Viva Las Vegas


We went to Vegas.  Guess what?  It was warm. Have mercy on my soul, I need to be a Snow bird. 


We went to Donny Osmond's show. I'm not a huge fan, but I knew the show would be clean and entertaining. It was. We fit in perfectly. My first thought was, 'I had no idea that he had 65 albums and is working on a new one.'

Across the table from us was a 75 year old woman and her daughter in law from Stockton California. Wes and the daughter in law left to get beverages and this woman said to me, 'I need to talk to you.'. She proceeded to tell me about the death of her daughter on December 24. Completely out of the blue. She then shared her greif with me. We talked about how much it hurts, every night. 

She didn't cry, but I did. I'm grateful that she could share, and it's happened before, but I'm always surprised. 

We had our own loss this week. Wes's nephew passed away after a long battle with Cancer. Brian Hall...he has struggled with I don't know what, most of his adult life, but I hope he has found peace.


On a lighter note we were observing the Sphere on our ride over and it is fun to watch. Vegas is big, loud and crowded, but it felt good to be warm.

Earlier in the day we went to the St. George temple.

Found delishes creaps and a great cross stitch shop.


On the way home I couldn't help but notice the lack of snow on the Nevada mountains. We desperately need a month of storms. 

Snow birds for the win...
If your a vessel, let them talk to you...
Trust....

Harvest Blessings

Image
I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

Walks, Lake Day and I've had Enough

Image
I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'. I don't even have words to describe how weird I think this is.   Sometimes I feel like he has joined a club that I want no part of.  If you have any words of wisdom....I need them.  I have been thinking about my mom and these were her words of wisdom...Men are weird and they get weirder w...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....
