Hi everyone! Wow...it has been way too long since I sat down and wrote a blog...I have found another way to show you pictures of what is in the store....just become a friend of Clutter on Facebook and you will be able to see lots of pictures of the great furniture and home decor that we have in the store. I will also be better about updating my blog...I love to write and I love to show you what we have...I just need to find the time!
So, what have you been doing with your time? I hope that it's been fun...whatever it is! Speaking of fun...my family has added a new activity to our already long list of activities...Scuba Diving! This has been a long time wish of my husband's...to get all of us certified to dive. We love to travel and we have been to some amazing places and now, not only can we experience "life" on and above the ground...but also "life" from the viewpoint of a fish! We took Scuba classes at Ocean's First Divers www.oceanfirstdivers.com in Boulder in November and even though I had a bit of trepidation, I passed and all was well.
This past weekend we did our certification dive...in Park City, Utah, of all places! Just outside of Park City, in Midway, Utah is Homestead Crater www.homesteadresort.com/Crater. Homestead Crater is a 92 degree natural hot spring covered by a calcite dome. At the dome's base, it's 400 ft. in diameter and the crater itself is around 60 ft. deep. Because of the water temperature, there is no need for a wet suit...which makes diving there pretty easy! Of course, there are no fish, coral or anything else you might associate with scuba diving but you will see a large plastic alligator and turtle lurking around, and whatever else that might have dropped to the bottom..such as the triangle bench that was once part of the "hot tub" that has been partitioned off from the main "pool!" It's an interesting experience, that's for sure..and I'm happy to report that my husband, daughters, and I all passed our certification dives with flying colors! I'm so glad that this is over and I'm ready to go see some real diving sights (and sites, for that matter!).
As an extra bonus, this past weekend while we were in Park City, happened to be the final weekend of the Sundance Film Festival! It was so fun to luck into this event and the energy in the town was noticeable! We were able to get tickets on the final night to one of the award winning documentaries...The Redemption of General Butt Naked. It was filmed over a 5 year period and as tough as it was to watch, it was interesting. It was about Joshua Milton Blahyi, General Butt Naked, a Liberian warlord who says that between 1980 and 1996, with his "army" of boy soldiers, he was responsible for over 20,000 deaths. He led his troops naked (and they were naked too) which he says gave them protection from bullets and surprised the people so much that it was easier to kill them. According to the documentary, he has since found Jesus Christ and is asking for forgiveness from the families of those he killed. Needless to say, it certainly was a thought provoking documentary...I'm not convinced that he will be given the redemption he seeks....
Ok...let's get back to positive energy....Clutter is full of it! Take a look at some of the great furniture that we have in the store right now...
