UTAH

Spent some time in Utah this summer.
Wow! I had no idea how diverse and beautiful the area around Salt Lake City is.

The aspen forest was magical with a soft lush blanket of ferns.

Canyons galore, craggy jagged mountains that jut into the always blue sky. Dry hot. So much better than our humid drenching hot here in SC.

The land of LDS they say. Mormon country.

They have state alcohol stores where you have to buy your beer, wine and liquor....can't buy in the grocery store. Makes me feel a little sassy but... there are many great pubs tucked in various places.
Silver Fork Lodge in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Most of these places are ski resorts but it is sublime in the summer.

No Name Saloon in Park City. We had an excellent buffalo burger there.
Well, it was our birthday weekend so we lived it up...
We both did excellent in the gift dept.!


Water falls, vistas that reach forever, wild flowers and streams. It was lovely.



Is that a mountain goat? Oh it is just Kris.




Hung out with Kris Kornegay and had a marvelous time!

National Night Out


New police chief Tandy Carter (2nd from left in this pic) , his officers and Belinda Gergle join The Next Door Drummers at Melrose Park.
My neighborhood and sangban Tammy's too. It really is a great area to live in.
Love playing in the hood.

Lots of participation. It was fun!


Our drum group now goes by Next Door Drummers but there are mixed feelings about it. So we've been thinking about new names....
How bout:

Drumming with Cops
Drumming with Cops and Council

Ku Ku

Drum Skulls

or Ku Ku and The Drum Skulls

I think Drum Skulls is pretty good although I think Next Door Drummers really fits us well right now.
