What a truly awesome thing. What a blessing. Hey, I was at the Snuggle Inn just last Saturday! I was on my way home from a rained out camping trip in Escalante and stopped there to ask directions to the cemetery. My great grandparents are buried there. Hey sorry the watercolor trip didn't work out for me! They unexpectedly asked me to teach a summer class at SLCC that I haven't taught before. Next year!
