Whoa... major catch-up time. I'm afraid I ended up getting in waaaay too late every night while I was in Utah for the SF&F Symposium (there was filksinging every night) and never got around to posting anything and then, of course, I was behind and it seemed a bit daunting to get caught up!
Wednesday the 13th I flew down to Utah for Life, the Universe and Everything 31 (a number guaranteed to make me feel old, since I ran LTUE 9 when I was in college) and got to visit with my in-laws for the week! This time, I stayed in ( Rackham's old bedroom! )
The next day, I was really happy to see there didn't seem to be an inversion going in the valley, meaning everything was really quite clear (and I wouldn't have to worry about too much pollution). I took this photo from the front porch of![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tomte's mom's house ( looking out across the valley. )
On Friday the 15th, I met up with my mother-in-law and one of my sisters-in-law (the one who dared me into asking her brother out in the first place) for lunch at ( the Museum of Art at BYU. )
On Saturday, I snapped another shot while on my way to the last day of the Symposium, showing off the beautiful clear blue skies... this time with ( the Wasatch Mountain Range in the distance. )
On Sunday, we had a big family dinner for everyone who was in town to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday! Since she'd requested German Chocolate Cake, I was asked to come up with a dessert for those of us whose allergies wouldn't let us eat any... and I ended up having to figure out what we could throw together with what we happened to have on hand (because I'd spent so much time at the Symposium, Sunday had sort of sneaked up on me), keeping in mind it couldn't have peanuts, tree nuts, milk, corn byproducts or strawberries.
( So I made faux peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. )
