No credit cards!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So I have been in Bear Lake area for two weeks now. Nate and I came here for my annual Crane family reunion. We stayed an extra week to do things in this area for a vacation. Well, everything we had planned failed!! Bear Lake doesn't know what a credit card is and also they don't know how to stay OPEN for people to shop. Montpelier only has one grocery store, and they aren't open all the time. We drove clear over to Afton, WY, on a Monday, they were closed MONDAY's.

We usually pay for everything on credit card and they pay it off at the end of the month. Well the following places don't accept credit cards: Minnetoka Cave, the antique shop in Paris, the county assessors office in Paris, Family Dollar in Montpelier and I'm sure there is more. It has been so frustrating.

I wanted to go boating and the boat needed to be fixed. I spent three days doing that and then I didn't have a driver, flagger, or baby sitter. So I've been here two weeks and I haven't gotten to go boating. I went to the lake twice already but with no boat. The North Jetty where it is closest to launch the boat is closed still because Utah Power is still pumping water into the lake, and what else has gone wrong? I'm sure I'll think of some.

However even though I've had some disappointments it has been so nice to stay in my hometown and visit and relax. Things just move slower here and it is nice. I've gotten to visit a ton with old friends and went for several horseback rides and moved cows with my dad. I've gotten to really visit with my parents and have some good long talks with them. I feel like I know them and what their lives are like again. I also feel they have gotten to know me and my baby Connelly alot.

How fun - - kind of. I know what you are saying about the inconvenience of place like that. It's a different pace. We were at our cabin last weekend. We should have met in Afton for fish and chocolate!!

Found a home

Bell has found a new home. After I put her up for FREE on ksl.com, I got a ton of calls. The first little old lady that came to look at her snatched her right up. I was really surprised because Bell snapped at her right off, but I guess things are going well now. The lady called me later in the day, and said, "thank you, thank you. Bell is the dog I've waited for my whole life." She said that Bell just followed her around all day and the neighborhood kids love her. I'm so relieved.

Just hang'n with my BOY

Connelly has been so fun now that he is potty trained. Yes you heart me, HE IS POTTY TRAINED. Not one accident in two weeks. He will even tell me when he has to go when he is busy playing. I know this is abnormal and I'm very fortunate. I ran upon these picks from this summer and just thought how cute they were. We went to Cherry Hill resort in Kaysville this summer and had a lot of fun.

New Computer

So Nate needed, not wanted, a new computer. I have been out a computer for three days and I thought I was going to die. I missed out on blogging and downloading recipes. I doubt that Nate and I use a computer to the max of it's capabilities, but we of course needed a new one. The old one was four years old and according to Nate was "out dated, and too slow". It did the job for me, but I guess Nate does do Peach tree on it for his company and that supposedly slows things down. All I know it that my computer is downstairs now!! Yeah!! I wanted it downstairs because upstairs was too hot and then when the kids start working on it it is in an open environment. I love it. The screen is HUGE and the keyboard is so nice and I type way, way faster!!! The one thing about this new computer is that the computer place didn't transfer my pictures. I have a million pictures and they need to do this so until they transfer I can't update you on my family pix for now. I think, I ...
