A FEW 'BLASTS FROM THE PAST'

THE KIVA COFFEE HOUSE NEAR CANNONVILLE, UTAH

A picturesque snowy morning with large snowflakes lazily floating to the ground.  That is common here in our Park, where the wind doesn't always get in to blow the snow around.  I don't think I've ever seen a snowdrift in here.  Winter's snow just gently piles up.  With the dismal grey weather outside (38F with a wind chill of 26F) and the snow turning to sleet and rain, the day didn't lend itself to doing anything outside.  We spent some time cleaning some lower kitchen cabinets.  Can you say e.x.c.i.t.i.n.g.?? No, I couldn't either!!  I didn't take any pictures today, but Facebook tossed me a photo (Utah's Kiva Coffee House) of where The Bayfield Bunch was and what they were doing 18 years ago at this time. (2007)  Kelly and I, along with our three dogs, Max, Checkers, and Cora (Motormouse) were exploring an area in southern Utah, southeast of Bryce Canyon and Cannonville.  Driving along a highway kind of out in the middle of nowhere one day, we came across an odd-looking round building.  Didn't see any cars around, so we pulled in for a look-see.  We often did that with aging abandoned buildings, ghost towns, or old cemeteries.  There was nobody around, and the cozy-looking building seemed to be closed.  We peeked in the windows, and it looked really nice inside.....But, wait a minute, I wrote a blog about that back then, so let me tell you about this in a segment I often refer to as a 'Blast From Our Past'.  The following posts are from that day, and a few accompanying days while we were in the area.....................

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The room was full of pregnant women and their partners, and the Lamaze class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, along with informing the men how to give the necessary assurances at this stage of the plan.  The teacher then announced, "Ladies, exercise is GOOD for you! Walking is especially beneficial. And, Gentlemen, it wouldn't hurt YOU to take the time to go walking with your partner!"  The room really got quiet. Finally, a man in the middle of the group raised his hand.  "Yes?" replied the teacher.  "Is it all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"

Customer: "I've been calling 700-1000 for two days and can't get through. Can you help?"
Operator: "Where did you get that number, sir?"
Customer: "It's on the door of your business."
Operator: "Sir, those are the hours that we are open."

A Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden "Look at their reserve, their calm," muses the Brit. "They must be British." "Nonsense," the Frenchman disagrees. "They're naked, and so beautiful. Clearly, they are French." "No clothes, no shelter," the Russian points out, "they have only an apple to eat, and they're being told this is paradise. They are clearly Russian."
