On Thursday morning my cousin Kindra (aka Michelle) and daughter, Aria (aka Melody) drove to Marj’s house to take Jaime and me to breakfast. We ended up at a waffle house near the high school. Afterwards Aria had wanted to get something at Fashion Place and so Jaime and I returned to the mall for a second time. After we were through browsing at the mall, Kindra drove us downtown and dropped us off.
We were specifically looking for a penny press machine and thought there might be one at the planetarium, but there was not.
Jaime received a text message from Richard while we were downtown. He had made arrangements for us to check in at a hotel as he was planning on driving in to collect us. I was adamant about NOT returning on Greyhound. I had wanted Richard to go with us in the first place specifically for the 18th and 19th – my soul reason for even being in Utah.
UTA offered free fare to all passengers riding bus or train on Thursday and Friday and so we did not have to pay on the return.
We took the train all the way to Sandy and met Natalee who then drove us to Marj’s to collect our luggage and took us back to the hotel. She offered to take us back to her house and feed us. But we decided to just rest up. Jaime and I unpacked and went to the pool.
Later Keith called to ask if we
wanted to play games. He came and got us and took us back to his house. We were playing games when Steven (aka Corey)
arrived. Natalee took some really great pictures of Jaime
and me playing cards with my brothers. What great memories in the making.
