05/06/17 Delivering breakfast

This morning the bishop texted me to tell me he had some leftover's from Father's and Son's outing that he'd like me to distribute to ward members.  He specifically asked for one and then said to find others to deliver the rest to.

I went to the first home he had requested to find her not there.  I left the non-perishable items and texted her to find out if she'd be around to receive the others.  She said she would not.

I then went to the Ivie's home -- Tammy was asleep but her husband and two boys were so excited to receive chocolate milk and eggs and orange juice.  You would have thought it was Christmas time!  It was fun to see their happy faces.  They told me about scouting and their Sunday teacher.  They were super cute and happy!

I think tried to deliver some to Sister Babbitt...She had a gate and a note that said do not disturb.  I called Bishop and he said it was ok to disturb...I tried to call, knock, ring the bell...nothing.  I really think someone was there but I had NO luck!  Bishop said not to leave anything since it would go bad if they weren't around. Bummer!

I then went to Nay's house -- their kids were leaning out the bedroom window and also excited about getting breakfast goodies!

I headed to Jen Field's house --and had a really nice visit with her.  I stayed about 1/2 hour and she seemed to really love every minute of it. She showed me her rock collection and talked about the death's they've had this year and extended family problems.  The ward has been trying to activate the family -- the kids have started getting involved in scouts a little.  She invited me to come back another time and "play" with her.  It was a fun visit!

I really enjoy taking unexpected goodies to others.

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!
