A Birthday, more salt, job search and a Nevada Taco Truck

Lets start with some good news (not that there is any bad news, really.)

On Sunday night I'll be going in for a training so that I can start as a wellness screener at health clinics.  The hourly pay is very good, and I am scheduled M-F next week.  The work won't be consistent, but I'm happy to have something while I look for permanent positions.

Last weekend (my birthday weekend) we drove to Stansbury Island in search of petroglyphs.  We couldn't find them.  This marks the second time in my life in which a petroglyph search yielded no return (see Panama 2012).  

Since we were half way to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover, Utah, we decided to go.  They were pretty neat, and we were able to take our shoes off and walk in the salt (which was under about 3 inches of water.)  We took a few pictures and headed back to the car (it was pretty hot, with no shade).  

Since we were right on the Nevada border we decided to drive across.  We immediately saw a casino, liquor store, and XXX lingerie store.  Luckily there was a taco truck in the parking lot of said underwear store, so we each had two before heading back to Salt Lake.

The following day we drove up to Park City to have a look at their Sunday Market.  We bought 2 iced coffees while we walked and an avocado-pistacio popsicle.  It was pretty good.

We then drove to Kamas, ate lunch at a little diner, then walked around Mirror Lake.  It was a nice day. (any time a hike is not "uphill", I typically have a good time ;)

The birds have been plowing through the seed in the feeder like its going out of style.  Every so often I'll skip a day of filling it, but I always feel bad when I see them looking for the seed.  

Ryan is taking is ACLS test right now, he studied a lot last night.  While he studied I made our favorite soup...Rachel Ray's Corn and Salsa Tortilla Soup.  We make it every summer and it never disappoints.  

And thats about all thats new so far!  Ill be coming back to Canfield the first week of September to celebrate my Grandparents' 60th Wedding Anniversary.  Looking forward to it!
