Population 200 something......

That's right. The name of the place is Hanksville Utah. It's where my mom grew up and I lived until I moved here when I was 9. Well, the reason I bring it up is because I went there for a week and just got back on Monday night. I know, I know, it's not the Bahamas or anything but I had a GrEaT time. It is a sleepy little town {what does that even mean? I don't know, I've just heard the phrase when describing small places, so I figured I could use it while describing Hanksville.} I didn't know what time it was the whole time I was there. What time is it? I don't know, I'm kind of hungry so it might be a meal time....It's dirty and dusty and there is nothing to do. Maybe that's why it was nice. Ed had school so he stayed home but I took my kids, mom and my cousin Tiffani and her daughter Tatum. Tiffani's mom, Denise, who is my moms only brothers wife. Got it? She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer two years ago and she fought it like crazy but s0mewhat recently, the cancer was found in her brain. She fought some more after they found it in her brain but she is not doing well now and it was nice to go there while she was able to visit with us still. My moms sisters {minus my aunt sandra} who Tiff and I termed "the aunts" all came to hang out too. It was nice. So here are some pictures of the weekend.

Great post. Glad you got to see your family. I also liked the idea you gave in Relief Society on Sunday about life celebrations. How wonderful!

Do you remember a few years ago when they made it a "city"? Tim and I laughed so hard! No one new moved in, I guess they decided after all these years if it was a city it could be on a map?LOL
