Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions:

 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 

Breakfast ~ Have you ever won a trophy?  What for?
The only trophy I remember winning is for baton twirling.  I was quite the twirler in my youth.  Unfortunately, my instructor moved so I quit taking lessons.

Lunch ~ Have any question answered, what would it be?
Wow!  That is very broad . . . I think that one question I would love to have answered is why so many elderly people often end up reverting to a state where they no longer are able to care for themselves?  A state where they seldom have anything left, including their dignity.

Dinner ~ What did you do on the 4th of July?  What are some of your traditions for the holiday?
We ended up camping with family for the 4th of July.  When the kids were young we always went camping over the Independence Day week and we loved it.  Life happened and it has been many years since we went camping.  It was good to go again.
Until we became empty nesters we never missed the big fireworks event at Pioneer Park, but now we are old fuddy duddies and just stay home.

Midnight Snack ~ What is your favorite bumper sticker?
I don’t really like bumper stickers, so I don’t have a favorite.

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

Absolutely LOVE the Yoda quote! I want that hanging in my house somewhere!
Glad you got to go camping! How fun! We haven't been camping for ages! I think I agree with your lunch. It is pretty sad that we live a good life and our reward is to get old!
I wish I would have known you when we were younger and we could have twirled baton together! I spent so many hours practicing that thing! Sometimes I wonder what for. Do you ever think about that? Was the time worth it? I did make a good income from it for about 6 years or so as an instructor, but sometimes I wonder if the things we learn and do in our youth is worth the time. Then I thought, well it keeps us out of trouble and teaches us discipline and maybe that is the point. Sorry - totally rambling!
Thanks for playing!

At least you made some money from your twirling talent! I just had fun with mine. We should find some and see if we could still perform well.

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!

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 ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
