Saturday afternoon we drove to Garland, Utah for the annual Fireman's Salmon Bake. The temperature was about 55 with a slight drizzle of rain...which is not fun to stand in for 3 1/2 blocks of people waiting to pay our $15.00 each! We passed the time teasing each other and making pencil rubbings of anything that would make a design....thanks to Alicia, she had lots of paper and a pencil.After waiting in line our group took up 2 full tables in the dinning hall! Look at all those people...Halie thinks there were thousands there!
Marcus and Stephanie brought their good friends Alicia and Daniel Coats. Daniel is a big eater.....
Our very good friends Lee and Robin Rhoades joined in the fun. Lee and Al went to high school together! This year they are on the committee for their 40Th year reunion....man you guys are old!
The people in the doorway are waiting to stand in line for food!
Dane and Donya brought along Donya's 2 children. Brady brought her family along as well.
Dane and Donya are always good to go when we invite them to do something....even at the last minute. What good sports!
Stephanie is elbowing Marcus for who knows what. Alicia's brother and father also joined in the feast.
Grandpa and Brevin ate up a whole salmon. We all needed a nap when we got home.
Sunday morning we got up mighty early.....7:15! Packed the car and drove to Loafer Canyon where the cabin is coming along nicely. The picture below is a drawing of what the cabin is almost going to look like. Julie has made lots of mods... good ones.....to the original plans. The lot is also more woodsy than this photo. It's only the idea I'm looking for here.
This is what the view will look like from the loft inside the cabin.
This is the great room (I think that is what they are called in today's vernacular).
This is a view from the east side of the cabin....facing the mountain side. Won't this be a beautiful place to relax?
Here is the actual work in progress. The basement is framed and now the flooring is going on for the main living area. Jack, Jeri, Jim, Jared and Julie are one hard working crew. My Jason and I are very good on lookers. Actually Jason is doing his share.....cooks, tends kids, takes pictures, and documents the progress. I think he said he even cut some rebar yesterday.....yes the heavy steel stuff used to reinforce concrete.
The log kit is arriving soon. They have a motor home on site that they have spent many nights in. I can't begin to tell you how beautiful the canyon is!
Sunday Phase II..............The BOYS are BACK in TOWN. Yes sirrree the Ogden Raptors are back. They are the rookie team for the LA Dodgers. We have been involved with the Raptors for 12 years now as a host family. We have had many many many many.....boys live in our home. Several are now playing in the MLB, while others continue to play in the minor league. Linquist Field has been under major renovation during the off season. This picture was taken from the top of the club house...it will now be an open seating deck...the view is awesome. Today we met with 16 of the boys who arrived. They filled out host family applications, had something to eat, toured the facilities and returned to their hotel for the evening. They will be going to their host families Wednesday evening.
Final days activity: ROOSTERS on 25th street happens to be one of my favorite places to eat. I suggested it to the guys as some place to have a nice dinner tonight. Roosters is a fine dining and brew pub in a turn-of-the century building on Historic 25th Street with outdoor dining featuring pasta, steak & seafood. They are open daily for lunch & dinner. I love their hummus platter appetizer....followed by a blackened salmon sandwich.

Roosters 25th Street Brewing Company is upscale, upbeat and eclectic. Originally housing everything from Chinese Laundries to Houses of Ill Repute (yes even in Utah)in the early 1900's, the restored buildings on Twenty-fifth Street now offer trendy shops, restaurants and clubs. 
Here is the quaint, 115-year-old building. Roosters includes an outdoor patio with weekly summer barbecues and a unique ambiance conducive to mingling with friends. Come join me, I think you'll find the dining experience invigorating.
Now the weekend is coming to a close....back to work tomorrow morning!
