I'm back-tracking a little bit here, but I simply can't go on without mentioning our wonderful trip to Cedar City at the end of March. Despite the bitter cold (to which we desert-dwellers are sadly not accustomed) we had such a great time and thank Cyndie wholeheartedly for allowing us to completely take over one of her precious bedrooms, (as well as Fan, who was the actual relinquisher of the room) and for welcoming us into her home to eat all of her Cinnamon Life and drink all of her milk. So, Cyndie, we salute you, and dedicate to you this song, from the bottom of ABBA's and our hearts.
Ode to Cedar City
(to be sung to the tune of ABBA's "Super Trouper")
We were sick and tired of traveling
When we pulled into Cyndie's driveway
All we'd done was sit and drive and scream,
Wond'ring why we had come the dam way.
So just when we thought we'd sure be goin' crazy
We got to exit 59.
And we knew that once we got inside
we'd have the greatest time.
We were in Cedar City, home of all the Tracys,
the coolest cats you'll meet.
Where kids can play in the street,
and Pero tastes even more sweet.
Yes, it was Cedar City, where the elk is tasty,
and cereal don't come cheap.
It costs too much to run the heat,
so you sleep with socks upon your feet.
'Riah, Drine and Fan are so much fun,
It's impossible to feel lonely.
Then there's Cyndie who's my number 1
(and not just because she's not homely).
There may be moments when you think you're goin' crazy.
How can it be such a blast?
Pirate Pizza and some Singin' Star,
the time goes by too fast...
When you're in Cedar City, home of all the Tracys,

Oh yes, it's Cedar City, where the elk is tasty,

So time was scarce once we arrived.
We had so much to do in 3 short days, like sit
and veg, and maybe watch Twilight...
But I should say,
That you should come and visit us in May!
'Cause it was Cedar City, home of all the Tracys.
