Thorpe Family

Jeremy and Angela Host Barbecue

On Sunday evening Jeremy and Angela hosted a barbecue for the family that was not entirely rained out.

The head count for the evening was a full 28 bodies!  What a blast!

Jeremy and Angela provided a wonderful meal.

Here are some photos from the evening:

Our Visit to Cedar Breaks

Gail and I visited Cedar Breaks during our current trip to St. George (staying in our condo, which is available for vacation rentals).

Cedar Breaks is above 10,000 feet in elevation, so when we left St. George it was 109 degrees and when we arrived at Cedar Breaks 90 minutes later, it was 69 degrees.  It was worth the drive just to cool off.

The most beautiful thing I saw there was Gail (not to take anything away from the spectacular scenery).

Gray Night

We had the Gray Clan out for dinner this evening.  We missed Gary and Sue because Sue had a car accident this week and is still recovering (she may require another [her fourth] surgery on her shoulder to repair the damage.

Jim and Sue made it out; Scott represented Whitney; Kensley brought her boys and we visited Brad at work after dinner.  Fun evening--especially with Dayton in town!

Violets in Bloom

My niece, Courtney Bozzuto, has launched a business, designing and selling frilly little clothes for little girls.  I am proud of her for tackling the project.  Her sister, Kensley has helped with photography.  Her sister Whitney created her logo.  Quite a family!

Check it out!

Alaskan Cruise

Gail and I just returned from Alaska.  In case you have any interest in the photos from the trip, I'll post them here by day (there were two days at sea on which we took virtually no photos).
