Golf at Murray Parkway

The weather has been soo great that we are able to get out and golf.  I did find this 3/4 zip up in my closet that I decided to wear because it is blue.  It was a size smaller so it fit better than other things in my closet.  I like the golf motif too.  It was from the Temu. Who would have thought.  

Here's my usual golf wear. . . 

Played at Murray Parkway.  It was beautiful and so great.  I only took one pic.  Not sure it matters that I need to take a bunch but it was fun and love the Parkway.  This is where Jack wanted to play before his mission and we couldn't get on.  We will have to play it when he gets back.

Nick's home for Spring Break and Rose Park

 Nick came home late on Saturday night.  He said he wanted to chat with Josh and Robert at church.  Ok.  I couldn't figure that out, but it was the start of Spring Break.  Andrew wanted to know if Nick was home, so here's proof that Nick was home.  He was at church with me.  

Here's good advice for me to remember

Andrew decided we needed to play Golf on Sunday.  He and I were going to play, but with Nick coming home, we added Nick and then for a 4 we added Lili.  

Warming up at the driving range.  Andrew said since he is such a great customer, the guy gave him a free large bucket.  

Nick hit a ball almost to the Parking lot.  Good thing he didn't hit any cars.

This is the 2nd hole, which is SUPER long on Redwood road. It is a Par 5.  Kills me.

We decided to walk.  I haven't been walking golf for very long.  So great to get out and walk and be in God's country with my fam.  It would have been better if I had beat all of them.  Nope. Not today

Nick and Andrew getting ready to Tee Up

I did need to rest after the walking.  Andrew is super nice and let's me use the good pull cart.  His has a stool, but he forgot to put the stool on the cart.  He said we were only playing 9 so I didn't need to sit.  Well, yes I do...

I thought Nick needed a pic for his Mutual account. He said he already had one with that shirt on...Can't have more than one pic with the same shirt.  No you can't.  All my golf pics have the same clothes.

Great way to spend a Sunday Afternoon. I suppose we should have stayed home and did Come Follow Me.  We are more golfers than come follow me people.  :)  I did teach primary today so that was some Come Follow Me.

Cinemark Movie Club

About a year ago, I was at the movies and they were advertising the Movie Club.  It sounded kindof stupid, but decided to sign up.  It costs like 11.00 a month, and you get a movie ticket for that 11.00.  Plus you get NO online fees for purchasing tickets.  I think you can purchase up to 6.  You also get 20% off concessions and earn rewards.  

We have been going to more movies.  We have seen a few good ones.  The Accountant was great.  We also saw Anaconda and Crime 101.  Tonight we saw Solo Mia.  

It is such a great thing.  It just gets you out more to see a movie.  I love the app too.

We got a large popcorn and two large drinks.  I had a reward for a free drink, so we got all that

 for $12.00.  

Been thinking of going to the Oscar Movie marathon.  For 40.00 you can see all the movies that are up for an Oscar.  I think there are like 8 or 9.  Great deal.  I probably won't see all of them, but it miht be fun to watch them all.  

Spirit Week

We have this weird spirit week.  Teachers have a theme each day and we don't tell the kids.  Monday was construction day so we had on flannel shirts and construction vests. These are the people in the lunchroom with gear on. I'm the second from left.  In my safety vest I got at Harbor Freight.  Yep $5.99

Tuesday was wear an apron day and I don't have any pics of me at school.  This is the best I could do.  I got this at Walmart and I think its pretty cute.  I have wanted an apron for a while.  

Wed was anything but a cup day.  We have drinks in the faculty room and we are to use anything but a cup.  Here's my cup for the day.

This is kindof stupid but I didn't know what else to use.  I did have a vase to use but they don't have a lid.  When I got it at the Dollar store, the guy said 'oh I got the lemon one because I thought they were so cute.". Seriously from a dude at checkout.

Thursday was Scarf day.

That is my scarf if you can tell that.  I hate scarfs.  

Friday was tacky tourist day

Shirt in or

Shirt out.  Brooke said in.  (I really should clean up the bathroom if I'm going to take these pics in the mirror)

I decided in because I had to use my fannypack.

Cynthia (sub that we like), Me, Raquelle, Tina, Christen  all participated.

It is so dumb and soo fun at the same time.  

-25 this week - Jack's email from Alaska

What up everyone. Another week down this week was pretty chill for the most part I would say. It got super cold this week so that was lowkey buns but that's alright. I am covering in the same stake as Luke from the outdoor boys so that's pretty tuff. But let's get into the week..

2/24: today we had district council which was hecka fun today. We did all that meeting and stuff and talked a lot lol. We then afterwards went and did stop bys after. We had a member meal at this one dudes house and it was good. Then we went and shared a message at another members home. That was good and they gave us cookies so that was tuff. I was hecka sick today so that was buns though.

2/25: we had two lessons today one with a member and then one with our friend and that was good. My comp lowkey spit hecka false doctrine but he didn't notice so that was good. We ended up just doing a lot of stop bys for the rest of the day. We then just had dinner at our apartment

2/26: we did service this morning which sucked. It was like -20 and cold and brutal everything hurt it was bad. But we did all that and did some stop bys and then weekly planned so that was good. We then had dinner at this Polynesians house and it was so good. 

2/27: we went to girdwood today which is like an hour away so that was cool and it's hecka pretty there. We got a door slammed in our face so that was chill. We had the ward party tonight here so that was good. Got to talk to a lot of the members that we don't know so it was a good day. 

2/28: my comp was sick today which he probably got from me lol. So we didn't do work today just a lot of phone contacts and it was honestly a long day for sure. We did go to our members meal and have some bussing ribs so that was clutch.

 Spiritual thought

Mosiah 4:6 

Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.

Mitchell fixing all the things

Mitchell has a woodworking business.  He is crazy busy and does such nice work.  We hired him to fix some stuff in our house.  The second drawer front was broken off for the last 7 years.  Mitchell fixed it and fixed the drawer above it that was starting to break.  It is so nice to finally have all the drawers with the fronts attached.  

He also fixed this piece on the banister.  We do need to paint it.

He fixed the back door that has looked like this for about 10 years

The door to the garage hasn't shut all the way unless it is dead bolted.  I asked chili to fix it long ago, and all he did was take the plate off and that made this situation worse splitting the door frame.  

Mitchell cut the bad out, and put this piece in.  He needed it to dry so he needs to come back and drill out the place for the plate.  We have to be very careful to shut the door and not let it slam until he does that.  It is soo great to have the door shut and not have to be locked.  

Look at that door shut

I come in the front door or up the stairs and I see that poster of Jack.  I miss him so much.  He is doing the Lord's work in Alaska.  10 months.  Love him and miss him.

Cleaning out at School - 32 years of stuff

I have been teaching for 32 years.  Yes that is a long time.  I started out teaching Human Biology, Biology and Physical Science.  This is my Human Biology stuff that I haven't taught for 27 years.  

It has been sitting in my room for that long, I decided it was time to get rid of it.  I am NOT teaching that ever again, and if I did I would need more modern material.  Each of these binders are a Unit.  

calendar to plan each unit

Yellowed tape 

Overhead notes

My list of videoclips from a Laser disc player.  We were top notch in technology with a laserdisc.  

Guided notes for each student

Sat for so long they are stuck to the binder.

This is how we use to take tests.  Scantron.  This was from 1996

My lecture notes. .  

My favorite - The heart

It is a bit nostalgic to look at all these and reminisce how much work I put into those lessons and they have sat for 27 years.  Too old to use now and Old font and Overhead projectors that we don't even use now.  Getting that much closer to retirement or I could be dying wanting to get rid of my old stuff.
