Saturday Min and I got up at 4:30 a.m. and were out of the house in 15 minutes or less. Gassed up the car and headed for Utah. Listened to 'Three Men and a Boat' on the trip. Breakfast at Denny’s in Tremonton while the sun lightened the sky then on to Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. The refuge was amazing and we saw tons and tons of birds, particularly Avocets. Getting there as the sun rose was amazing. Then down to SLC where we met Rebecca and Christie Red Hair (also saw Hannah at work). Lunch with R & CRH at Village Inn then shopping for a fast hour for more art for my place at the big TJMaxx. Next stop was dropping Melinda at the airport and then Rebecca at home. I headed home after that. I was very sad to send Melinda home. I listened to part of Louis L’Amour’s ‘Lonely on the Mountain’ then thought and processed and drove home.
