Where are we going? Dunno.
When will we be back? Dunno.
Don’t worry though, you are coming with us! I hope to take pictures along the way; it will be fun for me to show off the beautiful state of Utah.
So, go potty, grab your pillow and some hand work! We’re going on a road trip!
By the way ABBA is on the iPod right now.
This is what I'm working on while Nathan is driving, putting a label on Grandma's gift.

Camping Trip Day 2 (May 16th, 2009)
Slept in Grandma’s driveway, 60 some odd miles south of home.
Well, we didn’t get far, but we didn’t set out until near 5:00pm. Then we forgot jackets, then we had to find the cables for the camera, then we had to go to the store, then we decided to get the oil changed but they were closed, then . . .
We were able to wish Grandma a happy 80th birthday and give her a quilted gift with hugs and kisses!
Grandma received a new kitchen faucet for her birthday from her children. Nathan and Urban installed it for her and she rewarded us with some yummy breakfast! We’ll have to remember this great camping stop for next time!
Later this afternoon, there is a surprise party for Grandma with all her family and friends. We won’t be there, but I think we wished her a “Happy Birthday” in a more personal way.
Funny kid rhymes from Grandma Williams: Picture little dirty freckled faces with their thumbs in their ears and fingers wiggling.
Gopsey, Gopsey, sittin’ on the fence. Tryin’ to make a dollar outta’ fifteen cents! (I have no idea, and neither did Grandma, what Gopsy means! )
Another taunt:
Bawl baby titty mouse, laid an egg at Grandma’s house! It was rotten, so was he, bawl baby titty mouse! (A tit mouse is a type of bird)
The Bawl Baby tease still gets under the skin of Nathan and his brothers; it’s fun to through it out there every once in a while!
Ahhh. Out on the open road, Hwy 89 toward SR 50.
I'm so excited to show you a drawing my Grandfather drew for and of my Grandmother when they were still newlyweds in 1935. Isn't it sweet?
My grandfather was an illustrator for a newspaper at a CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp in Cedar City, Utah and was away from my grandmother for months at a time.
