Snow Sculptures

 March 4, 2026

Brent and I went to see the snow sculptures.  We have had bitterly cold temperatures, so the sculptures have stayed nice and frozen this year.

Snow Pile

 February 26 2026

The plow trucks came by our neighborhood and piled the snow into a more compact pile.  It had been so spread out that it took up most of the cul-de-sac.  Now we have a huge mountain of snow.  The Pessetto children had a great time climbing up to the top.

More days in Utah

 December 4, 2025

Brent and I then spent another week with his mother. 

In the afternoon, Brent and I had lunch at a Georgian restaurant.  The people who own it are from Georgia and serve authentic Georgian food.  It was fun to eat there and compare it to what we ate on our visit to Georgia. 


Brent, Ella, and I attended Jacob's BYU jazz band concert.  Before the concert, we ate dinner at the new BYU Creamery.  We happened to be there on the opening day of the new location.  It is so nice and bigger than the old one. 


We flew back to Alaska on December 5.  We had a wonderful vacation and reunion with our children and grandchildren, and a nice visit with Brent's mother.
