Last week, we had a grand time having fun with a vengeance.
(‘Fun with a vengeance’ is a phrase that I picked up from a book I read that encouraged people to take their nose off the grindstone and enjoy life. Fun with a vengeance is what I try to do with my husband on a weekly basis. Many times, it is going to the grocery store on a Friday night. Sigh . . .)
Our fun with a vengeance started by going with friends to the Tuacahn, an outdoor theater in St. George, to see Cats. Man oh man! Rum Tum Tugger can sing and dance for me any day of the week!
The day after we saw the show, we had breakfast, took a dip in the hotel pool (and the hot tub where the others couldn’t stand it as long as I could . . .), and visited the St. George Temple visitor center.
When we got home, we saw Shrek 4 in 3D. Amazing!
The next day, we went with my husband’s sister and her husband to the Olympic Museum in Park City and watched a skiing exhibition performed by future Olympic skiers in training. (Boy howdy! We went from one end of the state to the other!)
On the way home, we meandered through the elegant homes in Midway. We ended the day by sitting on my sister-in-law’s front porch, eating watermelon, and looking at the fabulous view of the valley.
If the saying ‘practice makes perfect’ is true, then we’ll keep ‘practicing’ at being retired so that when we finally do retire, we’ll be professionals!
