Saturday

Oh, have I been busy! Running to and fro, and doing all kinds of things. Mostly fun, but not everything. And most of it with a deadline - last Friday. Saturday morning came, and I got up early, and went back to bed and had a long nap. Then I decided to forget everything on my to do list, and relax for the day. 

Ray's been even busier than I have. His has been work related. So I proposed that we spend at least part of our Saturday and go to the new Trader Joe's that just opened a week ago in Salt Lake. (I cannot tell you how excited I am to have them open here!!). Ray was all for it, and we took off. Trader Joe's was mobbed. There were so many people you could hardly maneuver through the aisles. Mostly I just wanted to wander to see it all, and of course picked up a few favorites while we were there (Cat Cookies for me and peanut butter filled pretzels for Ray). Okay, we got a little more than just those two things. The cashier said the store has been that crowded all day every day since they opened. It's the biggest opening in sales that they've had since the 60's. Or so they say.

Next we headed to the heart of Salt Lake - Temple Square, and the new City Creek Mall. It was snowing just the perfect amount. Holiday-beautiful snow, with no snow accumulated on the streets or sidewalks. We popped in at the Apple Store to wave to our nephew David who works there. Then across the street to the Nauvoo Cafe in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. They have the best turkey pot pies there. After our pot pies and some hot chocolate we stood in the lobby and listened to a choir singing. 

Back to City Creek to wander for about twenty minutes. It was so pretty. Then home. It was a great, relaxing afternoon. 

As for all the things I've got to do for next week, I am adopting Scarlett O'Hara's motto: I'll think about that tomorrow.
