DIXIE FOUR

Chuck went to St. George on Wednesday to work a Physician's Assistant convention.  Becca and I came down yesterday afternoon just in time for her to join him at the convention and do some serious networking. She was able to make some great contacts. I hope she feels it was worth the 9 hour drive (4  1/2 hrs each way) to spend about 3 hours talking to PA's from throughout the state of Utah.

We did take some time to go out to dinner with Linda, 3 weeks post total knee replacement and got to marvel at how well she is getting around. She is walking as well as she was prior to surgery!  She just tires easily and can't walk super far, but what walking she does, she looks great! No limping and she says she is pain free. The surgery also had the pleasant side effect of her losing 8 lbs, so she is looking particularly svelte.

I wanted to show Becca the Historical section in St. George, to see the darling 19th century houses that have been restored.

I also wanted to show her my favorite furniture consignment shop in town.

It is right on St. George Blvd.  If any of you are ever in St. George- check it out. The items in the store will bring back a lot of memories from your childhood.

We also needed to make our obligatory stop and climb the red rocks at the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve 

The rocks have the most interesting shapes.

This one looked like eyes

I thought this one looked like a turtle's shell

I am really starting to appreciate St. George. And that is really saying something because I am not a desert person.  But now I can understand the whole "snowbird" concept.
