I'm so sorry my blog hasn't been updated forever! I have been in St. George for most of the past two weeks. My dad had an emergency surgery and we didn't know if he was going to make it. But I am happy to report he is doing better and is on the mend!
While I was in St. George, I had to take lots of pictures because it is so gorgeous there this time of year. I loved the combination of the fall trees and the snow on the mountains as fall changed officially to winter.
Golden sunshine on the red rock mountains at sunset:
This barn is across from my nephew's school and they all think it is haunted. I would like to think it was, but I didn't see any ghosts... It was gorgeous at sunset though!!!
The mountains were so pretty with snow all over them!
We drove up to Pine Valley to see the snow and dip our toes in it. And yes, I mean literally our toes - I had on sandals and Chloe was wearing crocks. Can you say cold feet?!?!?!?!
We took lots of long walks in the valleys - I loved looking at all the animal tracks, but we couldn't find any actual animals. We tried to lure them out of the bushes with a furry ball of fresh meat called Mayzie, but they just kept hiding (but I'm sure they were watching us!).
This last picture of the sunset was taken on the way home in the car. As I was driving. While my 19 year old son yelled at me for being an idiot. But the sky was so pretty, I just couldn't resist. And it took eight plus hours plus to get home in the traffic - yuck! I was bored and tired of driving, so I was a very bad girl (I took at least 20!).
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will be doing lots of blog posts this week to post more of my photos from my trip. Suzy
welcome home! love the pics - looks like it was a good trip. glad your dad is doing well! :)

So glad your dad is doing better. I was cracking up reading about you taking pictures of the sunset while driving. My weakness is rainbows. I can just hear myself, "Yes Officer, I'm sorry I swerved into the 16 wheeler, but did you SEE that rainbow?" A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, right?! Can't wait to see your Christmas creations... no one does Christmas layouts like you do! :)
