On Thursday, December 3, Carla and I flew Southwest Airlines to Salt Lake City, rented a car there, and stayed until the following Monday at the La Quinta Inn on 800 North in Orem. Thursday, we ate at the Provo Tucanos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Along with Carla attending a wedding shower for Cleo, we also wanted to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit<\/a> at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art. So we did that on Friday.<\/p>\n

When I photographed this incident, a student docent politely informed me that picture taking was not permitted inside the exhibit.<\/p><\/div>\n

Friday night, we enjoyed going out to eat with John and Jenny at Pizzeria 712<\/a> in Orem.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Carla went to Cleo’s shower with Jenny, Ruby, and Elizabeth. I got to hang out at John’s, play chess with the boys and listen to their music, and go with John for parts to do a kitchen plumbing repair. For dinner, John and I brought everybody hamburgers from Five Guys<\/a>. I like to crack open the shells and eat the peanuts there while an order is being prepared. Somehow, I like peanuts even better when you have to remove their shells. Five Guys\u00a0warns<\/a>\u00a0you against going in if you have a peanut allergy.<\/p>\n

Sunday, we walked the short distance to John’s ward.<\/p>\n

John showed me how to download Heroes of Might and Magic 3 from gog.com, so I did that. We enjoyed our visit and, on Monday, returned our rental car and flew home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
