Thursday, August 8, 2024 - How is it time to be kicked off the boat already?! NOOOO!!!!

It was with great sadness that we left our floating luxury cruiser. It was so nice to have someone make and clean up every meal, even have snacks sometimes too! And mock-tails at 6 p.m. if we wanted them...every night. Not to mention doing our laundry and making our bed, cleaning our bathroom and turning down our pillow each night and placing a chocolate on our pillow. I just didn't want to leave! It went so fast!

BUT...that being said...the after tour was the grand finale to an amazing adventure!

After sadly leaving the boat, we loaded all our luggage into our tour bus and headed to The Old Town, The splaentor. We saw Lucerne - the Lion Monument and had lunch at a riverside restaurant. We saw Chapel Bridge and then went to our hotel.

We stayed at the Astoria Hotel in Lucerne, Switzerland. We walked around Lucerne and found a local restaurant.

Trash is different there. You purchase these
bags for $3 each. Then you put them out each
week for collection.

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north. Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby. Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us. Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

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. )

03/29/15 6 months scanning project...done!!!!

3/29/2015 I can't believe another week has gone by. I don't think I took any pictures this week. I'll have to go look and see. Before... So it was a busy week at work. We completed our 6 month project of scanning all the files in the office. Whew. Pretty awesome feeling. I have an assistant Sara (since January); a volunteer Sheron; and a court ordered worker to thank for getting me through this project. I did lots myself but I probably would have taken at least a year to get it done without their help. We are going to have a thank you/celebration lunch tomorrow. City is buying pizza. Piles of files to scan Thursday we had the relief society birthday party and the girls were invited. So we ate dinner at church while dad went to work. It was also the day before Dallas' 20th birthday so he, dad and McKayla went to Carl's for a big burger. I think it was probably a pretty lame birthday day for him this ...
