First May in Utah

We completed our first month of true retirement and have accomplished quite a few things. We moved into a new home in Price, UT,
 
 
Went sight seeing and hiking with the family in Little Wild Horse Canyon,
 
Installed new quartz counter tops in the kitchen,
 
Celebrated a first birthday with Alexa,
 
Commemorated Memorial Day with the family by visiting the cemetery,
 
Finally found the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep after several attempts to see them, and
 
Drove 100 miles, one way, on a dirt road to see the ranch where Wayne's ancestors had a cattle ranch on the Arizona Strip.
 
 
This picture does not do justice to how dirty we were when we returned. We were very, very dusty!
 
We are looking forward to getting totally unpacked. We still need to figure out how to run the sprinklers for the lawn (or how to make some of the lawn into xeriscape). We are enjoying being closer to more family members and look forward to upcoming visits. We miss our family, friends and familiar surroundings in Virginia.
