FRIDAY'

8-18-2023

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Hubby was up at 4:30AM with the dogs. Wilson whined and I let him out at 5AM. Hubby sat on the patio with his ipad. Tater started barking at 5AM. I got up to yell at the dog and bring him inside. Hubby would not reprimand him.

I went back to bed and slept for a few minutes. A great nightmare of death and destruction. Yuck.

Then up at 6AM and dressed. Made lattes & Nanogreens in kitchen. 

Hubby had me process the payent for the Desert tire recovery from last night. It fortunately went thru. He was scared it would be declined.

We got packed and ready for the trip. Dark storm clouds in the sky this morning.

 

I picked up dog poo in the yard. 

 

We left at 8:30PM. Stopped at Starbucks. Drove on the Interstate and it was not backed up per WYZE app.  

Dropped dogs off at Dogtown Doggy Day Care. They were so excited. Tater barked a lot.

Drove to UPS up on Bluff Boulevard. Then drove back to the Interstate and got Beans & Brews iced lattes. Hubby said LARGE and they were 32oz. He would not believe me. It changed the flavor.

Drove the Interstate to Cedar City and got gas at Smith's. Lots of cars. Then Hubby had to pee REALLY BADLY and drove next door to Subway. He bought a sub and went potty.

 

We were really hungry and stopped at IDK BBQ. It was wonderful! I had the Emily special - pulled chicken with coleslaw.  Hubby had the Sloppy Joe style pulled brisket with bbq beans and coleslaw on the Asiago bun.

IDK BBQ IN TROPIC, UT

We got back on the road and drove to Tropic, UT. We were early for check-in. So we parked in front of the LDS Church and rode around. Saw some deer eating in a giant orchard. Saw lots of dogs, lots of horses, lots of kitties sitting on front porches. Saw a 1997 Eddie Bauer Bronco and a 1997 F350 Dually 4x4. Hubby wants to go back and check on. We drove thru the Stone Canyon. 

DEER IN TOWN

STONE CANYON

Back to the truck at 3PM. Then we loaded bikes and drove to Stone Canyon to check in. Tanya said her mother made fresh baked goods and we could find cinnamon rolls at the coffee stand in town when they opened at 7AM.

We checked into our Bungalow - Primrose. It was very clean and nice for $250/night. Much cheaper than stupid hotels that are awful.

HANGING BED AT PRIMROSE BUNGALOW
 

 

Unloaded all our stuff. Watched TV. Hubby watched YouTube Shorts. Opened all the windows for the pine & mesquite tree scened fresh air. Then it got cold so we started the fireplace. 

 

Immediately, Hubby locked us out of the bungalow and it was fortunate that we had opened all the windows. We took the screen out and I had to crawl thru the window to open the door.

 

BLUEBIRD ON MESQUITE TREE OUTSIDE BUNGALOW

 

People (family) came in electric and parked right next to our Bungalow. Lots of kid noises screeching. 

We left at 6:50PM and walked down to the Lodge for 7PM dinner reservation. Had a really nice dinner. Steaks were AMAZING. Tender, juicy, cut with a knife. Potatoes were very well flavored. We skipped dessert. 

 

Walked back to the Bungalow.

FILET WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER & HOMEMADE BREAD

 

Got back and 2 yappy dogs were in the bungalow next to us all by themselves. It went on for an hour. Tried to call front desk, but they closed at 8PM. I called the Restaurant and they gave me a phone number, Hubby called and the woman said she would send her nephew and nobody ever turned up. 

 

Idiot neighbors finally came back. Dogs quit barking.

 

We watched TV. I went to bed at 10PM. Hubby went to bed at 11PM.
