Carl and I drove along the Columbia River Gorge in scenic Oregon yesterday. It was so green and beautiful. We climbed to the very top of Multnomah Falls, the 2nd largest year-round waterfall in the U.S.

SEVEN THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME, AND MAYBE DON'T CARE TO KNOW...
OK, Anna, you asked for it.
#1. When I was little, my mom found me outside knee-deep in a mud hole full of water. I was completely naked but having a great time. I think I was about 3 but could have been 9 or 10. :) Lindsay inherited this fondness for being naked and ran through Yeager's sprinklers without her suit at an early age.
#2. In about 4th grade, my best friend Janet and I let Michael F. and Bruce T. find out we were staying after school so they could chase us (and maybe try to kiss us). When they caught us and tried to kiss us on the cheek, we acted shocked and slapped them.
#3. I went to a "hop" at Clearfield High for my 1st date with Carl. When he called to ask me, I was already hanging out with my friend Alene, her friend Richard, and Robert, a guy I had been dating (a little). So I just told them I had a date with Carl Blair and I had to go. They didn't take it well, but it worked out well for me.
#4. I twirled the baton in parades from Roy to Brigham when I was about 8 years old. I wore a glittery, sequined costume. I must have been a vision to behold...
#5. Carl and I took disco dancing lessons when I was 24. After our 6 lessons, we went to the Upper Level disco in Clearfield one Fri. night and discovered the music was 100% faster than anything we had practiced with.
#6. In Hawaii, I had my picture taken with Rihanna when Smith's flew us there to see her concert. We didn't know who she was, so we went out to dinner instead of going to the concert.
#7. I am safety certified with Utah State Off Highway Vehicles to drive a 4-wheeler. No Kidding!
