Welcome Visit from the Newlyweds

My grand daughter Emilee and her new husband Daniel are here for a 3 day visit. We are being careful not to hug, and WEAR MASKS when out. It's so fun to visit with FAMILY-sharing meals together, looking through old SCRAPBOOKS, looking at old photos online, visiting, playing games, exploring our empty RED CLIFFS MALL with our masks on, TALKING, and just being family together. What a thrill to have my new grandson-in-law from Peru call me Grandma and to enjoy a quick trip to VIVA CHICKEN where they serve Peruvian dishes. Daniel wants to be a chef and is now working on his GREEN CARD which will enable him to apply for CITIZENSHIP after spending 3 years here on a STUDENT VISA. He's a returned missionary who served in Bolivia and he met my grand dg through the online ap MUTUAL developed by some BYU students. I have a friend's daugther who lives in SWEDEN who has just met a new boy friend this way. LIFE is INTERESTING! We also went to DESERET BOOK for some reading material. 

We look like bandits in the empty mall

Many stores are closed, don't know if malls will recover

Fried bananas, special potatoes, salad and BBQ chicken
