More Time in Utah

Hello, We went to two of Nora’s soccer games. The first was held on a beautiful day with a loss, but some good playing by Nora. We traveled a bit of a distance to get to the game. We went past the Park City exit in the rain, but it was clear when we arrived at the destination. I can say I was happy to have Miriam drive in the mountains. I do not like racing down. I am not sure why it is such a goal to get to places as fast as one is able. I am grateful for brakes that work along with the rest of the vehicle, but others driving behind me might get disgusted with the lack of daring. The second game was a rain game. It was not a Midwest thunder storm, but rather a gentler affair that was ok with a jacket and umbrella. This game was so close and at the end, one of the girls on her team was fouled and she kicked a winning goal just a second before the whistle blew for the end of the game. What excitement! This game was also a good distance from home, but in the opposite direction. Again, Nora played well. I learned they can run in the rain. Olivia, who now has her driver’s license, took us for a ride in her car. I was quite comfortable with her skill. We also got to see the place where she works. Close to that was a swollen stream rushing by from the snow melt in the mountains. Certainly, if one fell in that water, it would be the end of the vacation. Olivia was at work on several days while we were there. School also took her away for much of the day. Nora has a job in the neighborhood so she also worked after school. These girls are not idle much of the time. Between school, work, swimming for one and soccer for the other they have to keep a schedule. Both of them like to read so they got some of that done as well as spending time with us. Paula
