Now, I don't know about you but a road trip is just not a road trip without stopping at some kind of convenience/gas station shop for a nice cold icey beverage and some kind of snack/treat. Look what I found! Have you seen these? Better yet, have you tasted these!!! They are RAZZberry M & M's. Yummy!!! Seriously... what an excellent version of this much loved-already candy. It said on the package that it was a limited edition so I think I'm going to have to stock up! Very delightful!
Both of my brothers that live in Logan are master carpenters! My brother Craig owns a factory there where he manufactures plastic products that are rotation molded. I feel like a little kid when he tours us through the shop and explains what is going on. They were producing everything from ATV gear carriers to ATR water and gas tanks to elk, deer and moose antlers. He is just a totally brilliant craftsman. When he was in high school, he was a sterling scholar winner in the industrial arts and for his project he built a jet engine. He is also the same kid that of course, was always failing engish and history because he could care less about that stuff. He has been very successful in the engineering and manufacturing world.
My other brother, Mark has taken on this GINORMAS home rebuilding project. He and his wife, Karen, bought a wonderful parcel of acerage on the foothills just outside of Logan and it came with this bizarre structure that was supposedly a home. It was basically a big steel structure that has been covered on the outside with wood and stucco and inside there were two separate apartment-like living areas. Being the creative visionary that Mark is, he could see some potential in this structure so now he and his wife are dismantling the steel structure as they rebuild a new ski-lodge type single unit home dwelling. I really don't know how to explain it but it is very impressive. Most impressive is that they are continuing to live in this construction site with their 3 year old daughter and do the work themselves. This summer they were able to complete about 1/3 of the roof top. They will just take it slow and steady and in who knows, 10 years, they'll have a masterpiece.
We were pretty exhausted by the time we got back home last night but it was so worth the effort to get away for a day.

I love the RAZZberry M & M s - I have only found them one place here in AZ and I cleaned them out!
When we lived in Logan for 4 years, driving through Sardine Canyon was breathtaking. It is certainly worth the drive.
