Tony and the Cat, Sunday in Payson and Orem and Payson Temple

We spend Sunday at my brother's house in Orem.  We went to church with him.  Tony did not want to venture into their primary so went to Sunday School with us and Relief Society with Sheri.  Charlie took me to see the local Wright sites in the morning.  In the evening we went to Dustin's for dinner.  He and Monica live in Payson close to the Payson temple.  Charlie, Weldon and I had a good talk.  Sheri and Tony went to visit with the Christiansen's who recently moved form our ward in Manteca.  Weldon gave me a ride to AMber's house, which is close.  It backs up to a field.  Dinner was good.  Dustin made sloppy joes.  Stupid me I did not take pictures of people but of the temple only.

Summer Vacation: Trip to Utah, Clover Valley, Brush Fire

We traveled from Manteca to Orem, Utah, Charlie's house on the first day of our vacation.  The trip was generally uneventful.  We stop at the same gas station in Reno, and Tony posed on the same rock.

Almost always when we drive through Wells we think about stopping at the grave of Sheri's brother who died as a young men.  This time we actually visited.  There are other Pohlsander family members buried in the cemetery in Clover Valley.

The mountains of Clover Valley are very beautiful.  We often talk of going there to camp for a few days.  Sheri said there is a very pretty lake, Angel's Lake.  

Just before Wells there was a brush fire.  It was a pretty big operation to put it out.  There were planes  buzzing around.  Sheri and Tony took pictures while I drove.

We finally got to Charlie's at about 8:30.  They were waiting dinner for us, grilled burgers.

I didn't get any Charlie and Diane pictures, but here is their bird.  He talks and everything.  His name is Willow.
