Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
   
Breakfast ~ Post a photo of what you see in front of you at this moment...(if you're starring at a computer screen, then post something in the room.)
This is a picture of the library at Pineview Rehab.  I camp out in this room while I am supervising nursing students as they work with nurses taking care of patients.

Lunch ~ What is something you must get done today?  What is something you would like to get today?
Other than working today, the only thing I MUST get done is attend the viewing of my brother-in-law's father.  What I am looking forward to is dinner with my sisters and then heading to our sisters retreat after the viewing.  Serious relaxation and good times ahead! 

Dinner ~ Name something that disappointed you this week.  Name something that made you happy or excited. 
Ok, I'm going to be totally honest - the biggest disappointment this week was that the viewing and funeral was scheduled smack-dab in the middle of our sisters retreat - which we have had scheduled and looked forward to for months.
Something that made me happy or excited was a visit from Sally - which I will post about at a later time.

Midnight Snack ~ List five to ten of your "go to" meals that you serve most frequently.
Since I rarely cook and I'm usually home alone in the evenings, my "go to" meals usually involve breakfast foods - they are quick and easy.  Cold cereal, oatmeal, french toast, and scrambled eggs are my favs.  If I do prepare meals, I will make up a batch of pulled pork or chicken salad so that I can have several days worth of sandwiches.  My most frequent cooked items are corn chowder and shepherd's pie.

 My favorite "go to" meal:  take out!
 
Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?)  
My recipe of the week is to work towards making choices in line with what the Lord has in mind for me.  Ever since my nursing journey began I felt that I have been lead and guided in ways that have lead me closer to a goal that only He knows.  I am so grateful, and am trying to stay in tune.

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
