Bringing This Blog Up-to-Date from April to June

Pur Pool Water

Theron and Shanna were busy the month of May running our business, Pur Pool Water.  We had three pools a week, steady.  That was all Theron wanted to do and it was enough to keep us busy.  When we purchased this business, it was with the intent on selling it - just bring it to St. George and have it around.  One evening, we invited Steve Harker, our neighbor from across the street, to dinner (His wife, Marlene, was in Hawaii taking care of her father.) and we mentioned we wanted to sell our business.  He said he knew a fellow that was interested.  Sure enough, his friend, Kevin Dueck, called us the next day and the rest is history.

He started going with us on the jobs and learning the business.  He started looking for funding.  He had his kids come look at the website and he looked at all our information.  By June 20, 2023, we had sold this little business.  Glad to get rid of it; but sad in a way to see it go.  It was fun meeting so many people and seeing the diversity that is around us.  Theron will continue to give technical support and we talk to him often.  We smile when he is having success!

The payment of the business let us pay off the new fifth wheel trailer and the Tesla.  It's now one of the few times we have been totally debt free.  If I can give advice to our children - get out of debt, get out of debt.

Bryce Canyon

On June 6 - 10, we pulled our trailer to Bryce Canyon.  Adrian was with us and Todd came a couple of days later.  Adrian had tickets to the Piano Guys outdoor concert there.

We took our electric bikes.  We had wanted to ride their bike trail for a number of years and this was a great opportunity to do so.  Adrian rented a bike and we rode about 20 miles.  It was so fun to be out on a bike again.

The next day, Theron and Adrian rode the mules into the canyon.  I have given up riding mules because of the rods in my back.  Well, they liked it so much that they scheduled a ride for the next day so Todd could go with them.  Two days of back to back riding.

This was really the first time we had spent much time at Bryce and it is a beautiful canyon and a wonderful place to camp.  As with all trips, there was a major accident, I did a fire dance around the fire pit - I didn't trip but I really racked my knee up.  I wore a brace for a few days and it has started to feel better.

When we left Bryce, Todd and Adrian came back and stayed with us for a few days.  They had Tuacahn tickets and Todd was able to work from our office.  It was a delightful time and warm days and nights.
