McRib, Aquarium, Planet and Snowman

Went to McDonalds the other day and saw this sign. Ty would be so happy.  He loves a good McRib.  Melanie too.  Not sure if there is a good McRib but they like them.  I should try them but they kindof remind me of mystery meat.  


The Abonimable Snowman was on TV the other day.  ALWAYS reminds me of Jack.  He was so scared of him.  

Jack has been home from college.  He was using my computer, drinking my coke and eating my kitkat IN my bed. 



Too snowy to golf right now.  West Bountiful has snow


Jack wanted to go to the Planet with me.  I dusted off my membership and he used the treadmill.



I opted to use the hydromassage after about 4 minutes of riding the bike.  


Abi and Brody opted to go feed the Penguins with Brooke 






Brooke and Ty and Ton got their pic with Santa

Thanksgiving Weekend Golf

 
Saturday of the Break, we ventured out for some Golf.  Glen Eagle was open and had carts.  We got a tee time.  Sandra, Kent, Maureen and Jack.  We invited Jack because he is gone and we don't get to golf with him very much.  




We played 18 holes which I don't do that often.  It was cool and crisp and fabulous.  We played the back 9 first, then the front.  It was only super cold the last few holes.  



Gotta get me one of these seat covers.  Mine doesn't fit all the carts like SAndra's does of course.  


Jack and I carted together.  We did have the golf heater but ran out of fuel about the last 5 holes.  It would have been better if we had a cart cover.  That is being ordered.


Great time with Jack.  He is funny and a pretty good golfer.  He was a good sport golfling with us old duffers.  




Thanksgiving 2024

Love my Nick.  Here's a video I found on my phone

Thanksgiving started out with wanting to Thanksgiving Golf.  Nope.  Course closed.


That is what it looked like at Lake Side.  No go.  So Nick, Andrew, Jack and Brody went to the Turkey bowl at the park instead.  That was better because it was free.  It was fun to drive home from the gym and see all the Turkey Bowls that were going on at all the parks. 

While they were playing football, Abi helped me get all the Food Ready. 


We had 20 lbs of potatos. We probably needed like 5.  


Here's the mexi dip, salad and green bean casserole.  We had lots of all of that left.


Turkey was good compliments of Marti


Bingo as usual.  Andrew was the caller due to Grandpa dying and Mark not coming.  He did a good job.  Look at that nice spinner thing.


Lots of prizes.  If you notice, lots of them have money taped to them.  There are usually 3 gift cards in there to McDonalds or Maverick. I have never gotten one 



Here's my gift I chose




After Thanksgiving, we headed over to the Golf Simulator.


I think I was too tired to go.  But the rest of them went to Golf.

Another  great day of Thanksgiving.  Fun fact, we had all the Clemons in attendance today.  That hasn't happened in a LONG time.  Probably like 6 years.  Abi has been gone for at leaset 6 years.

I love having them all together.

Michelle had all her family except for  Blake and his family.

Mark didn't come.  He stayed home with his family.

Duster

 Love me a good Duster.  This is my Grandma Stella wearing her Duster.  My duster love comes from her.  She liked being in her duster around 4:00 pm.  Love that about her.




Here's another Duster.


These are my Dusters I got.  There are 4 here.  I found a great place to get them and I'm afraid they will go out of business so I need to stock up.  I haven't found a better duster than these.


This is Abi's duster.  Brooke and I got it for her.  It has cats on it.  We don't like cats so that is why it is so great.

Brooke got a duster but she decided to leave it behind the door hanging up in the bathrom of her hotel in Boston.  Dang.  It was brand new and patriotic.  So sad.

Happy Birthday Maureen 58 Years old

 I had another birthday.  I have been around for 58 years.  That has to be impossible.  But my Birth Certificate says I was born in 1966.  

Brooke organized everyone and we went to my favorite place, Golden Ginger Bistro in Clearfield.  

Brooke got the Curry Chicken and I got the Yakisoba Noodles and shared them.  I'm not so sure brooke shared the noodles or I just shared the curry...:) 


Most of these get the General Tao's Chicken.  On the Dinner if they want fried rice or just the entree if they want more chicken.  Jack opted for the more chicken option.  


These are all my favorite peeps.  Well, and Michelle and Lynne too.  Love them all.  

Love that they organized and spent time with their old mother.  They even brought the Grandma so she didn't get mad.  And the Kent paid which he didn't have to but so nice.


This is the sushi I shared with Kent.  It was Crazies and Super Spicy


This is Brooke's California Roll.  No fish I think

Jack being fed Sushi by Ty.  He said it wasn't that bad.  Good thing because he was in the corner and couldn't have gotten out very fast.


He was the last one served so he was sampling some of my noodles as he pondered the Sushi.  


Nick ate the whole thing.  Good Job Nick.


From the Grandma.  Always the right size with some money inside


Abi had this waiting for me after school.  LuLu and a Vuori bag, lemon pies, brownies and confetti.


Found the Happy Birthday sign and put it up.  :)


Brownies with green frosting like a golf course.  And a golf cart on the top.


Inside those bags is a LuLu sports Bra that zips (since I can't get one over my head anymore) and some Vuori socks.  Wow can't wait to try on the sports bra.  



It looks like it will be good for sitting :)
Can't wait to try it out and the socks.  I am liking nice socks lately.

So thoughtful and can't believe they even want to celebrate me.  They are my everything.  Love them to the moon and back.

Piercing Party

 Brooke and Lily wanted to get their ears pierced a few more times.  Abi is a Piercer at Rowans.  It is a cute piercing store in Farmington Station.  They are staffed by Nurses who do the piercing and Abi is an RN.  She has been working there since they opened a few weeks ago.



You can't tell they are sisters...And Brooke could have worked there in her all Black like Abi


Getting ready to go.  Abi was so professional and asked if it was a special occasion for the piercing or if we had fun plans for the rest of the day...(Ha my petpeeve when stores ask me that.  Because the store is usually the event for the day)


Brooke added that one at the top.  Such fabulous precision

Abi has one too. She had one of the girls pierce her ear up there when they were training so the Girl could get some experience.


All done


Lily decided to get a piercing too.  This is before.  Notice the Red clips that you get to keep to hold your hair back. 


After pictures.  Lily was so brave too. 




Abi did a great job.  The store is super cute.  Glad I got to go watch.  I hope if Abi starts to do Tatoos that everyone doesn't want to get a tattoo.  



Update:  Brooke went in for an earing change.  Love that.



I'm not getting any more piercings.  I have two in one ear.  About 35 years ago, Melanie and I decided to get an extra hole on one of our ears.  We paid for one piercing and each got one.  Well, Melanie paid for sure.  Then we got a pair of diamond earings to wear on the extra hole.  I preferred to wear two hoops in that ear for a while.  Now I don't even wear one on that hole.  Maybe I should start.  I'll get a pair of hoops and see if anyone notices.
