When you think about December foods, fruit and veggies probably aren’t the first things that come to mind. During a month of cocoa, candy canes and cookies, produce seems to take the backburner. That is until you find a basket full of bounty is just a few blocks away. Last Saturday I left my house […]
Thousands of people headed to the theaters Thursday night to watch the biggest wedding of the year- and no it has nothing to do with the Kardashians. “Breaking Dawn”, the first part of the final segment in the Twilight series, hit the box office with over 30 million dollars in profit from the midnight premier […]
Over the weekend nearly 300 people flocked to Dixie High School to participate in the annual “Walk to End Alzheimer’s.” I’d been to one of these walks before, yet I was still surprised at the overwhelming emotion emanating from Saturday’s crowd. They were so happy, I thought when I first arrived. So hopeful, so excited, […]

[…]
Last week I tried my hand at martial arts. You can bet I wasn’t boxing, fighting or practicing self-defense, instead I was practicing an art Harvard Medical School calls “walking medication” — Tai Chi. One day my copy of St. George Neighborhoods brought news of a number of classes offered at the Red Hills Wellness […]
Last weekend food connoisseurs were able to sample the likes of Bombay Café, Pepper’s Cantina, Café Rio, Le Parry Pastry Shoppe and Brick Oven all in one stop. Vernon Worthen Park was the source of yet another October Event, this time for the resurrected “A Taste of Dixie.” Thousands swarmed to the festival in […]
The youth of the Washington LDS Eighth Ward know that being thanked 6,000 times is well worth getting up at 3 a.m. This weekend I was right up in the action of the annual St. George Marathon.
