10/20/24 Ghastly! haha...and FaceTime with Mo

Me, Olivia Jones, and Mia Wilcox
 It's weird how time is...seems to be fast then slow. Or go slow and pass quickly. It's hard to explain. But this week it felt like a regular week, kind of that wasn't too action packed!  

Kisses from mo to pops 
and back!
Sunday we had E&D, AJ, GPA and us for dinner. Perfect for our table of 6.  It's hard when we get more cause then somebody's on the folding chairs or at the bar stools. E&D are heading out on a 10 day excursion with Elderhostel so we won't see them for the next Mon, Sun, Mon while they go touring So. Utah. 

We just had AJ, GPA and us for dinner - so a little gathering -- at Slice House in the Zion Stip Mall. Quick and uneventful. Aj's been kind of bummed lately so he wasn't real talkative and didn't stay long. He has been going to tons of YSA activities -- so that's good!  

Monday was Columbus Day and I had off but Dad had to work. Usually I would be all over that with projects - but I was kind of bleh. I did walk my 3 miles then come home and take a long hot bath. Then I rearranged and cleaned up the back porch. And took a outside nap. Then I did dishes and cleaned the kitchen and took a nap. I guess every once in awhile life catches up with me!

Tuesday we also just did the usual work and then hang out. 

Wednesday was a busy day. Dad had football games (fall break they do them early in the week). So he was busy until almost midnight. (too much for a work week day!) He and AJ broadcast together so that's fun and cool but getting home so late is rough when you have to start at 5 a.m. all over again.

I had YW and we took the girls (and boys) up to the gardens. They are decorated for Halloween so I really enjoyed it!  We broke up into little groups (so my pictures mostly have the same 4 of us in them) and then met at the end. We were scavenger hunting for a list of halloween things (ghost, pumpkin, etc). Cute and fun and easy activity. Highly recommend!

Thursday and Friday were quiet again with not much going on. Friday I came home with a migraine (I don't get headaches, or migraines, so this was a weird development.)  It was a total bummer too because Dad had off and I couldn't bring myself to do anything but sleep or sit on the couch. Tylenol helped a bit but ended up doing nothing. Dad brought me back and Ike's Sandwich (he had to go into work and it was by Fabulous Freddy. But I was rather non-functional.  (I did have a chiropractor adjustment on Thursday and I read that toxins can release and cause this. I think that may have been it as I was suffering from a shoulder that was very painful and out of place and he knocked it back into place ... or something?! )  

Saturday, thank goodness...I'm BACK!  Pickleball, mopping, cleaning pool, playing in pool, enjoying outdoor, laundry...I felt good and myself again. 

Gettin ready for another Sunday with early meetings (Stephanie Wilcox was out of town...so ward council) and family dinner.

Funny story...during church today just Theo came back. He was happy to eat his famous amos cookies and have me read him stories. Then he got out stickers. He was really enjoying it.  And starting really dancing...(the pee pee dance...you know that one, right?)  I leaned over several times and asked if he needed to go potty. Nothing.  So he was REALLY dancing...and I was like THEO, we gotta take care of this. I got up and grabbed his hand and walked him back to his mom and told her about the dancing. She took him potty and came back and was like THANK YOU!!!! He REALLY needed to go! Know your dance moves! Emergency averted!

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...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.

07/28/25 MRI interpretation

Andy had an MRI but to get a surgeon to interpret it was going to be a long wait...like 6 weeks. Andy has a friend who works in radiology. He had Andy over to his office and explained what was going on with Andy's back. He said the two places where Andy had previous surgeries were showing problems just above the surgery (apparently common but nobody told Andy that originally).  He had a third spot that was also degenerating. So lower, mid and upper spine all have issues.  We are trying the spinal decompression route currently in hopes of avoiding surgery.  These spinal issues are probably the reason for many of Andy's other ailments.
