12/29/16 Random Events

Andy had a colonoscopy.  The getting there was rather unpleasant but not completely AWFUL -- not as bad as imagined any way.  Close, but not quite as bad!  And the results were great...Dr said Andy is the picture of colonic health and he doesn't need another test for 10 years!!!  Yeah!!!

The microwave broke (after only 4 years, seriously?!  Boo G.E.)  The kitchen sat empty like this for about 3 weeks while we determined that the best course of action was just purchasing a new microwave.  Funny how dependent we are on microwaves.  The first day we had to melt butter and didn't quite know how to do it.  Ha ha.  Luckily Linda Hill was a life saver and loaned us her little microwave to get us through the month.  

We see snow so seldom here in the Desert --
Here is what I think might be the whole of winter for us this year!
 It was beautiful!



Grandma found these cute Dallas cowboy pillows for Dallas and Andy and he is holding a sock monkey for McKayla.  I had to include this picture because they are just so cute!

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!
