Initially it was quite a shock. For the last month I had been telling the people of Cambodia and Thailand that I come from the desert portion of Utah. I would Google pictures of Zion National Park, Snow Canyon, the Grand Canyon to give them an idea of the Beautiful dry climate of my home. As I was sweating profusely (I can't even say that it was a feminine glistening...I was out and out dripping from the high heat and humidity during the hottest time of the year there- think 107 degrees PLUS humidity) I tried to explain that it gets hot in St George- like the 107* we were experiencing, but that the heat of St George is dry- feels more like being in a blow dryer.
That is probably why it was so unexpected upon my return... to come home to a pleasantly cool 70-80 degree high and a very Lush and Green scenery. People...I have lived in St George most of my life, and I don't ever remember St George being so Green!! It has been breathtaking to me.
It got me to thinking that even though I love to travel (It's the gypsy in my bones) I am so happy to call this little Oasis called St George- HOME!

Welcome Home!!! You've Been Missed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny! Sad I missed the reunion. Any chance you will be calling St George "home" in the next 10 years? ;)
ReplyDeleteMegan & I were just talking about how fun it is to travel, but always such a wonderful place to come home to.
ReplyDeleteI agree Mrs. Lay ;) And I am so proud of you for how well you support the going ons of St George with your 2 little guys! You are a great example!
