First Snow in Salt Lake City

First Snow

It's hard to tell, but these pictures are my attempt to capture the first snow this season- up in the mountains, that is. SLC has just been getting a lot of rain! And it's cold. I'm sad to see fall go!

Lake Blanche

My friend Mary and I went on a hike to Lake Blanche on Sunday, which is about a 20 minute drive from Salt Lake. We got lucky and managed to catch the beautiful fall action in full force.

Holland hung pictures!

I'm so happy- I finally feel a little settled in!

Look what someone left on my doorstep!

Isn't that creepy? I have no idea who it was. If you're having difficulty reading the sign, it says, "This is our friend Pumpkin Pete. He's here to bring you a Halloween treat. Pass him along within three days' time. Or you'll be cursed by this Halloween rhyme!" One of my friends who has lived in this neighborhood for a while says that people in our neighborhood are always doing things like this for fun. I'm supposed to pass it on to someone else in the neighborhood....so Holland and I very sneakily placed it on the porch of some friends who live one street over. Hahahahah!

Airplane snack

This is for Nana, from my flight back to SLC from Dallas. We were chatting the other day about how much she likes Sierra Mist and I'd never tried it- so I did. Also thanks for the chocolate, Mom!


This is a very nice rancher from rural Utah whom I sat next to. He was returning from Switzerland, where he'd made a special visit just to pick up this cute little puppy, a Bernese mountain dog! She had to ride in the cargo hold the whole way back to SLC. I met her afterwards and she was so sweet and well-behaved!

Oh hello

My dad and I had dinner at El Sombrero's fancy new restaurant. The building was very cool and I finally got the kind of margarita that I miss all the time living in Salt Lake.

Lunch at the Tomato Place

On Hwy 61 in Vicksburg. I'd never eaten there and it was both charming and delicious. As you can see, I took a lot of pictures.























p.s- I didn't realize that bottles filled with water on the windowsill were an effective fly deterrent, did you?

Rainy Friday

It's been like this all week. So weird for Salt Lake but I like it- I miss the rain.

I made yogurt!

With my new yogurt maker. While I was mixing it up yesterday I couldn't help but think of toys like the Easy Bake oven. Things that you want from catalogs when you're a kid because they look so awesome! And that your mom hates because they make a huge mess. Like a snow cone machine- I mean, how cool does that sound when you're seven?

Well this is a grown up version of that sort of thing. Now if only someone would get me the Margaritaville margarita maker...






I haven't eaten it yet but it smells good. I'll feed it to Holland later and see what he thinks.

And speaking of Holland, look at this authentic Mexican deliciousness that he made for dinner:
