fun times hanging around movie locations

The last two weeks, I have had fun being with Kelly more with his work, We got to go to Moab for two days.  The church is having a fun family commercial with a run away stagecoach, in Moab.  It was wonderful weather there, and the people were fun to get to know.  They have great meals, there right by the river.  They have the fun catered lunches.  I loved getting to know alot of the ladies doing hair and makeup and the costumes.  They and their daughters are teams working together.  We talked politic's and had some interesting visits with a neat lady that works doing stunts for Hollywood.  She is a lady that has helped a lot with search and rescues, and has that gift of helping people alot.  She has been the first to come across car accidents, and being involved with helping solve crimes.  Just that day she ended up helping a man that was maybe homeless, and had been right by the movie camp  for 2 days, in his truck, and ended up being very sick and spitting up blood,  she went to help him and used my watch to take his pulse, I think her and the medic we had, helped him and then he was taken by ambulance somewhere. 

This week, Kelly and I were at a location they were filming at the castle in Provo, they had a fireball, and this stunt guy jumping off the wall and down 20 ft and landing on a big huge mat, well, This local guy was dressed in a pirates outfit, and they took safety precautions, by having his clothes and hat and wig, face with lots of goop, fire retardant on him, and it was a good thing because he ended up being totally on fire as he jumped, it was so shocking and they ended up taking him to hospital, his face was burned alittle but he will be okay.  He mainly was protected and went home in just a few hours.  I got to see my friend again that is such a helper.
and she is right there at the right time.  Kelly was filming things on a work, video camera, and so we had to go back and forth and get a copy to the fire dept.  It made it a long evening, we got home about 9 p.m.
well, this has been very interesting, and fun being with my honey.  It reminds me of the days when Kelly first worked there on movies, he took me more then.  I am grateful to be included.
