There is Beauty All Around.....

A trip to Greece.....

Months went into the planning; long to-do lists; trial and error while cooking each food at least once before hand, mostly twice; redoing the entire back patio; menu planning; meal prepping for the week before the event; more planning; and then the day arrived!

The entire event was perfect and included a surprise, totally unexpected visit by Lisa from Texas, who flew in for just one day to join the select event.  

Service was provided by an exclusive waiter named Brent....

An incredible meal followed up by a visit to the spa; which included both a hot and a cold plunge!  What a total event....

And what an amazing JENNIFER FISHER, with the help of BRENT FISHER!

Picture Time!

 

She looks good with purple hair and a nose ring, don't you think?  I do.  She also has an arm full of tattoos.  Thankfully, she can change it all in an instant!

Jessica Stout took me out for gelato today for my birthday - long gone.  It was so fun and it was delicious.

Thanks, Jessica, you are the best, as are your delight girls.  

It Went By TOO QUICKLY!

 

Last night at 11:30, we tool one final picture.  OH, it was just fun!

A Perfect Mother's Day

 

A Little Bit of That...

 ...and a little bit of this...

Our daughter-in-law meets with the KING Of ENGLAND.  How it all came about - who knows, but they did a background check on her.  And, she must have passed because there she is and there HE IS!!!!!!

March 2005 - that's when we met Garn and Dorothy...and we have been friends since that fateful day in the Middleton ward.  we don't see each other a lot, but occasionally go for a walk in the mall.  And, we talk and talk.  So FUN!  (I look like a rabbit in this picture, but whatever.)

A fun visit from Laurene and Val Starkey happened on Friday.  She's so inspiring.  

BAD Test Results

 Good grief, and here I thought I was so healthy.

Gotta try harder with my eating habits, that's for sure.  

But, what to believe about what is healthy or unhealthy?  It's a conundrum.

A Little Bit of This...

 ...and a little bit of that...

Every year, we give a few people a waxed amaryliss.  I was stunned to see it blooming in an outside pot.  It's still GROWING!  She potted it outside.  And, there it is in its full splendor.  Good job, Gigi.

Jessica Stout brought the activity girls over to perform a service.  They put the children's pictures books in alphabetical order.  They worked quickly and efficiently.  And, they figured out a system very quickly.  I was super impressed.  Thanks, Ivy, Eden, Olivia, Mabel, Maddie, Tylee, and Oakley.
