Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
Breakfast ~ How do you spend your evenings when you have no where to go?
Earlier in my life I hated evenings when I had nowhere to go – I felt that I always needed to run somewhere, to find fun or someone to visit.  I would drag Kim and the kids out – to a movie, to a friend’s house, bowling, anywhere but home.
Since I have become an empty nester (and a college student, and a work-a-holic) I have learned to treasure quiet evenings at home with nowhere to go and nothing that has to be done.  Now I spend most of my free time on the computer, listening to my favorite music and either playing games, surfing Pintrest, or blogging.  And just recently I have gotten addicted to family history work and connecting families and learning their stories.

Lunch ~ Name three of your favorite restaurants located anywhere and three of your favorite that are local. 
Ooooo how to decide my favorite restaurants?  Tough question!  I love barbeque pork, especially ribs, so top on my list has to be Tony Romas, but in that same vein is my new fav, Dickies.  Texas Roadhouse is great also.  I went to La Caille once and had the most amazing Crème Brulee ever! 
Locally Maddox is the absolute best.  I’m so happy that we now have a Costa Vida because I love that as well as Café Rio.  Idle Isle and Old Grist Mill are my favorite go-to places to eat with friends.

Dinner ~ What gets neglected the most at your home in the cleaning department?
Cleaning in general! 

Midnight Snack ~ What are some of your hidden talents?
I don’t have any hidden talents, I’m afraid that everyone knows everything about me.  Oh – here is one, I am (was) quite accomplished at baton twirling!

Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?)  
Surviving my first day of classroom teaching!  So excited and absolutely terrified!  Of course the first topic I get to teach is Sexually Transmitted Infections!  Talk about jumping in with both feet!
Kim’s Answers
Breakfast ~ How do you spend your evenings when you have no where to go?
Sitting on my butt.
Lunch ~ Name three of your favorite restaurants located anywhere and three of your favorite that are local. 
The Empress of China in San Francisco, (Audrey wishes she would have thought of that!), Rodizio Grill, and La Caille.
Do we have restaurants locally?
Dinner ~ What gets neglected the most at your home in the cleaning department?
I’m supposed to clean?
Midnight Snack ~ What are some of your hidden talents?
Advanced drowning.  Also the ability to make people shake their heads and laugh.
Recipe of the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?)  

Get out of bed without leaving any body parts behind.

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
