Park City Get Away

The girls joined us the last couple of days in Park City.  The plan was to let them ski a few days, but the snow was so crumby we decided to save our pesos.  We had a great time shopping, eating, poking around in the shops & galleries and hanging out in our room.  Much better than sitting in class!! (Right, girls?) Tracy had recommended this quaint little "hole in the wall" place to eat called Karleen's Uptown Fare.  It is located up at the very end of Main Street on the right hand side, under a hotel.  (A cute lady out walking her dog, Toto had to point it out to us.)  It was divine!  We loved it so much earlier in the week that we wanted to bring the girls back!  Great home cooking - they roast a turkey for sandwiches nearly daily and have amazing soups.  All the desserts are lined up in front of the register and you get to go pick out whatever you'd like after you finish lunch - of course for a price, but it was lovely.  The owner told us a funny story about "Sundance Film Festival".  In years past the have had to deal with the snobby stars who are so bossy and picky about how they want their sandwich and what they will or won't eat on it. So this year they actually hired a bouncer and only let the locals in!!  We LOVED that story. It made all those poor little rich people sooo angry - especially when they were getting some amazing coverage from the media.  We will definately be back!



The door height will give you a clue as to how tiny this place is.  The floor doesn't have an even spot anywhere!  Tiny little tables are tucked everywhere.  It's kind of like being in a little hobbit house.
I forgot the owners name, but here she is.
Stacey's Beet & Blue Cheese Salad was yummy!  
(Note the simplicity of the paper plates.)

A few items warrant real dishes such as the soup and the 
AMAZING Chocolate Cake! (Never had better.Ever.)


Emily found a hot seat...and Camber found a wet one.  
We sure had a sweet little get-away.

A Week in Park City and NOT Skiing??

I'm know that is a crazy thought for a lot of people, but for me it's a true statement. Mark has a conference here this week and the nice man invited me to come along! (BTW, the snow here is really crumby ice, ice, ice and only groomers this week - but the sunshine it GLORIOUS and Mark is just happy to have the capability to be up on the hill with all he has been through the past few weeks.) I am just savoring the peaceful, quiet time in this lovely little studio room we have here at The Canyons. My days consist of a much needed visit to the fitness room downstairs, gourmet omelets, shopping, reading, quilting and great evenings shared with Mark! It has been warm enough to sit out on the veranda and soak up the sun while reading. So nice. This room is very cozy, too. The time here is going fast and so I am keeping this short. I wanted to show you this neat quilt I am piecing this morning. I am calling it my Obama Inauguration Commemoration Quilt. I found this sweet fabric at the Red Rooster that is americana with a twist of Brown!! You never see brown with americana and I love the color combo. I love even more that (and I mean this with total respect!) it will represent for me, our cute, brown President! I have heard the sweetest stories of friends who attented the inauguration and have shared stories that brought tears to my eyes - about people who were there when Martin Luther King gave his speech and then were able to be there again for this momentous occassion. I LOVE AMERICA and all things patriotic. I am happy to be making this little throw this morning. Now - back to sewing. ;D






Just a peek at the quilt design. This is the easiest little quilt I have ever put together!

Think *SNOW*

Is someone a LITTLE hungry for ski season?  
Funny, funny Camber.
