Last night we took mom and dad and met my brother Perry and his wife Chris
at the Pickleville Playhouse, located just south of Garden City, Utah on
the shores of Bear Lake. We had dinner followed by their melodrama
presentation. We had a great evening. Thanks, Perry for a really good time!

The dinner ranks among the best I’ve had at this sort of an event — the
so-called “chuckwagon dinner”. We all had the ribeye steak which was well
prepared and was a good cut of steak. The beans were very tastey! We
laughed and laughed throughout the play.

One of the joke lines in the play had to do with the hero being unable to
find a job, even at Convergys. Now Convergys hires anyone! It’s a call
center operation with locations in Pocatello, Preston, Rexberg, Logan,
Ogden, many other places, along with a very large operation across the
street from the hotel I stay at in Manila. At intermission my brother and I
talked about this story line. A young lady behind us said she could think
it was funny except she worked at Convergys. It was the only job she could
find … and she’d been working there for seven years!

The drive home was much faster than the drive over. It’s been a long time
since I’ve been over there. It has really grown up and we need to go over
and do a little vacationing over there. It’s possible that the next Nathan
LeRoy Smith Family Reunion may be up there. I think that’s a good idea.
There is plenty to do in the area. Another place we need to explore!
