We are staying with the same color scheme as we have had for several years, but the house needed a refresher.

The painters are busy covering windows and scraping paint.

Home of Truth is an immersive, walk-through theatre experience in the style of Sleep No More inside Allen Park. Based on true events.

Story
In 1930’s america, Spiritualist leader Marie Ogden receives a ghostly message through her typewriter about an apocalyptic calamity. She convinces her followers to follow her to the Utah Desert to form the Home of Truth. A place where they will be protected. As Marie's promises pile up, she struggles to keep her following from coming undone.
Based on true events, Home of Truth is a play about the struggle between hope and truth and how both can be twisted and weaponized.

A Play Unlike Any Other in Utah
Home of Truth will be set in Allen Park , a ghost town open to the public in Sugar House, Utah. Audiences will walk through this unique setting and experience the drama taking place in the Home of Truth collective. Scenes in each act occur simultaneously and it is up to you to decide how you'd like to explore the story. You may choose to see the story of the charismatic cult leader, the true believer, or the apostate who is trying to bring it all crashing down. Aside from theatrical scenes, the audience can find secrets in Allen Park such as historical documents from the real Home of Truth in San Juan County Utah, and discover the true events which transpired there.
There will be Dance Performances by Interdisciplinary Arts Collective, Improvisational comedy, and other multimodal arts all contributing to the story. You may want to come to multiple showtimes and experience the story in new ways each time.

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year

I know I want to make my New Year happy.
It's been too many years since we've had angst run our lives.
This is the year to make it what it should be.

Bob and Leotta's "best" photo

 Bob and Leotta go to a football game

This photo of my parents is from the 1950s
Written on the back, in my mother's handwriting
it says,
"This was taken on our way to a football game
with friends.
I think it is one of our best pictures."

I like to think they were on their way to a

Greenbay Packer Game.
my Dad loved the game.

[Baseball too.]

The Man in the Window

 The Man in the Window

While studying some old photos, searching for a particular building,
I noticed this man in an office window of a nearby building.

I wonder what business he might have been conducting.
I wonder who his family was.
I wonder how he made his living.
I wonder why I wonder.

No wonder, I'm happy.
