From Southern Utah we traveled to Salt Lake City area. To West Jordan, a suburb of SLC, to be exact, to visit with an Army buddy of Jim's, Dave Barber. Jim has been very lucky to have kept in touch with Dave over the years. Dave was the pilot for the plane that Jim was the Crew Chief for while they were in Vietnam. Dave and his wife, Lora, and two great kids were wonderful hosts to us for the week.

On Saturday the 10th, Dave and Lora invited us to join them at a fundraiser at their church. It was a Mad Hatter tea party at 4PM. Everyone that wanted to was asked to wear a hat. I made one out of trash!!!! I won second prize for my creation. It was so much fun and the hats were such a hoot!

We had a wonderful time visiting with Dave and his family. We hope to make it out to see them again next summer.
On Monday the 11th, we set off to head south again......
Until next time...
Barb and Jim
