In 1993, Firmage Financial (Tom Ralphs) hired me to take over and finish the development of a real estate project they called the Aerie. It was a large subdivision with 10 - 15 acre lots sitting on top of the mountain just above Park City. The lots were being presold for around $250,000.00 each. When I took over, there was still alot of sewer and water line work to be done, and about half the paving was yet to be completed. I spent the summer up there having the time of my life. I got it all finished up just before the snow flew in the fall. I got to meet alot of very wealthy people who bought lots there, like the owner of the Pepsi franchise for all of Georgia and Northern Florida. Also Ed Ames, the singer, etc. This picture is take of Park City from the Aerie.

We spent the next day just driving around in the rain and seeing the fall colors. God has some pretty good color designers backing him up. Park City is a very pretty place to see any time of the year.

We celebrated Theresa's birthday by staying at the Park City Hotel. The evening before we went up there, we went to the theater in Orem and watched a live performance. It was raining most of the day but everything was so green and pretty. the Porche people were there showing off their new 2009 model. It looked like a nice car, but I could put away a pretty good food storage for the price of one of those puppies.

And here are some more. And would you believe we have another 150 bottle of different things in the garage. The bottle in the upper left is fruit cocktail. What Fun. We are already looking forward to next fall so we can start all over again.

As soon as the fruit was on and the garden was heavy into production, Theresa's kitchen really got busy. Canning was going on almost every day for weeks. We canned (mostly she) over 400 bottles of everything. Like Apricots, Peaches, Plumbs, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Cherries, Hotdog Relish, and the like. Also almost every combination, like Jellies, Jams, syrups, whole fruits, apple butter, apricot butter, and juices. It was alot of fun even though it was alot of work. We did the canning at her home in Oaker Hills where the kitchen was alot bigger. To help, we set up a Camp Chef stove out on the back porch to help speed up the sterilizing. It was also fun, because we had the deer watching us from about 20 or 30 feet away through the window hoping we would throw out some more peelings. We would just throw them out in the oak brush and they would come and scarf up whatever we threw out.
