The NEAL way in MIDWAY



So this past weekend was my family reunion. We try to get together with everyone every other year. We are finding that as we and our kids get older the tougher it is to schedule a time when all can be there.



This year we went to Midway and had a wonderful time although many were unable to come. We had a fun scramble golf tournament that Stetson headed up, floated the Provo River in kayaks and spent time in Park City.



Some of us had more gray hair then the last time we met and we all discovered that we are definately getting older. The best part was that my mom and dad surprised us all by giving us all 2 DVD's that they had transferred all our old family movies on to. We LOVED IT!! I love my family!!!

A MIRACLE READ FOR ME!



Calling all concerned citizens and friends! If you are like me you are sick and tired of our government taking over pretty much everything. This past spring/summer as been ANOTHER total nightmare as the government continues to interfere with my job as a realtor. I can only imagine how the car dealers are feeling at this point.

A business associate and dear friend suggested that I read the book written by W. Cleon Skousen, The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle that Changed the World. He even offered to give me a copy with this challenge: "If you agree with anything in this book, you will agree to buy 10 more books and give them out with the same challenge."

So I finished the book and met up with him over the weekend to make good on my commitment and are handing the books out gladly. Then I thought "What better way then to post it on my blog so that perhaps others who I might forget to ask can ASK ME for a FREE copy"!

I learned so much in this book about the philosphy and struggles the founding fathers went through in order to establish this country and the constituition. It was a wake up call for me as none of this was ever taught in school. I also realized how far our leaders over the past 80 years have taken us away from those founding principals.

It was a great MIRACLE for me to learn and now my quest is to share it with others. I then read last week "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark R. Levin" and have just purchased "Common Sense by Glenn Beck" and "The Making of America also by W. Cleon Skousen."

It is time for us to take a stand and we must be educated before we can be effective. So call me or email me if you would like this gift from me or if you have already read any of these books I would love to hear from you.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO OUR FRIENDS THE EHATS!



We enjoyed a fun ATV ride with our friends Andrew & Lori Ehat on Saturday. We drove up to the top of Fairview Canyon to a staging area near Hunington Resevoir.



Monte always looks so cute in his riding jersey!We rode a loop almost 35 miles long. The weather was perfect!



When we arrived at Potters Pond we felt like we were at the top of the world...almost at 10,500 feet!



We ate a yummy lunch and saw tons of gorgeous scenery. On the way home we stopped in at the metropolis Fairview and ate at the Cafe! Unfortunately Andrew didn't order the beef because the waitress didn't know the cut or how it was cooked. I can't believe the San Fransiscan ordered the fish and chips...frozen cod of course...tee hee!

Thanks for a fun day Ehats and letting us be a part of your celebration!
