Show Under the Eaves B&B (Deb and Steve) From: To: Sent SUbject: "Maureen Bottimore" <mbottimore@hotmail.com> <OTooleS@$outhemUtah .com> Wednesday, August 28,200212:49 PM YOU HAVE MY OLD HOUSE!!! I AM GETTING READY FOR A VISIT TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD .. .IMAGINE MY SHOCK WHILE LOOKING FOR MOTELS IN SPRINGDALE ON THE WEB, RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES POPS UP A PICTURE OF THE HOME MY PARENTS OWNED BACK IN THE 60'S ... WE LIVED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA & MY FOLKS LOVED ZION NAT'L PARK. ON ONE OF OUR TRIPS THERE MANY YEARS AGO THEY SAW A HOME FOR SALE THAT THEY LOVED AND BOUGHT IT ... WE WOULD SPEND SEVERAL WEEKS THERE IN THE SUMMER, CHRISTMAS AND EARL Y SPRING. DURING THE SUMMER WHEN MY PARENTS WENT BACK HOME I SPENT SIX OR SEVEN WEEKS LIVING WITH BISHOP DAN WINDER & HIS F AMIL Y. I REMEMBER WHEN BUMBLEBERRY INN WAS GRANDMA'S KITCHEN, HAD A GRANDMA SITTING IN A ROCKING CHAIR OVER THE IRRIGA nON DITCH (LONG AGO COVERED UP) OUR HOUSE FACED THE WATCHMAN (OF COURSE YOU KNOW THAT) & I SPENT MANY DAYS WATCIllNG THE MOUNTAIN CHANGE & MANY NIGHTS LISITING TO THE THUNDER BOUNCE AROUND IN THE CANYON. I WAS SO SORRY AFTER MY FATHER PASSED A WA Y THAT MY MOTHER SOLD IT TO THE EXCEL FAMIL Y ...!T HAS BEEN ABOUT 15 YEARS SINCE I VISITED SPRINGDALE BUT I MUST DAY "MY HOME" LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT DID! !IT'S 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 OLD PICTURES OF THE AREA. I AM SORRY FOR GOING ON & ON BUT SEEING YOUR B & B ON THE WEB JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY & BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, MAUREEN SHAY BOTTIMORE ***EMAIL MJ3QI TLI\1QB£@HOTh1AIL.COM 8128/02 |
