Yes, a tornado right in downtown Pleasant Grove.
We chose eggnog and pumpkin tornados. They were both good, but we wound up liking the other's selection more than our own--funny huh?. This was the last of the 12 year old trips to the Purple Turtle for this generation...sad. But now I suppose I'll try to take mommy every once in a while.
The next day Hannah and I rode up from Sandy to conference on the Trax commuter train--more fun. Between sessions we walked around looking for food in the rain under an umbrella. All of the old places to eat across the street by Temple Square are now gone!

Some September Serendipities
Some new pics to add to the recent Arnott History making.
Well, to be honest I can't be sure about Justine's visit if this took place at the end of August or the beginning of September, but he was rather enjoying his nap. I don't think I could have...at least in that position.
The middle picture in the slide show is of workers harvesting almonds in the Sanger almond grove. Yup Arnott Poultry & Citrus Ranch is now also a Blue Diamond Grower! So that begs the question: are we just Arnott Poultry & Citrus Ranch now or something else? Anyway these guy went around tapping the branches with a 1/2 inche plastic pipe to bring the almonds down onto a black plastic tarp. They then dumped them into windrows in the middle of the grove for drying. Lastly they were picked up and taken for hulling. The man hour labor was a big cost. Next year they will do this all by machine--and I'll have more almonds hopefully.
Last slide is Hannah's birthday party. It was a swim party and it was hot enough for one--thanks global warming---jk. Hannah and friends had a good time.
