Still sick

"Feeling Sick"

I got the bug! This is exaclty how I feel. Even stayed home from church. A little fever sore throat and blowing my nose till I feel like my head is going to come off. Thank goodness the Thanksgiving weekend is coming up so I can sleep in and doing nothing but be quite. I need the rest. I have been running around with this new job and everything else I have not had any time to just relaxI guess it has just caught up with me.

"Nothing like a bowl of soup"!

Since I am not feeling well, with a sore throat, and it is cool, soup was on the menu for dinner tonight. I just notice, that this is my second post on food and what we had for dinner. Oh well. Cheddar Potato Soup with chicken in it. It was so good and so hearty. I love soup when I don't feel good. I got up early with Mom and we went to help a family in the ward that was having a wedding reception in there backyard. I was not up to it at all. But once we got there, it all went well. There where only 2 other sisters there to help. We got a lot done and where done by 4 this afternoon. Dad showed up as well to help with putting some lights up in some trees. I could not stay to see the end product, I was fading fast. I am sure mom will give the scoop later.

"Homemade Hamburgers"

Yes we did have a nice burger like this for dinner. Lots of different lettuce on the bun. Yum it was delis. I can not eat both buns so I opt for just the bottom bun with all the goods on top. A nice Friday night dinner. The weather is perfect to BBQ. However I feel a sore throat coming on. So off to bed early tonight. Everyone have a great weekend.

"Making a Memory"

Today while I was at the grocery store and saw this package of gum. This gum always reminds me of my late Grandpa Davis. (my fathers, father) He always had this gum in his shirt pocket and his breath always smelled good! So I bought a pack, got in the car opened it up, could smell the "Doublement" smell, put a piece in my mouth and was taken back to some very sweet memories of my Grandpa Davis. He was so sweet and so kind to us grandchildren. I will always remember him with this "Doublement Gum" in his shirt pocket. I can still see it today. I miss him.

"A Fantastic Surprise"!

I get this phone call from my mom and she says "hurry come over your cousin Frank is here from California and he has about an hour for a visit." Thank goodness I only live 3 blocks from mom and dad. This is my cousin Frank from CA. He was out here having a meeting with some Judges on a case that he is working on and had some extra time before his plane left back to CA, so he called and said he was on his way over. What a fantastic surprise and a special visit we had. This is my cousin on my Dads side of the family. My fathers sister's son. He is awesome. I have not seen him for sometime so it was a good hour and half that we had to visit and get caught up on. I love it. Thanks Frank for taking the time to come by. I will treasure the time we all had while you where here. I love you.

"Trick or Treat"

Here is one of my "Trick or Treaters" taking a rest from walking. She is so adorable. My little neighborhood darlings! She was singing me a song with her fake microphone it was adorable! What she was singing I have no idea, but it did not matter, she was having a great time and she wanted to come to "Lisa's" house to sing and get some candy. We only had about 25 kids come by. Not like it used to be when we moved in the neighborhood 18 yrs ago. We would run out of candy. All the kids have grown up and have moved or gotten married. Life goes on.

Josh and Meredith came by, as did Mom and Dad. I have made "Ghoul-Ash" for dinner over noodles with a toss green salad and fresh steamed asparagus. It was delis. Mom brought a cake desert. She always makes a cake look like a million dollars. Thanks mom! She is always good with desserts. We had a good time passing out candy and just downloading from the week and visiting.
