12/12/11 Flu and running out of gas...some days are like that!

12/12/11

Wow I can't believe it is Sunday again.  It has been such a busy week.  Kind of too much week, if you know what I mean!
Dad has been way too busy working on what might be the last issue of the mag if some $$ doesn't get "got" by the guys in charge of making the $$!  He has worked from early in the a.m. (radio show) until late into the night for many days.  So exhausting!
We have also been staying super busy at my work too.  Another Tuesday evening where we handled 68 cases and were at work until after 8 p.m.  After awhile you just feel kind of overwhelmed by it all!
YW is going well.  Had another good turnout (10 girls!!) Wednesday and 5 on Sunday.  Everyone seems to be getting more excited and more involved and it is good to see.  I sometimes am overwhelmed by all there is to do to keep things going but usually a good afternoon nap helps me get over my discouragement!  We are currently getting ready to play ward youth conference and girls camp so a busy summer awaits!
The BAHR family reunion is this summer again and it's Grandma's turn to be in charge.  We are going to capitol reef again so that will be great.  I really like it there. Hope to stay in the same place we stayed last time -- the little 2 bed house place.  Hoping we can get others to stay there too.  We'll see!
Bryce got up this a.m. and got dressed for church and came out in the kitchen and said, Dad, it kinda hurts right here...pointed to his chest area.  Saying his stomache felt a little funny.  Dad's like...do we have any pepto bismal or something. No.  While he's looking for it we hear that dreaded sound...BLAH...Yep.  The flu is back.  But on the bright side, he made the toilet!  Told him to take his clothes off and go back to bed!
Dallas was out working this a.m. and wasn't home yet at 8:45 either (I'm a little worried, since they usually handle sacrament, ya know?!)  He comes home shortly after saying he had gotten stuck out in the rain and his truck ran out of gas.  (The "indicator" light didn't come on... he says!!! We laugh, Dallas, it's an old truck, they don't HAVE indicator lights...you just have to look at the gauge!)  Anyway Dave tells him to walk to the next park (about 1 mile) and continue doing his work and he'll bring gas to him.  Dallas said he walked to the park and back before Dave arrived.  In the rain.  Yeah.  Good morning all in all for both boys, no?!
Some days are like that.
Well since Bryce's episode this a.m. we don't get to go to Gma's (they wouldn't want us this way).  So I gotta go make dinner now.  Gonna make some lasagne.  Should be good!
Hope you are doing great and still loving the work.  So proud of you.  Really enjoy reading about your mission.  Such an inspiration.  Keep it up!  Love you !!!! Mom.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!
