Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
  
Breakfast What is something you are looking forward to right now? 
Our first annual sister's retreat!  My sisters and I decided that we need to get closer and enjoy each other more so we are going to have a 3-day retreat at Wolf Creek next month.  I CAN'T WAIT!

Lunch What was your greatest accomplishment today? 
I was teaching clinicals - I always feel a great sense of accomplishment as I see the light in my students' eyes as they "get" something I help them learn.  Love this job!

Dinner What are your plans for Valentine's Day? 
My sister, Ashley, and I decided to be Valentines and have dinner tonight.  My sweet husband offered to babysit for her.  (I celebrated with Kim last week in San Diego!)

Midnight Snack What was the last compliment you received? 
One of my students told me that he requested me as his clinical instructor because he learned so much working with me!

Recipe of the Week (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?)  
Continue to exploring my new family history finds - it is addicting!  I love finding stories and pictures that I can post on Family Search that makes the names become people and family members, not just names.

It's worth doing it to read what you write! They really are so fun because it's not normal stuff you would write about. The retreat sounds so fun! And I really need to get more into family history! I have no excuse other than I KNOW once I do i will be addicted! I don't need another addiction right now! hah
THANKS FOR PLAYING!

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.

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
