Happy Anniversary to us. 44 years and counting......

We shopped for cars all day Fri & Mon and we're still married, so that's a good thing!
We started out looking at used cars at Enterprise Rentals and Ford with Shelby. Hit Costco. When Chels picked her up we headed back into SLC to look at new Kias and Hyundais. Decided on the new Kia because it was the same price as a lot of the used cars and has a great warranty. We did curbside pick up at Red Iguana 2 for dinner.  Aunt Bertha died today also. One of my favorite people. She brought out the best in my mom. I have many memories of going to their house when I was little and everyone played guitars and sang and her laughing and making wonderful food.

Mimi, Take my picture!

I will miss my Aunt Bertha!  ♥

A weird week

It's been a weird week.
Our neighbor Brandon committed suicide. He was an ex Marine and had some depression issues we knew of. Reminds me of a quote when I was in high school "War is not Healthy for Children and Other Living Things" when I wore a POW bracelet my senior year.

After finding out that, Chels was in a car accident. A car pulled in front of her in Stansbury. Her air bag went off and beat her up pretty good. Totaled my favorite car. My champagne color Ford Explorer that Tom surprised me with on Christmas Morning in 2005 with a big bow on it.

Mom's oldest sister Aunt Bertha fell today, went to the hospital, was sent home and fell again. She hasn't woke up since.


Things are opening up slowly. Tom and I got our hair cut this week. And we've been invited to go see our ID kids. So we may take the rental car we have from Insurance and go on a road trip.

Our 44th Anniversary is tomorrow. Hopefully by our 45th  we'll be on a beach somewhere and this corona virus will be gone. Happy I made the decision to choose the right partner to go through this life with.  As mom would say "More Luck than Sense"

Mothers Day 2020

We had a spa day. Chels dyed my hair and cut Grandmas while the boys went on a pontoon boat ride. Then Tom made BBQ Ribs, mashed potatoes and asparagus. And I hugged my momma for the first time in a couple months and told her what a wonderful mom she has always been. I told Chels thanks for dying my hair and she said well I probably caused them so it's the least I can do. ♥♥♥

Mimi Day Fri May 8th

I always ask if she wants to make cookies and she says no. So today after I made a homemade cheesecake and beef enchiladas she asks to make cookies. And not easy cookies. Sugar cookies where we cut them out and add sprinkles. So I had a great idea and got out graham crackers & frosting & sprinkles and she was happy.

Mimi Day 05-06-20

Shelby came over. We went for a walk with Oscar, then took a boat ride and a golf cart ride. She asked me "Mimi, why do you and Papa kiss and my mom and dad never do?"  We told once upon a time they did.

ZOOM

We learned something new today. Clay arranged for all of us to have a family ZOOM Meeting for Lacey's 29th Birthday. We all sang Happy Birthday and talked at once and were happy to be in one place all together.
