Weekend w/ Mom

This Saturday my Mom came up to visit. She got here Saturday afternoon and with cheese curd in hand, we started off our weekend. Honestly, we didn't do too much with the weird weather and Victoria's weird fever. Seriously, she ranged from 101-105 at one point in the middle of the night. That was all she had though, so we just gave her ibuprofen to help the fever and kept an eye on her.
But Monday, we had a plan for the day. We woke up to more snow - shocker! Victoria was staying home from school and Chris took off from work to stay with her so my mom & I could head up to Logan.
You see, Mom is an AVID quilter - seriously...she is always sewing something. So the purpose of our trip was to get her Bernina machine serviced. We got up there around 10 am, which was actually pretty good considering the snowy roads going through the canyon. The guy there was so nice! He took her machine right in & got to work. He knew she had come from Cedar so he gave her priority so we didn't have to come back home in between & back again.
We spent almost a good hour in there just looking through fabric. I resisted the temptation to buy any. We then took a walk up to see the Logan Temple. We were hoping to be able to go through a session but had found out that it is closed all day on Mondays. So we just walked around and took some pictures as we chatted.

We then headed off to have a little lunch. We stopped at the Copper Mill Restaurant in town. Yummers! They serve raspberry jelly with freshly baked rolls - every time! (They actually seated us at the very same table that Chris & I sat at when we were there last year celebrating our anniversary. What are the odds of that?)

After a delicious lunch we headed back to pick up the machine & then head back. We had seen a little honey store on our way into town, so we decided to stop by there on our way home. It was such a cute little shop! They even had a honey tasting station. I ended up getting a bucket of cache valley honey and a honey bear with Pomegranate flavored honey. It was so good. We are going to see if having local honey helps alleviate the bad allergy symptoms that Chris & Christianna get. I will let you know!

Pomegranate honey! Sounds fab. Can you save me a dallop for when I come out at the end of the month?? (Maybe you can store it in a plastic baggie. he he)

mmmm...pomegranate honey sounds delish! One of my favorite flavors of honey is organic eucalyptus honey from Whole Foods.
