The weekend was comfortably cool and yesterday evening and into the night it rained on and off.  Today the high is only in the low 50's.  No rain is scheduled but it sure is cloudy and very dark outside.

We went to Salt Lake City on Saturday and the ride over was beautiful.  Between Heber City and Strawberry Reservoir (which is very low) on highway 40E, the road goes through Daniel's Canyon at an elevation around 8000 feet with spectacular views...

Unfortunately the Jordanelle Reservoir east of Heber City on Highway 40 is extremely low.  An island that one used to swim to is now part of a peninsula.

When I was in Salt Lake City I went to a Michael's Craft Store.  This Michaels had much more inventory than any Michaels I have gone to back east...and it wasn't even the biggest Michaels in the Salt Lake City area.  I did purchase several items for junk journaling...things I haven't seen in any stores back east!  Go figure.  

I also visited the 'Dancing Crane' gift shop which has all sorts of unique imported gifts including wind chimes, clothing, drums, jewelry, incense, etc.  There's even a large koi pond in the middle of the store.  If you're in the area, it's a very nice place to visit.

On Sunday I watched the Global Quilt Connections' Sampler Platter which is a presentation by several quilt artists in 15 minute workshop segments.  There was one on Saturday also, but I have a week to watch the video segments.

I did manage to finish four pages for the current journal...

I have three more four page spreads to finish decorating.  Once they are done, I can sew them into the cover and start another journal.

How was your weekend?  Did you do something out of the ordinary like checking out a festival or visit a local attraction?  I know it's not yet summer but the time goes fast so please include as many outdoor activities as you can this summer.  

Remember chores are always there (and yes we do need to attend to them) but fun activities and experiences aren't always available.  And there will come a time when the activities are available but we aren't capable of enjoying them.  So enjoy them while you can.

Have an amazing day...

Talk with you tomorrow...
