Washington, NV

Thursday, June 28, 2012
We left the Las Vegas campground for Washington, a small town just outside of St. George, UT. It's still hot in this dry climate -- 103 degrees or so. We stopped for the night to visit with one of my former students at the Corcoran College of Art + Design, Jude and her husband, Cecil. Jude and Cecil, both retired, lived in the DC area up until a month ago when they decided to move to Utah. The had lived in LasVegas years ago and liked the area. They have been spending their time settling in and exploring the area. Because the area is highly populated with Morman's, they've discovered many family services available such as great libraries. They have a beautiful area to explore. One interesting find by Jude was the best place in the area to buy fabric...at the Ace Hardware store.  Who would guess!

Jude worked in the dean's office at the Corcoran years ago and started taking my Surface Design class in 2003. She has been one of my most enthusiastic students having taken the class at least six semesters over the years. I'll miss her in class! We hope to get together during her next visit to the DC area when she takes part in the DC Breast Cancer Walk.

We tried out a very nice Thai restaurant for dinner. Thanks Jude and Cecil and best wishes as you make Washington your new home.
