We're good except we need a date tonite and may have to go with just us two.

Call from Carole approx. one hour later: OK~ spur of the moment. We'll be there in time for dinner. And they were. We went to La Fountain for a smothered burrito. Then to the SLC Arts Festival on Sat afternoon.

Sunday for Tom's birthday Clay and family called and K Wanted to know what kind of party Papa was going to have. I told him he wanted to have a Costco party.  We weeded the garden, drove into SLC to buy steaks for dinner. We also had lettuce, zucchini & tomatoes from our garden. And we got 6 holes of golfing in with Boo where he literally got a birdie.

Fathers Day 2014 on Tabby Mountain ~ We had a great day. Peggy's kids were there and us. We took yummy desserts; Choc covered strawberries, strawberry shortcake, and carrot cake. We got Big Tom a honeysuckle plant he wanted and Boo got to shoot his BB gun.

 Little Dennis Loved Boo!

Mimi Day~This is the Place Fieldtrip~we only spent six hours here today. Two hours gold panning for fools gold.

Everytime I walk by this old rusty box I think it would make a good backdrop for a picture. So Boo and I walked over to get W&C's mail and he let me snap this with my cell phone. We went putting also on Mimi Day and this old guy told Gavin "Your mom sure is nice to take you golfing" and he just laughed. Boo just looked at him and smiled and I agreed with him. I think he was hitting on me. ha On Sat Boo also helped his football team the Jet's make it to the playoff's. He played an awesome game; intercepted two passes, threw several great passes as the quarterback, and grabbed 1/2 dozen flags. It was an awesome game. He was so excited I even got a kiss on the lips after the game. Can't beat that.

week end recap

Fri night Marsha & Gary had us over for dinner on their back deck in Tooele.

Sat Boo had football. They played Marsha's grandsons undefeated football team and won. Playoffs here we come!!! Sat night we had our first ever Ice Cream Party for the neighborhood. It was fun, met lots of new faces. Sunday W&C stopped by for a breakfast burrito on the way to their new home in Driggs, ID and Tom and I worked in the yard all day. We got this beautiful chandelier from W&C. It adds lots of pizazz to our old gazebo. And Boo/Chels bought me the first book in a series of Percy Jackson books his teacher has been reading him at school. Boo and I read the first chapter in the gazebo with an ice tea. Then Dakota's graduation party Sun night. A fun week end.
