Groundbreaking and health

I

had the opportunity to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Utah County Association of Realtors building on west Center Street in Orem this morning. It was a lot of fun and they had a great turn out. The speakers were Taylor Oldroyd, who is the CEO of the association (and my cousin!), Kenny Parcell who is the president of the association this year, Jerry Washburn (a shirt-tail cousin) and the Mayor of Orem and Gary Herbert who is the lieutenant governor. Gary and I have been friends for over 30 years and he mentioned me by name a couple of times in his talk. They had 10 gold shovels and 10 hard hats and had a couple of different groups of 10 do the digging and get their pictures taken. They also got Kenny and Taylor on a giant Caterpillar Track-Hoe and let them dig a little. A bunch of title companies and other affiliates were there with food, treats, etc. The weather cooperated and a great time was had by all!!

I went to lunch with Rob Wiseman, a long time friend of mine, and his son Teldon. They are in the insurance business in Provo and wanted to talk to me about Jeep Safari and this very Blog!! They are thinking about buying an old Jeep Cherokee like mine and building it up to take to Moab. We also talked about various health issues we have and I told them a little about MonaVie, this great Acai berry drink I have been on for about 4 months - more on that later.

We also talked about racquetball - my favorite form of exercise and bicycling - Rob's choice for exercise.

I added a couple of Jeep pics from Moab - I will practice and learn how to do this a little better but this will do for now!
