FOOD 4 THOUGHT FRIDAY

Food 4 Thought Friday

Thanks to Jodi.
I am at work, so I don't have any pictures - sorry!

Breakfast What was your favorite costume you ever wore for Halloween? Add photos if you want!
One year my sister in law helped me make the greatest spider costume that has eight long arms that are attached so that they move! When I wear it no one knows who I am!
Kim and I once went as rodeo clowns – we looked pretty great if I do say so! Also we went as half man/half woman once. Kim even shaved half of his moustache and beard for that one! It is the only time I have ever seen him without a moustache! He started growing it back the next day!!!!!

Lunch What are your Halloween traditions? Are you going trick-or-treating or staying home and passing out candy? How much do you get in the Halloween spirit? (three course lunch today!)
We ALWAYS have a pumpkin carving night were we carve elaborate pumpkins. Of course, Kim’s is always the best, and he takes the shortest time to carve it. Since BJ’s death we place a jack-o-lantern on BJ’s grave so that he can be included. However, for some reason Halloween snuck up on us this year, and we haven’t carved anything yet. Maybe we will carve for Veteran’s Day.
Since Kalel is going to be with his dad this year, and my kids are so old, and since we actually partied last weekend, I’m going to stay and work late and let Kim hand out candy.

Dinner Do you believe in Ghosts???? Why or why not?
To quote the lion from the Wizard of Oz, “I do believe in ghosts, I do believe in ghosts, I do believe in ghosts!” However the ones I believe in are kind and helpful – I guess they are more like angels!


Midnight Snack What is your greatest Halloween memory?
Carving pumpkins with my family, and years ago when my kids were little Kim would make chili and we would go to my mother’s house. We would take the kids trick-or-treating there, then come back to the house for chili and a good movie.

Recipe for this Week (instead of your recipe for life - what is it for just this week?)
Work and watch movies tonight – play region volleyball tomorrow – and prepare for my lesson for Sunday.

PLEASE PLAY !!!! Come on you know you want to!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
