Salt Lake City

I'm cozily ensconsed in what might be the nicest Radisson hotel rooms I've ever been in -- complete with gas burning fireplace, two queen size beds, and delicious chocolates. I've been in SLC since Sunday afternoon -- we (Linda, Carole & I) did a 5 day Lactation Consultant Prep Program here for a group of close to 40 participants.

I've not been to SLC for (mumble mumble) years when Marilou, Diane and I took a Westward Ho trip the summer between our junior and senior years in nursing school. All I remember from our one day here was swimming in the great Salt Lake (I think I have a picture of us) and visiting Temple Square.

The people here have been wonderful -- friendly and hospitable. They are used to lots of visitors as the skiing is great. So I hear, anyway. I've never been on a ski in my life.

The city is laid out in a grid -- amazingly easy to find your way around once you learn that North and South Temple run east and west, and East and West Temple run -- you guessed it, north & south.

I can't say too much for the food. In fact, the less said, the better. OTOH, the less I eat, the better.

I'm glad to be going home tomorrow -- as much as I love speaking -- I miss being home. Traveling gets old after awhile.

A week from today our family -- our ENTIRE family -- will be together in Jackson MS for Robbie & Tina's wedding.

That's one trip I can't wait to make!!
