Friends Reunion

Today we went to Dennis and Cheryl's new home for lunch and a nice visit. We hadn't seen them since our trip last summer together with the gang, nearly a year ago. Their home has a spectacular view of the city of St. George in the valley below and the red rock cliffs beyond. It is a lovely home, and they've done lots to make it their own. Dennis has been working on some projects, including making a beautiful sewing table and desk for the office. He has a workshop in the spacious three-car garage.

They took us on a tour of their community center--really a country club with opulent facilities (indoor and outdoor pool and spa, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, ballroom, weight rooms, aerobics room, billiards room, library .... The variety and number of activities advertised on posters and bulletin boards was impressive.



We walked around the campground and day use area, and we took a short hike up an interpretive trail to a scenic overlook with panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs. We're hoping to have a chance to hike some of the local trails, at least a short one down to the Virgin River.
