longing for the mountains...

sitting here reminded how to stop and relax... patio waterfall at Taggerts grill in Taggert
*just past Morgan
for atmosphere, cleanliness etc. I give it an A.

summer flowers...eye candy
tucked in the lush mountain greenery.

Mr. and Mrs. Peacock lazily strut around
their territory...they are quite the friendly pair.


I'd been told about Taggart's grill for years
from you the customer.
I just didn't take "time out" to go.
I give it another A...on the food,
it's just all so good and priced just right.

For sure I'll go back for the beer batter fries...
(this is halibut in a soft pita bread)
my goodness, where have I been?
I don't think there is anything you could order
that you wouldn't love.
One dessert (okay, we tried the carrot cake) it's
big enough for 4.
you'll thank me for this recommendation
and I thank many of you for reminding me
of Taggerts.

Then onto Sundance...cause I really miss our cabin
(parents sold it last fall).
There's a vintage flair at the general store
and deli.

Before sundance how can you not shop the
outlets in Park city???

Our strong drinks of brewed root beer!

a river does run through it...
well, it was a babbling creek, which we loved
listening to it babble down the mountain
all night long.

This is one of the two restaurants
just so you get the general feel of Sundance.
Of course there is a ski tram.
Customer service is excellent.
If you check the rates, the weekdays seem
to be the least expensive and less busy.
(june is an "off season month too).

It was so peaceful and quiet.
Just what we were longing for.
And your only 20 mins. from Provo
if you like shopping etc.
I love to try new things...
now feel free to share what you have
been doing...

Grab a vintage cooler

Come grab our vintage cooler
for a prop rental if you must
(Mr. PROPrietor sure wanted to keep this)

And a crisp fresh green colored roses vintage tablecloth...
get the picture!


and do some hangin' out this summer
we have some fun props
and things for owning.

open today Monday 11-5:30

Our sons family moved out this past weekend after being here 10 months,
they saved a nice amount to get themselves into a lovely home
just right for them.
(thank goodness they are in the same town 10 mins. away)

Doggy Kia was the last to go...
we will miss them.....and just maybe the doggy too.

It's really quiet.
Not sure we love that.
I'd much rather see the cutest 2 year olds smiley face
and listen to him learn how to talk,
and watch him learn new things and even throw tantrums and scream.
(yes screaming is cute when it's not your own child)

Plus listening to a 10 year olds...
bounce .bounce .bounce the basketball
hour upon hour
and rolling my eyes at that fake wrestling he loves so much,
looking at his face in a video game and watching favorite tv shows together
going to movies and burger bar...
than peace and quiet every day.

But that's how life is...
and we become empty nesters ONCE AGAIN.
With 40 years of marriage sneaking up on us.

I loved my beautiful, most pleasant, patient daughter in law
who cleaned up the kitchen and more after us,
and enjoyed learning who she is,
I learned alot from her,
she is a gift to our family.

We will not miss our sons:
lots of cheese, ice cream, cokes, chips, bags of candy,
pizza's,  hot dogs & hamburgers...you get it, cause I can go on and on!
Heaven help him...
cause I can't!

Now there's a good chance we can get back to some weight loss!
hallelujiah
the temptation is gone, right???

fathers day 2013

a day with my father 2013
85 yrs old
there is a house and yard full of their 5 children with their children
and their children...
and that's what he wanted for Fathers day...
a chicken barbeque.

still making his rock pictures
sitting at a rock machine hour upon hour when it's too hot to be outside,
never wasting a minute
life's to precious to him
and creates each rock to make a design.
now that's "rock love" and patience.


Enjoy the dog days of summer, your family 
GO GRAB A COOLER!

Here a prop. There a prop.


Prop #1
can you tell what it is?
It WAS the cutest wheelbarrow ever made picket fence style.
Mr. Prop-rietor wanted to make it sturdy for your renting of it,
and has now placed a ton of screws so it will hold up for some time.

Prop #2
Roses Iron chair
This chair doesn't stand alone, it has 3 sisters
and a huge round glass roses table to match.
You can rent one... or the whole family.

Prop # 3
Large wooden birdcage
Prop out your wedding displays etc. with lots of vintage white.
With a  nice display inside, people placing money envelopes into,
sure to make an exciting look.


It's not just Any birdcage...
we do VINTAGE prop rentals
it has brass door knobs for it's feet.

Props # 4
vintage white sewing machine drawers
open and closed
openings in the top for florals etc,
make for some pretty display pieces.

Prop #5
Antique etched mirror in the making
center will be a pin board.
For once I showed a "before" photo!

Prop #6
French chippy paint window
working to bring it in too.

There's  more in the shop lined up on the counter runway.

So why you're thinking of what to do with some of these Prop pieces...
we will be thinking of the Prop-er way to rent them out to you!

Coming soon...
Vintage props with Patina at Just a bed of roses
(that's not the name yet, just so you get the right idea).

We will be opened this week
Thursday and Friday
with it being Fathers day this sunday
we will be closed this SATURDAY
unless otherwise stated here on the blog.
( my son just closed on his new home today so I better be
around to help out)

Have a great Fathers day week-end
