When was the last time you had a PBJ?

PBJs or Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches were a staple of my childhood and, eventually, college years. I haven't had one in ages, but we ordered this one from IKEA and I remembered exactly why I used to love them... it's because they are SO GOOD!!

This would have made a very tender themeday post for this month, but I only just took the photo on Wednesday. I don't know who wrote it, just that it was written on a driveway while I was out enjoying the pretty, but chilly, weather with a friend and her dogs.

I love the sentiment and believe that it is true!

I am glad to be back posting about American Fork and the wonderful places and people that are in this city.

Speaking of wonderful American Fork, I just heard this week about a fabulous event coming up in June. On June 9th, the American Fork Library will be having a Fablehaven party, complete with the author, Brandon Mull. I still don't know all of the details, but all of you fairies and other mythical creatures need to start planning your costumes. I know I am!!

Also, did you see that I guessed 3/4 eliminated American Idols correctly?

Road Trip: Mesa Verde (2)

I will be back to posting photos of my beloved American Fork, UT tomorrow, but for now, here are two more of Mesa Verde National Park. This gives you a small glimpse into why I was so amazed just being there!

Check out my American Idol predictions here on my other blog.

Road Trip: Mesa Verde

Ok, this isn't even in Utah, so I feel a little bit guilty posting it, but it's from my little vacation and I like the picture and I had A FABULOUS TIME. So don't get mad! I't s only about 5 hours from my house.

This is part of Spruce Tree House at the Mesa Verde National Park. We read an article in Sunset Magazine a few months back that listed this as one of the places you must go before you die, so we did it and we LOVED it!

Road Trip: Arches National Park (2)

You can't go to Arches National Park and not hike up to the Delicate Arch. Each time I go to Arches I am reminded of the amazing beauty and diversity that our amazing state is blessed with. It almost takes my breath away! I am so lucky that this is only 3 hours from my home.

Road Trip: Arches National Park (1)

I promised to show off some photos I took while in Moab last weekend. This little feller met us on the trail down from the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park on Saturday. His little brother was hiding under the rock and scrambled away before I could snap his picture.
