This week seems to have FLOWN by...seriously...I don't know if it's because I wasn't around last week or what but WOW!
Monday I went to the Chiropractor and he adjusted me and released me...said I should be good now! SO far he is right! I have been feeling so much better in my neck and back.
Wednesday night was graduation so for YW we decided to just have a swim party here at our house. We invited all the girls (knowing the older ones would obviously mostly not be interested). I figured we might get 2 or we could get 20. Really had no idea. But we had a nice turnout...8 - 11...something like that...just right. The girls giggled and played and had a great time.
Thursday evening we played pickleball with the Casey's. When we were heading over dad said we are quitting at 9 no matter what. We have to get up early tomorrow and I don't want to be out late.
At 8:55 we had just finished two sets (we usually play three...one with each of us matched up ... you know me and dad, me and Sandy, me and Kelly.) So Dad was like...let's just play one game of our third set and then we'll go. Bad choice. About 10 minutes into the game dad took a tumble and skinned up his knee pretty good. It's Sunday and he's still super sore and uncomfortable from it. Poor guy. And he missed pickleball Saturday and swimming since them.
Friday we tried a new restaurant called Jay Birds (in the old Arby's building by the mall). We went with Gpa. He really enjoys our Friday dates. I didn't love the food...basically it's fried chicken. Meh. Not my favorite.
Saturday we had a BIG birthday party -- there are 7 birthdays this month. Michael, Annie, me, Abbie, Diane, Laura, & GPA. Every couple going to Alaska has one person with a birthday! haha. So this year for gifts I bought t-shirts for everyone that say family cruising 2023 and had a bear on it. Kinda fun! Now we can all match on our cruise.
Our party had Austin, Taylor & NIce -- and fam, Abbie and fam, AJ, Holly & Erik...us...Wendy, Michael, Ben and Laura and GPA. (Eldon and Diane were up north so they missed out sadly). I believe our count was about 21 or 24 or som
ething. But it was really good. We had ribs and pulled pork and rolls and peanut butter bars, salad, fruit, beans. It was a real feast!

Spent most of the day preparing and then an hour or so after cleaning up. But it was fun! And so nice to have everyone together playing and happy.
Tomorrow is memorial day and Dad has a remote in Cedar City so we should have a fun different day tomorrow up in Cedar. And next week is the twin's birthday party so another trip to SLC (if we stay healthy!! haha) Busy busy!
This week in come follow me they were talking about loving thy neighbor as thyself. Whew. That's a hard one. I hardly even know a bunch of my neighbors, let alone like them or love them. I got some work to do!
I admire Linda - she is so kind and giving and when she sees a homeless person she doesn't hesitate to give them food or money or a blanket or whatever. I NEVER do that.
So I know I have something I need to really work on -- but I really don't even want to! Oy.
How do you do on loving your neighbor? And being generous to those in need?
One thing the podcast mentioned was that we should just try to be more loving and kind in general as we go through life. And I have been working on that...talking to people in line at the store and clerk's as they are checking me out and just trying to compliment others and try to make them happy. I do feel better when I engage with others and they seem to also. Baby steps!
Hope you had a fantastic week. Look forward to talking to you tomorrow. I think dad's remote is at 11...so we'll be driving up to Cedar around 10 a.m. tomorrow and coming home 2 or 3 p.m.
Sydney Chase's farewell is today!!! Then home MTC for a week. I believe her area is in California. Pretty exciting.
Love you lots!!!
