Ode to Fillmore

Oh Fillmore...you are such a lovely little place...I have often looked at you from afar as we drive on by. And although I wish that our relationship would have stayed the same, I am glad that you were there as our %#@^;% van decided to overheat. I am also thankful that you are the home to some very kind people. To the Best Western Lady who called around and found us another room so that we didn't have to all share a King size bed, thank you. To the Spinning Wheel motel manager, for giving us all a laugh as you walked out to help us in your pjs and for running a very colorful 1960's motel, it was a much needed smile! For Brent, the mechanic, for riding over to our motel on a bike to look at our van and tell us that the engine is cracked and unfixable and not charging us a dime for it, you rock! And to the city council woman, and my step sister, Krista, for living in Fillmore and saving our behinds. Thank you for working part time for Brent, for picking us up and welcoming us into your home. You are a lifesaver. Our children were entertained by your children, your dogs and brand new kittens were adored by my children and breakfast was wonderful! Truly thank you for everything!





Dumb Van! This is the point were the kids asked what was wrong with the car and why we kept stopping. We said that the car got really hot. Trey sat there for a few minutes and then said..."I know...the car is really hot because we like to drink hot chocolate in here!"























It's for sale for 200,000...just in case you were wanting to invest!

The lovely bathroom...yikes!



















Here lies the Thornton van...you were expected to run a little longer...it would have been nice to continue not having car payments, and for that I leave you with finger...Enjoy Fillmore!








One more big thank you...Thank you Loretta and Tyler. We brought way to much stuff to St. George and we are so thankful that you two were willing to drive down separately just to carry us and all of our things. Thank you for driving us all the way home! We love you!
