of Arizona that we passed through on the way from Nevada to Utah.

Mary's brother, Bob, lives in Ivins, Utah which is
just outside St.George. Our first view of the Ivins roundabout sculptures.
This is in the center of the roundabout like an island. There are 5 bronze
horses done by sculptor Edward Hlvaka

We arrive at Mary's brother's place in Ivins, Utah.
I get to meet Bob Dugan and his wife Ann. I was hoping to get some juicy
stories about Mary's childhood from Bob. I DID learn that Bob called Noella
(Mary's bosom buddy when she was growinf up) and Mary, Spaghetti and Meatball.
HA!

This is the view from Bob and Ann's front door. The
ding-dong neighbor across the street planted the one tree that blocks
the view of the canyon walls. Bummer...And that is our super duper rent
car which drove us nuts! A Dodge Caliber from Wisconsin. The Wisconsin
plates allowed us to get away with touristy misturns etc.!

Ann helped me get this picture of the country out
their back door! She was tall enough to get up over the patio wall!

Bob gives Mary some brotherly advice on where to go.
Well, I could have warned him that whenever I tell Mary where to go, she
, mostly, ignores me!
