedom before school and the fall/winter holidays consume our lives! Autumn is indeed in the air and a few leaves are already starting to turn colors.
