Sunday Randomness #52 : Just clean the air ducts already! (And is it really that hard to take your own photo?)
If these hadn't all come in the same mailer I probably wouldn't have noticed the same poor child was suffering from a multitude of air vent issues and was trying to get customers for four different businesses. Please, can anyone help this child stop sneezing? (And this might be a good lesson to check your final copy for originality in stock photo usage.)

Seeing outdoor color in northern Utah
Just some color in the fall leaves in Northern Utah.
Goofing off in the middle of nowhere. We were following old directions for Sardine Canyon but got lost somewhere. Lots of beautifully colored trees with leaf colors from yellow through orange to reds.

Ducks eating fallen apples near Anniversary Inn in Logan, UT.
We found our way out of the Little Bear Bottoms Corn Maze. We liked it!

Eating out in Logan in the Fall 2021
Weller's Bistro. 197 N. Main St, Layton, UT https://www.facebook.com/wellersbistro
Maddox in Perry, UT. I went here with Daisy in August and again in September. Both times I felt the food was good comfort food but too heavy for my taste. https://maddoxfinefood.com/ We decided we will not be back to Maddox for most of their menu but some items stood out such as their batter rolls.
Aggie ice cream. Not to be missed if you like ice cream at all! https://www.usu.edu/aggieicecream/
We got the Goulash with spƤtzle but subbed out the sauerkraut for rotkohl. Everything was so good! We only shared a dish but we both liked it and will definitely be back.

Sunday Randomness #73 : Anniversary Inn Logan, UT (Three part post) Part Three
Third night was in the African Safari at Anniversary Inn at their Logan location. This is one of their larger rooms. You can close the tent side curtains to make it feel more like you're sleeping in a tent. 
Gorgeous room with plenty of eye-candy from the faux fur bedspread to the statuary around the room.
King-sized bed.
Fancy carpets.
Nice bubbler tub but I think I like the traditional jetted tubs better. The bubbler tub is really loud.
Comfy tv chairs.
Costume for this room was a tiger sleeper. (Yes, I know, tigers are Asia, not Africa, but it's what I had in the closet at home and I was trying to keep costs to a bare minimum.)
By the third day of sight-seeing and traveling and eating new foods we were exhausted. Ready to just sleep off the meal of the day before heading back home the next day.
Every room had a notebook where guests can leave comments. We left comments and a picture.

Sunday Randomness #73 : Anniversary Inn Logan, UT (Three part post) Part Two
The second room we stayed in was the Pirate's Paradise room at the Logan location of Anniversary Inn.
The pirate tiles in the shower were a nice touch, as was the toilet paper on a door knob holder. The bathroom just has a black curtain for privacy-no door.
There was a cut-out with a pirate chest filled with pirate booty such as fancy bottles and tableware.
The room is a long rectangle with the tv at the far end, tub off to the side in the middle, and the bed in the far back. It looks longer than it actual is so it wasn't hard to watch tv from the bed.
The netting over the bed was clean (I was worried it would be dusty but they keep everything really clean at Anniversary Inn.) with a stuffed lobster and other marine life around the room.
We really liked the beautiful painted mural on the mirror glass.
The costume for this room was a simple blouse and skirt with vest, and a scarf headband. I bought these cool light up power ranger swords that make sounds when they make contact with each other and other items with flashing lights.
They had a couple of simple plastic cutlass swords in the room and we tried to do a timed picture. This was the best of the bunch.

Sunday Randomness #73 : Anniversary Inn Logan, UT (Three part post) Part one
Anniversary Inn has multiple locations - two in Salt Lake City, one in Logan, and the fourth in Boise, ID. We recently stayed at a few rooms at their Logan location. I like the pictures on their website but I wish sometimes that those pictures displayed more of the detail and breadth of the themed quality of the rooms. So here we'll share a few PG rated posts of our pictures. PG because these rooms are designed for adult patrons - more a "look and don't touch" says the ambience of the rooms.
The first night we stayed in the Hollywood Romance room which came with complimentary sodas and pre-popped popcorn in the popcorn bucket. (The popcorn machine in the picture? That was just for show.) We paid the extra $5 to get the bite size dessert sampler plate with brownie, lemon bar, raspberry chocolate, and magic bars. They give you a bottle of sparkling cider in your room and deliver a full breakfast for both people the next morning as part of the room price. In the past they also gave you a couple of slices of complimentary cheesecake but now it's a $5.00 add-on.
The petals and champagne flutes with Hershey kisses, rubber duckies, and bath bomb were a surprise from Buffy's park dog friends parents. https://www.anniversaryinn.com/logan/room/5-hollywood-romance-theater-
