Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions:

 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 

Breakfast ~ What was a happy moment this week? 
A happy moment this week was playing games with Ashley and Marilyn.  I just love playing games with good friends.

Lunch ~ What was a sad moment this week?
Sometimes teaching is difficult.  It is very frustrating and hard when you give students every opportunity to succeed but yet they choose not to take advantage for some reason.  This week I realized that I apparently care more about one student’s success than she does.  In this world of instant gratification some students don’t care or don’t understand that they have to put in an enormous amount of time and effort in order to become a successful nurse and they get frustrated when things are not just handed to them.  This concept makes me very sad.

Dinner ~ What happened that surprised you this week?
An unexpected and unwelcome surprise this week was that Jason got into an accident while driving Shandra’s car.  Fortunately it was a minor accident, but it served as a reminder about how fragile life is and that things can change in just an instant.  It was also a great reminder about how careful we need to be when driving because just one moment of not paying strict attention can cause an accident.  I believe that all of us at times become very lax when driving because we do it so much. 

Midnight Snack ~ What happened that didn't surprise you this week?
Let’s just say that an anticipated gift was not given, but it didn’t surprise me – in fact I would have been surprised if it had been given.


Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)

I think it's so awesome that you get together to play games. I have another friend that just started a Monday Game Day and I have yet to make it (since it's in Hooper) but it sounds so fun. One day.
Your lunch seems so common these days. I don't think these youngsters understand that not everything in life is just handed to them. They are so used to instant gratification that they expect in all things without working for it. It is a worry to me.
Glad Jason was okay. So many distracted drivers now days. I am fear of my life when I run.
Sorry about your no show gift.
LOVE your recipe of the week!
Thanks so much for playing and have a GRAND rest of your birthday!

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
