It is going to be close to 70 degrees and very sunny today. I start off my day with a trip to our local Home Depot to pick up supplies for sprucing up our yard and perhaps give the kids a few hints on flowers they can pick out for Mother’s Day. Next, over to Old Town to do a last minute arrival for one of our homeowners coming into today to enjoy a bit of the Park City life. While I’m in Old Town, I decide to pick out my mother and mother-in-law’s Mother’s Day gifts. The perfect Main Street store for this adventure –The Crosby Collection www.Crosbycollection.com – the Park City premier dealer in Native American arts and collectibles. The owners, Bing and Vicki Crosby, are also my neighbors and I love supporting our local businesses. The Crosby Collection also has location at the Salt Lake City Airport, for those folks needing last minute mementos, but you have to come to either of their two Main Street locations to find their fine collectible Pueblo pottery, gem quality turquoise, Navajo Rugs and Zuni fetishes. Don’t forget to ask about the secret, upstairs room – it is filled with amazing, one-of-a-kind works of art from the most famous names in the Native American art world!

After finding the perfect Mother’s Day gifts, I stroll down Main Street, popping into Java Cow Cafe and Bakery (knows as Cow’s to locals) for a much needed coffee and then down to Dolly’s bookstore for the Saturday edition of the Park Record (www.parkrecord.com) and pick up a copy of Angels and Demons. I have to read the book before I see the movie.

I’ve been putting off my yard work all morning, but I am planning to take tomorrow off to be pampered, so now I’m heading home!
