Let’s Go To Kanab, Utah

I know I have said this before, but it is an 85 mile drive from the North Rim to Kanab, Utah. We go down to Kanab about every two weeks or so to stock up on groceries and stuff. Today we went down there, primarily because I had an appointment for a pedicure. The only pictures I took were of the scenery on the trip, though, so that is what you will see today.

A snowmelt lake on Hwy 67 in the Kaibab National Forest

We had several things to do in town besides the pedicure. First stop was the Dollar store. I was looking for some baby t-shirts for a project I have in my head. They didn’t have any. Oh, well.  I can wait for another day for that. Then to Houston’s Trails End Restaurant for breakfast. They have good bacon.

A meadow on Highway 67. Gorgeous!

I went to the Ace Hardware store, where they have a quilt shop in part of the store. I wanted to get measured so that I can order my mother of the bride dress that I finally found. While I was in there, I of course I found some more fabric that I could not leave in the store.

A bend in the road on Highway 89A north of Jacob Lake in Arizona.

Then I went for the most fabulous pedicure I have ever had.  The girl who did the pedi took a lot of time to do it right, and I was very impressed with that. But then, when she was doing the foot massage at the end, she asked me “Do you have trouble with your hip?” and when I said I do, she asked “Is it your right hip?” Yes. She went on to ask me if I had been having trouble with my kidneys recently, and if I had had my gall bladder removed. Yes, and yes. I could not believe she could tell all that from touching my feet. Especially since I had never met her before today. She told me she has the gift of a healing touch. I am a believer because, well, I was there today. I will definitely be going back.

Through the rocks!

After a run through the grocery store, we met our friends, Marcie and Chris, at Nedra’s Mexican Restaurant for lunch. Mmmm, tacos! But the best thing about meeting them, was that Chris had made me a batch of gluten free oatmeal cookies. Delicious! I always feel so special and loved when someone takes the time  and makes the effort to make things for me that I can eat. Thank you so much, Chris!

That road is 89A, going down into Fredonia, Arizona. And that is the Vermillion Cliffs in the distance.

So, after a pretty full day, a truck full of goodies, we headed home. One last stop at Jacob Lake Inn for a milkshake rounded out the day. Yes, a long, long trip to get groceries, but what a fun day! And that scenery on the way? Priceless!

    Wow, I am impressed by the pedicurist. Maybe I need to make an appointment.

    Long day to St George where it was well over 100F. Came home to find the fridge melting so may go to Page tomorrow to buy one at Wal-Mart.

    Yes, beautiful drive! I knew they could tell a lot from your feet but I’ve never known a pedicurist that could! What a blessing you found her. I wish I could go to her. I’ve had massages by spiritual people and they are a world of difference from a massage therapist that just does it for a job, so I know how you must have had a wonderful experience! Glad you treated yourself!! Tell Jimbo HI!!!!!

    Going to an Ace Hardware to get measured for a dress? It must come with a nuts and bolts trim. 🙂

      I know—isn’t it a kick in the pants that there is a fabric store in the hardware store???

    Oh wait, groceries? Scenery? Heck I thought you went for a pedicure — that’d be on my priority list too. Well, maybe just behind food.
