Brianshead, Utah. Finally got to go and see what the kids have talked about. It is absolutely amazing up there. Jim and I left last Friday and drove up to a resort in Pine Valley Utah. It is about 40 miles outside of St George. On Saturday the main roads were closed due to a marathon taking place so we took all back roads to Cedar City. Good thing he has 4 wheel drive! The scenery is breathtaking. Every color imaginable. Between the changing colors of the trees and the remarkable mountain ranges Crayola must be jealous. Jim couldn't handle looking down from the overlooks up at Brianshead but I will never forget the awesome sights. The colors and formations seem impossibly perfect. That this could be the work of nature seems unbelievable.

This week has been all work. Yesterday I had a guest that made me feel like I was being stalked. It was scarry! Security had escorted him from the building but he kept popping in, coming up to me, saying "I'm back Lillian" then leaving. After he had done this 4-5 times I told Nathan to keep a watch and next time he showed to please call security. Sure enough he came back and this time I got "look into my eyes. Do you see my tears? Do you know why I'm crying? A lot more. I went to get him some kleenex and get Nathan. Nathan talked to him and got him to leave that time. But he came back a little while later and when he saw the phone being lifted he left again. I told Nathan when he came back again I was going on break and would not be back until he was off the property. He did come back, I left, and apparently he threatened Nathan. Fortunately Security was now watching our area so they stepped in. He also threatened them so they got him off the property. After shift I had security walk me to my car. What's more frightening is that he had a gift coming so he must come to Boulder regularly. If I see him again I will immediately give my boss a heads up. Exciting huh!!!

Love you all. XoXoXo

Just thought I'd do a quick update while I have the time. This week has been very busy. Sylvias son Steve came in on Friday and Sherry and Marco came in Sunday. Our house is kind of full. Jim and I went to the Don Williams concert Saturday night and of course it was fabulous. I got my shift changed so I could get off work early enough to get to the concert at 8. Left work at 5, got to Jims and he had a filet mignon dinner waiting for me/us. Changed and off to the concert. When we got home he downloaded every Don Williams song and put them on a CD for me. Sunday we cooked dinner for everybody and he made Chicken Salad with the leftovers. I'd have never thought to do that. It was good too! Had enough for lunch for everybody on Monday. Steve went back this morning and Sherry and Marco go Thursday morning. I'll have to do an all nighter Wednesday to get them to the airport by 4a.m. I work Wed 2:30-8:30, have the landscapers coming Thursday morning, Sylvia to the Dr Friday morning, I'm going to crash on Saturday, then back to work Sunday at 6:30 a.m. If I survive I'll post again next week. Love to all.
