Finishing off 2019. November and December.

I helped to coordinate a reunion for all of the specialists in the Mother Newborn Committee. We met at the Relief Society Building. Sharon spoke to us. We had a musical number by Greg and Marcia that was really nice. It was so fun to see so many people that we had associated with over the years. 



 I had a cake made for the event that was very yummy and beautiful. 
 The next morning we got up and drove to St George and had a  fun weekend. It was a quick trip but very nice to be down there. 
 I put up the Christmas tree to get the house ready for Christmas. 

 Had a fun dinner at Ruth's Diner in Salt Lake City with Beth and Gary. Sorry no picture.  
 The next night we had dinner with Mike and Julie. 
 We put up a Christmas tree for the first time in our new home. 

 We made a trip to Peru to develop a course. 
 The trip was a success as we met with the Ministry of Health about doing the next trainings. 
 The Roses took us to the yummiest place for chicken dinner. 
 Our last night there we went to our favorite Italian place in Lima. 
 Jeff shared a pass along card with our taxi driver. He said that he has always wanted to learn about the Church but nobody has shared anything with him. He drove us to the Church Office Building. 
 There were a couple of hours to do something so we went to this car museum. It is owned by a man named Nickolini. He has been collecting cars for his whole life. The place is a gem for cars. There were so many great cars there including some that were the only one left on earth.  






 Chip Foose has been working on one in the body shop. 

 After seeing the museum we stopped at a little place on a small lake and had crepes. It was a perfect ending to the afternoon. 

 Back at home we had the Clarks visit us. We took time to do some family pictures. 

 Stockton found some ice that he was proud to carry around. 




 We went to see Christian play with his band, The Hobosapiens. Holly was there also. 
 Crazy but I still have some of the hives hanging ons. 
 Someone form Kate Spade called to let me know someone was trying to charge top my credit card. Thousands of dollars worth of boots. Ugly boots. It was a complicated mess. 


 For Thanksgiving we went to Eagle and ate at Leslie's home. It was a lot of fun. 


 Edie took some cartoonish pictures of us all. 





 We all went to a couple of movies. We saw Frozen 11 and Jumanji. 


 Here is a blast from the past. Were we ever that young?


 I had a chance to snow shoe at Harriman Park. Unfortunately my snow shoe broke and I had to hobble back in. 




 We went to a viewing and Jeff got to be in a picture with all of these people that he delivered. 
 We needed one more flight to make Platinum with Delta. SO we hopped a plane to Orlando. We spent a day at Disney World Animal Kingdom with Lauren, Floyd and Fletcher. We did not know they were also going to be there. It was raining but warm and a lot of fun. 






 Back at home it was our turn to host dinner club. It was a Christmas party. We exchanged socks which turned out to be a lot of fun. 
 Jeff's cousin Gordon passed away. This was his group of pall bearers. 
 Bart Webster had a birthday party at the Teton Grill. Santa showed up and had us all laughing. 





 We decided to try a Hot Chocolate party for our neighborhood. It was fun and we had a pretty good turnout. We served cookies and a hot chocolate bar. 

 Merry Christmas to us!


 I found out that I have a bit of scoliosis. My back gives me problems and now I know why. 
 New Years Eve 2019. We went with friends to the hatchet throwing place. It is harder than it looks. 

 As mid nite arrived we walked around Smith Park. A cold clear night. Someone was lighting off fireworks that looked pretty against the trees. 

 The night was topped off with hot chocolate and French fries at McDonalds. Happy New Year to all of our great friends.
