(I didn't take any pictures when our friends were here so I am including a picture we took when we were together in August 2006 when we went to Sacramento.)Our friends, Jerry and Sandy Smith, from Sacramento, California whom we got to know from our Duracell days, came to visit us from August 22 - August 23, 2008. We picked them up from the train depot early on Friday the 22nd and then took them back late on Saturday, the 23rd. So we had two full days and one night with them. We loved having them stay with us this time. We took them to see Jeremy, Sarah, and Clara since Jeremy was home during the day and had never met Jerry and Sandy and he had heard lots about them. Jeremy and Sarah went to Savers with us. Sandy and I always like going to Thrift Stores! We also drove to Provo so they could see BYU. BYU Education Week was going on at the time so there wasn't much parking, so we just drove them around. Jeremy, Sarah, and Clara joined the four of us for lunch at Cafe Rio. We then drove up town to Temple Square. Jerry and Sandy enjoyed the tour of the Conference Center.
We went over to our Ward's High Priest Social. Sandy and Jerry were so easy to take. They fit in perfectly. I think the group was sad to see us leave, 'cause Jerry and Sandy were such great entertainment. We left early 'cause we wanted to play games with Jerry and Sandy. We played "I Got Mine!" and "Accumulation" We always have lots of fun.
The next day after having a good breakfast, we headed up to Park City. John went up by Emmigration Canyon but there was so much construction that we had to take a detour and didn't get the full effect. We took the scenic route that day! We enjoyed shopping at the Factory Stores and driving around the Park City area.
In the eveningn we had invited our children/grandchildren up for a barbecue. Jerry and Sandy said they felt so at home here with our family. That made us feel so good. The time went by so quickly while they were here, but we made the best of the time while they were here. We found out that their train didn't leave until 3:45 a.m. Sunday morning so they had quite the wait--and it took them 'til 8 p.m. Sunday night to get home. It was a long day for them. I don't think they plan to ride the train again!

I like the title you used. I listened to a talk today by Marvin J Ashton, "It's No Fun Being Poor" and he talked about how "rich" we are if we have a lot of friends and good friends.
