I realized a lifelong dream to visit the Grand Canyon. Aimee and family included the Grand Canyon in their five week Sabbatical trek across the western US from Yellowstone to San Diego. I was delighted to tag along meeting up with them at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Excitement grew with Ralph, Laura with two girls, Melissa and family of five all joined us for the adventure. We just viewed from the top only taking a short hike to the arch. It was an amazing vista all enjoyed. Only two days but worth it. Aimee's family departed for Las Vegas and southern California while we drove back to Phoenix to catch flight to Salt Lake City with Laura. Ralph and I attended family history conference for our calling as Area Family History Advisors.

Next, we flew to Las Vegas to assist Tyler Howells and Elaine Layosa with the Cozy Earth Trade Show. It was very interesting with many international vendors stopping by expressing interest from far away places like Dubai and Tokyo. It was the first retail show as previous ones were geared more to personal sales. Many positive comments and much interest expressed. In general we're avoiding the national chains but Bed, Bath & Beyond did stop by to check us out. There were a few sales, but most will require follow up after the show. Our new shipment from China of bamboo sheets, silk and bamboo comforters finally arrived this week after delay from back order on fabric. These are great products with many benefits like thermal regulating and hypoallergenic plus cozy soft. Check out the website www.cozyearth.com.
