Friends and Sunset; Eequals a Perfect Sabbath Evening.

 What better way to spend a Sunday evening than going for a walk with Susie, Tom, and Ulla?  

It was perfect.  And, I'm very grateful for their friendship and the beautiful world that God created.

This Makes Me Smile....

 My Grandparents GEE on their 60th wedding anniversary:

Honestly, does this look like the faces of happily married people.  This makes me sad.  Was grandpa really that unhappy?   Why are they so stone-faced?

But, I'm grateful for those two people; they raised an incredible son, my father, so I can't judge their expressions.  They were amazing parents to five high-achieving sons.

Here's a picture of Allen and me on our 60th anniversary - we were having such a grand time; just the two of us, with thousands of other people,  in Disney World.  But, maybe our situation was different.  Different times, different people.  

We, too, have five amazing children.  They are wonderful, in spite of us bumbling along.  And, I'm so grateful for the blessing of having such grand children.

  

The Monday, Wednesday, Friday Group

 

The Gang of FOUR....who make it lots more fun to go to the gym.

Freddy, concert to the church and ex Marine; Marty, the fisherman who loves to proudly show his latest catches: Bishop Ron, whose wife just died recently so he's not Bishop Ron any more.  He's also an ex Marine, convert to the church and just the greatest guy around.  And, in the long-sleeved blue shirt is Rod, widower, but not for long; he's getting married soon, even tho he vowed never to marry again.  every Friday he brings teh BEST home-made chocolate chip cookies EVER.  He makes about six dozen a week to share.  

Chatting with these guys makes going to the gym a delight.  

Just two seconds was all it took....

 for the car to flip over.  The lady driving was in a quiet neighborhood, glanced down at her phone, and flipped over after hitting a parked truck.  In an hour, it was all cleaned up and everything was back to normal on our street.  But, not for that lady, whose life changed in an instant.  She's okay.  THANKFULLY!

EVERY YEAR..

 ...Kristi, Bobby, and Jordan host a HOT CHICKEN WINGS party to see who can eat the hottest of the hot sauces.

Here's a picture of the winners;  Kristi and Bobby gave an incentive this year...to all the people who made it to the end, they got a HAT!  HAHAHHA.  I'd forgo the hat!

But, here they are.  SPICE MASTER generals.  Crazy people.  But, fun times.

You've Got to Taste the Bitter

 to appreciate the sweet!

The BITTER - but Jennis confident that little BLAIRE FISHER (6 months) will be fine under the care of the children's hospital in Lehi, Utah.  

In the meantime, here are her two older sisters under the ever watchful eye of Grand ma Hackworth.  

Her's me trying on some Easter finery with Sheryl Sullivan.  This makes me want an Easter hat!

I love it; it's adorable.

Made Me Smile

 This is Jordan's signature when he emails others.  It's so funny.  And clever.  And real.  

It's good to have a doctor who is not pompous.
