Having Daughters

 Sometimes I get so discouraged about my grandchildren - it actually causes me to get in a frump, a deep FUNK!

But, yesterday, two things happened that made me so happy and made me find some JOY in having daughters. ( I mean, I always have joy in Kristi and Jenni, but this took my mind off my slump and made me realize I need to look for the good in life and not be so focused on the other things that upset me.)

Kristi's 51st birthday party.  

This made me so very happy. because Bridger, who lives in Washington DC, is there.

Bobby and Kristi invited him to join in their celebration.  Oh, that made my heart so very happy.

Then, Jenni called me yesterday.  I had told her a couple of weeks ago, that Tiffany and Seth are coming for a visit and I had invited them to Sunday dinner.  I then told her I was already stressed about it.  So, she called to tell me that she wants us all to go to her home to eat!  I felt like a fifty pound weight was lifted off each of my shoulders.  I was so relieved and so grateful.  

THANK YOU, Heavenly Father, for these two beautiful daughters.  They continually brighten my life.  

CAMP TIME for CALDER!

 Tuesday thru Saturday- he was a little nervous, but it will all be fine.  I sure love that kid - he's over by the car.  Just smiling away.

That Last Sunday in May

 Gordon and Linda Lyle, dear friends from many years past, invited us over for the most delicious dinner on Sunday evening.  Good food and delightful company.

THANKS, Gordon and Linda!  We LOVE YOU!

A Sunday in May

 

The Gym Rats go to church to listen to Freddy Wearrien....we all clean up pretty well.

Marty had not been to a Sacrament meeting in YEARS.  Ron is a former Bishop, Freddy is sort of the gym trainer, Loni is, well, just Loni.  And Kim is Miss Personality.

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!
