John washing the bus in Green River. We went to the John Wesley Powell River History Museum, but it was closed to day for cleaning. This is the cement bas relief on the front of the museum of John Wesley Powell in a tiny wooden dory in the Grand Canyon rapids.

Green River is known for their yummy melons and squash. We say melons we had never heard of, like this huge banana squash. We got an Israely and a Canary melon, both really sweet.  Beautiful downtown historic Green River, Utah.

The bus at he Mountain View motel and RV park in Wellington, Utah. When John was putting out the bedroom slide there was a big crack and it quit moving. Of course the mechanism is under the mattress, so the mattress moved to the hall and John took the bed apart. He did get the slide back in, mostly with the hand crank. What a man!  He found two loose bolts, one with stripped threads. We won’t use that slide till we get it fixed. But we can still use the bed.

The saga of the two baskets. First I made this lovely lid with a piece of dichroic glass I made.Then the bottom I made was too tiny. So I made a new smaller lid for the bottom basket. Then I made a bigger bottom for the glass lid and ta do- they both look lovely.

I learned a new stitch and added it to my aspen leaf piece. Downtown historic Price , Ut. It is next to Wellington, we drove through to check it out.

I made some nice multigrain bread while John was fixing the slide. Yum.
