Peppermint Chews, New Jeans & No Autumn Leaves

I had a brilliant idea for our Saturday. Drive up to Rainbow Gardens at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. A fun place to visit if you've never been and the only place that I know of that carry thesePeppermint Chews. They are full of pure peppermint oil - a natural nausea cure. I'm still doing the Queasy Pops but if I have to suck on another sour fruit-flavored sucker, well that might just make me nauseous. So I talked Nate into pulling himself away from his studying and taking a drive. We would pick up some Peppermint Chews, get some dress shoes for The Boy and take in the autumn colors in the canyon.

Well as women usually do, our errands turned more into shopping than sight-seeing (which Nate quickly reminded me of the fact). We stopped at Old Navy where Nate finally agreed to try on some jeans. You see, we both recently lost some lb's - he a significant amount - and still wearing all of his old clothes. He looks like a scarecrow because he has to cinch them up with his belt. He put on some new jeans and WOW!

By the time we had made all of our stops, it was dark and there was no way to see any of the changing leaves. Oh well, gas is expensive. At least I have my peppermint chews.
