On a DAY........

 Long ride into the wild regions of St George.

The sign says: WELCOME TO MOTOQUA, but then it says, Private property...do not enter...Which one is the right answer?!??!?!?!?!?


Later in the night, I FINALLY finished the pink baby blanket.   I ran out of yarn about six inches from the end of the very last row.   GRRRRRR.

Here it is beside the one I finished a few months ago.  


What will I do with them?  Who knows?  No one wants crocheted stuff any more!  

This represents many hours of watching THE CHOSEN television series, which Allen and I have both just loved.

The Day Emma Had Her Missionary Farewell...

 ....was a mighty fine day indeed.  Lots of family, food, good talks, and being in the presence of truly great people....









My brother, Katy, won't eat cheese, but he LOVES potato chips!  We must be related!

GYM HEROES

 

Rod is a lawyer and was a JAG (Judge Advocate General) in the Navy.  He's widowed and has no desire to marry again because he had the perfect wife.  Every Friday he brings home-made chocolate chip cookies.  I don't usually have them as I don't stick around long enough.  But, they are delicious.

Dee is turning 100 on November 23.  He inspires me on a daily basis.  He was born in Virginia, Idaho.  He drives himself to the gym.  And, he comes almost every day.  What an inspiration.  

Freddie should be the official greeter in every ward...he just is always smiling and yelling out names as people come into the gym.  "Good morning, Loni!" he'll boom from clear across the room.  "Get busy!"  He is a convert to the church and loves the Gospel and his wife and his car.  It is spotless with white interior.  He is a hard worker in the gym and years ago, I paid him to be my trainer.  

These are committed to working out faithfully.  There are a couple other regulars, but they weren't there for this photo shoot.  But, I do love my gym family.  Makes it fun to go.
