WOW this weekend went fast and thank goodness I had an emailed reminder or I might have not written. So Sorry!!!!!
Gma and Gpa Laurito have been staying with us all week so our schedules are a little off!
This
week we have stayed busy doing all the usual stuff plus two! Monday I
went to the chiropractor because I've been having a sore neck (the
opposite side from earlier this year). We had our usual Monday night
pizza and then played pickleball late in the evening. It's getting too
hot to play earlier in the afternoon, darn it!
Tuesday I
was fortunate to get off by 6:30 p.m. so I was able to have dinner with
the family and hang out for the evening!!! Laurito's came Tuesday
evening and we visited a little.
Wednesday the girls had
young women's and we went and played pickleball while my dad and Suzanne
walked the path down at Sullivan park. Afterward Gpa Laurito tried
pickleball. He's never played before but he did pretty good! He just
had surgery a month ago on his prostate so I was a little nervous but he
did just fine!
Thursday evening Gpa Laurito offered to
take us out for dinner. Since my birthday was Tuesday I got to pick. I
picked Dickie's. What a fiasco! We went to the Dickies here in
Washington and it smelled really burnt in the restaurant. We waited
outside for the grandparents and when we were all ready we went in and
the guy at the counter said he was closing the place down because he was
the only one working and everything was burning in the back.
So
we drove across town to bloomington Dickie's to find two very slow
workers. We stood in line for close to 1/2 hour before getting food.
And there was only a couple of people ahead of us!!!! The food was
great but holy cow, makes me not want to go there again for awhile!
twice! We had a nice visit and good dinner once we got it!!!

Friday
evening we went to see Miracles from Heaven with Laurito's and Marlee.
That was a real tear jerker movie and had a good message. I think
everyone really enjoyed it.
Dad's ending his season so he's working all the time so he wasn't around much Friday and Saturday.
Saturday
we mostly hung around the house and then I took the girls swimming for 2
1/2 hours. Pretty mellow Saturday. Dad and Suzanne spent the evening
visiting her brother and his wife.
Sunday we sang in the
choir and Dad gave a great lesson on Forgiveness. It was ward conference
and we got to see Sister Turner, Brother Condie, Brother Melessa,
President Lewis. It was nice to see our old friends. Brandon Condie
wants to come when you do your report.

Our lesson this
week was really struggling and not coming together. Dad had gone through
it a couple of times and also felt like there really wasn't much to
it. I read three different books and 2 ensigns Saturday evening (not
cover to cover..you know searching for supplement to the lesson) and
couldn't find anything. Sunday morning at 8:33 (I was supposed to
already be at church for choir) I googled and found something. I went
and printed it and then forgot it on the printer. Luckily dad was able
to get my text and grab it.

As we were reading it we
realized it kept referring to a supplemental guide that went with it.
Which I hadn't printed. We were able to find that online and read it on
dad's ipad. Dad was able to take that print out and give a really
great lesson on 3 hours sleep and 30 minutes in sacrament meeting. He's
pretty amazing.
I guess the other point of that story is
that we were both praying to find something for our lesson and although
it didn't come as early as we'd have liked or as easily as we would have
liked, we were guided and able to find what we needed before we needed
it and deliver a great message.
Sunday
we had dinner at mom's house (meatballs and rice...so delicious!) with
Randy and Kay, Laurito's, Griffin's and us. Dallas and Mck(she had to
leave for work). It was a nice evening and we talked after dinner about
church and life etc.
So we are finishing out the
school year now only 8 days left!!! Katie has a concert tomorrow night
which she has a solo on her soprano sax and she's pretty excited about
that.
Hope you are doing great ! Love you!!! Mom
