02/26/26 Grand Canyon South Rim Train Trip

Andy found a deal on a train trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. So he booked it!  And then we invited several couples...and the Hills and the Hatts said YES!!! So we had a fun weekend away with our friends. We enjoyed Bearizona -- there is a 3 mile drive through where you get to see animals up close from your vehicle. Then you can park and walk around and see lots more. Andy and I did taht by ourselves before our friends arrived. 

We enjoyed several buffet dinners and breakfasts, the train ride in a luxury dome car with refreshments served, a bus tour and lunch buffet and several walks around the rim of the Grand Canyon. We really enjoyed the trip and this would be a great adventure to take the family to in the future. 

We also got to see the Poomuseum!!! (They have the largest collection of dinosaur poop in the USA...they even made it into guiness book of world records!). It's really just a fun book store. Entry is free and they just sell some fun novelty things that include poop...like squatty potty, poop books and poop shirts. All in all, just something fun to say you did once! haha

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!
