I went down to the Provo Farmer’s Market this morning to get some fresh eggs, tasty bread (this time I got artichoke-spinach bread) and visit a friend’s booth. While there I found $20 on the ground and decided I better spend it all at the market. So I bought $9 of smoked cheddar from Salina, Utah, some fresh eggs, a second loaf of country style bread and a three cheese empanada.

The cheese is so good. You have know idea. It is the best smoked cheddar I’ve ever eaten. They take 1 year old cheddar and soak it in wine and spices and then smoke it on apple wood. Oh, man. So, good! If you live in Provo you should make your way down there for some tasty treats. My friend runs a bicycle powered snow-cone machine, so stop by and visit him. Fresh produce makes such good food.

Last weekend I got to go to Oregon for a mini-reunion with all the gals I grew up with. I would like to say that we did more than dress-up 24 hours a day for most of my childhood, but that would be a lie.

A significant portion of high school was spent dressing up like the Spice Girls. One night we found out we had a snow day the next day and had a 24-hour Spice Girls Bonanza.

Behold:

Here is the very same crew 12 YEARS later:

Not many people can say that they are still friends with their 5th grade friendgroup at thirty! (yes, I am wearing a Spice Girls t-shirt) I think we haven’t changed a bit. It is so fun to see what everyone is doing now that we’re old.

The highlight of the weekend was watching the Spice Girls music videos we made back in the day. You should be sad I have sworn not to put copies up on the internet, because they are PRICELESS!

Here are some shots with our new(er) friends from Iraq rafting on Sat. in Utah.

We floated the Provo River to celebrate our freedom.

We also met our new-est friends this week. They are from from Dubai. (no, I did not photoshop their faces, the face-garb is part of their everyday outfits)

Make new friends, but keep the old… one is silver & the other’s gold!

Hooters Restaurant in Texas.

In college, Pamy and I decided to drive from Utah to DC & back to take pictures of a poster-sized, framed picture of Vanilla Ice posing with a Book of Mormon.

Ah, the good ol’ days.

I found these photos while digging around my Mom’s house looking for goodies to take to a reunion with my childhood friends this weekend. More specifically, I was on the hunt for a video tape we made on a “snow day” vacation of Spice Girls videos, including interviews w/ fake British accents. I did find it, but alas VHS is keeping me from basking in its glory just yet.

But, luckily I found this ultimate tribute to the fact that I had way too much freedom and disgretionary income as a youngster:

Petrified Forest, Arizona.

The Grand Canyon, with Hippy Jimmy, a random hitchhiker we picked up in the desert with only a drum on his back.

Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. An apt tribute to the authors of the song, “Take it to the limit, one more time” which was pretty much our motto for 4 years. Taking it to the limit for a good joke, that is.

Waffle Dank, with the promising youth of Arkansas.

Oral Roberts, perhaps the only University more conservative than BYU in the US of A.

Vanilla and Elvis kickin’ it at Graceland, where my love of Elvis was born. GO THERE, and discover for yourself… that he IS ALIVE!

Pamy’s dad posing as a Senator in DC.

Niagra Falls, New York-no that is not photoshopped.We don’t cut corners!

Pamy in Chicago, Illinois.

Top of the Sears Tower, Chicago.

World’s Biggest Buffalo, North Dakota.

Sneaking into the World’s Biggest Buffalo after hours.

Fryn’ Pan, Fargo, ND.

Man, we were two funny freaks.

We went down to Southern Utah for a family reunion of Neil’s mom’s side of the family. It was a whirlwind trip, but well worth it.

We got to take a peep into Byrce Canyon National Park.

Neil got some good shots, as always.
