Summer Lunch at Grandma's and a Lobster sweater

 It was Lunch at Grandma's house today.  Andrew and Brooke go on Mondays.  I conveniently don't have golf today so I joined them.  We had Zupas and Nick and Andrew had Wing Stop.  Grandma didn't like the lettuce at the Zupas.  I love the lettuce.  

This is a better picture after I cleaned the camera..

Sunday I wore a new sweater and skirt (but no one even knows the skirt is new).  Sitting with God of of course early.

Couldn't decide what shoes to wear.  I found those blue ones in the closet in the box that I think I ordered last year and forgot them.  The vote was for the Blue shoes.

Here's the whole outfit.  A Lobster Sweater  Yes serious.  Lobster.  I also had some Lobster earings on that I ordered from Temu.  The sweater was from Jcpenney.  I got two compliments on the sweater at church.  Really No one even bother's with me at church.  

Nick came to church with me because he didn't work at Lowe's until 2:00.  He wasn't having a picture during church.  

Look at the cute shoes.  The blue were really cute.  I was afraid I would be too tall in them....I just can't be over 6 ft 6 in.

Later in the day watching the Golf Tournament on TV.  Poston won.  

I also found these shoes new in a box.  I think I need to wear them.  

Brooke was at work and the Ton was home. She was going to be late because they had an Otter born.  She needed someone to let out the Ton so I went to her new house in Syracuse and let him out.  It was probably the ONLY time he has been excited to see me.  

Took him on a walk

Jack turned 20 on the mission this week.  I sent him some Crumbl cookies for his Birthday.  Here's the delivery.  I was surprised they got there in about 30 minutes in Anchorage.  I was impressed.  I don't do Doordash so much but maybe I should.

Hecka miracles this week - Jack's email from Alaska

Don't got much time to write an email this week but I'll keep it quick. We had a lot of miracles and has been one of the most blessed weeks of my mission so far for sure. This has for sure been the most fun I've had on my mission recently its been so so good. 

Highlights- 

Put our friend tyler on Baptismal date 

Tyler showed up to church and went and bore his testimony 

A media referral billy went to church with us 

Found 3 more people to teach this week 

Lows 

Not much lows honestly can't even think of any 

It's been so good I've felt so blessed recently and have been loving my mission its been incredible. 

Spiritual thought: 

2016 talk by President oaks talks about how us as missionary and members need to work together to find people to bring to the gospel. It talks simply how the success is in the invitation and not the outcome. We need to invite people to jesus christ before inviting them to do something regarding out church. The focus of our church is on Jesus Christ and thats the most important thing happening in the world today.

Jack played some golf in Anchorage for his Birthday. These are Golf Course pics

It was also his Birthday.  This is his mission friends coming at 6:00 am to wish him happy birthday

My Fair Lady, Toes and Rose Park

 It was time for Hale again.  My Fair Lady.  It was two hours and 55 minutes.  Yes that's right.  One intermission.  

It was a great show.  It reminded me of my dad. I haven't seen My Fair Lady for years and years if I have seen it at all.  I knew lots of the songs because my dad sang them ALL the time.  So that was fun to think of him.

It was time for a pedicure. Michelle, Marlena and I went to Sparkling Nails in Centerville.  It was fantastic.  

Got a call that Andrew, Mark and Jerry had an opening for the back 9 at the Rose Park.  Sure I can.  I was at the Hotworx so I rushed home, changed clothes and headed to Rose Park.  

They walk, and I ride because I have to hit so much more and it keeps the pace of play faster.  

Andrew is analyzing his shot.  

That's my new Falcon Ridge shirt

Teeing off at the Blue tees

Course was in really good condition.  Best I have seen it for a few years.  I like it being a bit ghetto because then people don't want to play it and it isn't crowded.  

Great time, Great company and Great golf.  

Happy Birthday Grandpa, and a 3rd place finish

Grandpa Lewis died 8 years ago.  Today June 2 was his birthday.  Brooke and Andrew got a cake for Grandma to celebrate.  I drank a lot of Diet Coke in honor of him.  He loved a good Coke with crushed ice.  I mean a HUGE coke.  I thought about him also today as I heard him say "just let it go". He was big on letting things go and why don't you outnice people.  I hated that phrase the most.  Outnice someone?  Who wants to do that.  What good advice.  He also said one of the best ways to do missionary work is by not mentioning the gospel at all.  Just be good and friendly.  He also said that even if the Church of Jesus Christ is wrong in the end, it isn't a bad way to live.  

He loved his Mustang Convertible, Playing golf and big slab of steak or Prime rib.  He also loved a good cookie or donut.  My kids were raised at his house because he took them to school every day after they ate breakfast and he told them some jokes at the table each day.  He picked them up after Kindergarten and if Grandma wasn't home, they could go and get lunch somewhere.  However, if you went to the drive through window, you had to order from the back seat because he didn't know how to order at the drive through.  

Michelle and I played some golf on his birthdayw.  Actually it was a tournament.  He would have liked that and he would have been especially happy because look at the text we got after our tournament.  Yes I was in the top 3.  Who would have thought.

Miss him every day.  

Melanie 19 years, Metamucil, and Bountiful Ridge

 It is summer time and I don't have much to share.  Other than, it has been a Ben & Jerry's kindof life right now.  It is bargain therapy for $6.99.  Tonight Dough is one of my favorites.

May 30, it has been 19 years since Melanie died.  She loved Kit kats, so I ate a kitkkat in honor of her.  Well, I ate 4.  It is hard to believe it has been that long  Her kids are 26 and 24.  They were so young when she died.

This is Melanie before she got married and was at her best.  

Still doing my Metamucil challenge again.  Not sure what I'm suppose to feel like and how I know if I feel better.  

LOVE President Hinckley.  Someone posted this and I love it. Good advice for all.

Played golf at Bountiful Ridge.  Golfed the back 9.  I have only played there a few times. I didn't remember it and didn't do well, but it was fun until the rain came on hole 17.  

Sushi with a General Authority? - Jack's Email from Alaska

This week was hypeeeee not gonna lie, also very packed full of meetings and zoom call it was insane. We have 3 days full of 3 hour conferences and it was just a lot of information thrown at us for sure but it was blessed. We flew to Juneau on wednesday night and our confernece was the next day. I got to see a few of my mission buddies so that was cool. When we got to the airport on wednesday, my companion and I were the first ones to get there and we saw Elder Wada there. He invited us to get sushi with him and his wife so that was cool. Had to make sure I was on my A game lol. 

We flew back to Anchorage Thursday night, our flight got delayed so we didnt get in until 1 am. We then had a meeting at 9 am so that was kinda brutal not gonna lie. But it was a super cool experience for sure.

 Highlights

- I found a Spanish speaking guy using Google translate so like that was crazy 

-we found 4 more people regardless of countless hours of meetings

-I went to juneau

Low lights

- Those meetings had me cooked 

- we got a lot of new insight on how to teach out friends 

- some member gave us like $100 worth of groceries

Spiritual thought: Elder Wada was talking to us about how to really apply the book of mormon. He read 1 Nephi 1:1 where it says " I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents" and he talked about how every person in the room wants to be a good parent or how they have good parents. The way he was able to relate it in the moment was super cool about just one verse at a time and how they are so sincere. These are gifts we surely do take for granted.

Anyways send me an email would love to hear from you all!

Hair Dew on Thursdays

Today I took my car to the shop.  Andrew picked me up after he dropped Grandma off for her hair appt.  Andrew takes Grandma every thursday to her hair.  I tagged along with them since I didn't have a ride home.

He walks her out and has to carry the purse.  One time Michelle picked her up, the ladies in the shop were all wondering where her Grandson was today.  Guess they like him better than Michelle.

They have a routine.  Right after hair, Andrew orders McDonalds on his phone because they are getting close to time for Breakfast to be over.  

I'm in the back seat again looking over at this Cemetary from the Drive through Window.  

They go home and eat.  Andrew gets grandma a plate for her food and ketchup for her hash browns.  She's in the bathroom at this time.

Then today, they had to go to Costco to get her new Glasses.  

While they were getting her glasses, I went to the clothes and got some new slickers.  I hope I like them.

Then grandma wanted to see what clothes they have for her.  She got 3 shirts.  I will only buy something in Black on the bottom from Costco.  I did buy a shirt once at the Costco, and wore it and at lunch someone had the SAME shirt on as me.  I went home and threw it away.  Never again.  Grandma doesn't care because she's only sitting at home and going to the Dr. 

She wants this shirt, but we couldn't find it.  

I didn't get my car fixed today, but it is going to be about 200 to fix.  Great I can do that.

Andrew said It was difficult to take both of us today. .  .)  

Second day of Summer Vacation

I saw this on Bountiful High's Instagram.  89 days til we start school again. 

 I have to go back before that.  I just counted and I have 80 days of summer vacation.  I have never counted the days before.  Seems like a long time when it is just starting and it goes by soo fast.

Started Day 1 with Golf League at Mullians with Michelle.  Lunch at Marias.

Great time and great golf.  We actually played 18 holes because we played the 9 holes twice.  We are cool like that.

Day 2 of Summer Vacation, I started at the Hotworx with my new Blue Towel. I love that Towel.  So great for resting.  I did some Yoga and mostly rested through Pilates.  Tomorrow I'm really going to do the class. ..)

This was my night time snack.  It is from Mother's day

Michelle and Mark are both doing the Metamucil therapy.  I found mine from a long time ago, and it is still full.  It is suppose to lower Cholesterol and add fiber to your diet.  Guess won't hurt to try it since I already have it.
