Wednesday, June 20th - Seeing Friends and Family

This morning we met friends Carole and Samantha Mitchell at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I worked with Carole and Sam and Carole's husband, Todd, at a Highfill sale in Houma, Louisiana. We have stayed in touch since. We last saw all three Mitchells in the Amish Country of Pennsylvania, back in October of 2006. We introduced Carole and Sam to one of our favorites, "Breakfast at the Barrel".

It has been very hot here in the Salt Lake City area...upper 90's. So our generator has been running about 18 hours/day while dry camping at Cracker Barrel and Wal*Mart.

We moved about 30 miles south to the Wal-Mart in Springville, Utah, not far from Provo and Brigham Young University. We drove thru the campus today.

After dinner, we had a chance to visit with MA's cousin's son, Caleb Slagle and Caleb's wife, Adryana at their home in Spanish Fork. I was a short visit but it was very enjoyable to meet Adryana and catch up on their adventures as a young married couple. They are expecting their first child in late November.
