Week 1

Picture of granddaughter Wendi, me, and daughter Dawn in front of The Red Pig, famous for North Carolina barbecue in Johnson City.  Picture taken by Dawn's husband Ronnie in honor of my "going away" before I headed out on my 18 day adventure, visiting friends and son Warren en route to 2 1/2 months in Zion National Part, aka "Peg In The Park".

Now that my Instructor Bryan has updated my Blog lesson, I'll see if I can catch up with my adventure and show you, my friends, what I have been experiencing for the past 3 weeks.  In the meantime, there is a Ranger program in an hour and a half that is a 'must see'....titled "Starry Nights'.  They will have a telescope to see the stars and planets like I've never seen before (even better than Warner Park, Nashville, Jennie).  The scuddlebutt is that southern Utah is second only to somewhere in Australian for lack of 'light polution' to see the stars and planets.

Stay tuned...I'm on a whirl...maybe tonight with stars in my eyes and maybe tomorrow before I check in for my first day's employment at Zion Lodge Gift Shop.         Peg
