Heber
Thanksgiving 2013
We left for Utah after David finished at the hospital, getting on the road at 5 p.m. What lay ahead was a 10-hour drive with a full car and a fussy baby. The welcome home hugs we got at 4 in the morning (yes, the family stayed up to welcome us) were well worth the … Continue reading
A Christmas Surprise
Santa sure had a few surprises in store this year. And by Santa, I mean Sarah and Dave. We had been hiding a little secret since just after Thanksgiving and thought that Christmas would be the perfect time to pop the news to family. There was a little gift on the way that would turn … Continue reading
Heber Valley Parade
It’s been a small town summer. This Heber annual tradition was no exception. Beneath the shade of the O’Brien Auto Parts sign we enjoyed dancing horses, flipping gymnasts, the smiles of local dignitaries and the made up beauty queens of good old Heber. All while marchers threw candy, soda and t-shirts in droves. David scored … Continue reading
Taking his First “Step”
On July 17th, it was go time. Two years of medical school plus 69 days of relentless studying must now leak out onto an 8-hour test that would determine David’s professional possibilities FOREVER. No pressure, right? I am embarrassed to say that the last thing I said before he disappeared into the testing center was, “Did you … Continue reading
It’s all fun and games until someone gets shot
Heber City’s Great Birdy Bloodbath started innocently enough when a new sheriff swaggered into town. A popgun hanging from his hip and a boyish grin dancing on his lips, he yearned for a little adventure in his otherwise humdrum life. So when the Starlings started causing trouble for the local Robbins, he polished up his pellet gun … Continue reading
We like to shoot things
David picked up the pellet gun Monday night for a little fun with the starlings. They were stealing the worms mid air from the Robbins so it was time for them to DIE! After about 20 shots and a lot of taunting from the bird, he finally got one.
Classic
Heber went “Back to the ’50s” on Saturday with a classic car show in the park. While it was no Hot August Nights, the event reminded me a little of home. This was the 19th time that the collection of classic cars from around Utah had parked themselves for display on the lawn of the … Continue reading
My Heber Hummingbird Friend
The back porch has become my favorite place here at the house and many hours are spent reading in the sunshine. It isn’t rare for a few “flighty friends” to drop by and eat the birdseed and sip on the sugar water. Here is one little fellow who decided to study with me today … … Continue reading
What’s happening in Heber
I am convinced that every little town has something special about it. The sleepy farmville of Heber City is no exception. So off exploring I go! 11,362 people plus two vagabond Glenns live in this little part of the Wasatch Mountain Range. Driving into town requires a long, lazy ramble along Heber’s main street – … Continue reading
