I AM GETIING READY FOR A VISIT TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN TIlE WORLD...IMAGINE MY SHOCK WHILE LOOKING FOR MOTELS IN SPRINGDALE ON THE WEB, RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES POPS UP A PICTURE OF TIlE HOME MY PARENTS OWNED BACK IN THE 6O'S... WE LIVED IN SOUTIIERN CALIFORNIA & MY FOLKS LOVED ZION NATL PARK. ON ONE OF OUR 1RIPS THERE MANY YEARS AGO TIlEY SAW A HOME FOR SALE mAT TIIEY LOVED AND BOUGHT IT... WE WOULD SPEND SEVERAL WEEKS TIIERE IN THE SUMMER, CHRIS1MAS AND EARLY SPRING. DURING THE SUMMER WHEN MY PARENTS WENT BACK HOME I SPENT SIX OR SEVEN WEEKS LIVING WITH BISHOP DAN WINDER & HIS FAMILY. I REMEMBER WHEN BUMBLEBERRY INN WAS GRANDMA'S KITCHEN, HAD A GRANDMA SITflNG IN A ROCKING CHAIR OVER THE IRRIGATION DITCH (LONG AGO COVERED UP) OUR HOUSE FACED THE WATCHMAN (OF COURSE YOU KNOW THA1) & I SPENT MANY DAYS WATCHING THE MOUNfAIN CHANGE & MANY NIGHTS LISITING TO THE TIIUNDERBOUNCE AROUND IN THE CANYON. I WAS SO SORRY AFfER MY FATHER PASSED AWAY THAT MY MOTIIER SOLD IT TO THE EXCEL FAMILY..JT HAS BEEN ABOUT 15 YEARS SINCE I VISITED SPRINGDALE BUT I MUST DAY "MY HOME" LOOKS SO MUCH BEITER THAN IT DID! !ITS BEAUTIFUL. I AM HOPING TO COME IN MID OCTOBER (STILL CHECKING OUT LODGEING) BUT I HOPE IT WILL BE OK IF I COME SEE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS YOU HAVE MADE. I WILL BRING YOU OLDPIClURES OF TIlE AREA. I AM SORRY FOR GOING ON & ON BUT SEEING YOUR B & B ON THE WEB JUST TOOK MY BREATII AWAY & BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. 1HANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, MAUREEN SHAY BOTTIMORE .. ·EMAIL MBOTTIMORE@HOTMAIL.COM 8118/02 |
