MCKY'S EAGLE COURT OF HONOR

Last night Misty's oldest boy McKy received his Eagle rank in boy scouts. His cousins (Mike's boys) Austin and Devan were there. They received their eagles about 18 mos. previously. It was so great to see those three all dressed with all their badges. A wonderful night. Garn gave McKy a bronze eagle statue as he did for Austin and Devan. It's a beautiful reminder of their achievement.

On Wed. Mike, Marcie, Austin and Devan will drive to Marin and JR's house in Kirtland, Wash. It takes about 12 hrs. It'll be great for them to share Thanksgiving together. We'll be heading to Misty and Dan's. We're doing ham, mashed potatoes, corn, veggie tray, pies, whipped cream, stuffing, and drinks. Misty and Dan are doing turkey, gravy, cranberry salad, chutney, yams, rolls, and pies. Hope we have enough to eat!!

Another one bites the dust...........

One of my students at Riverview has the Swine Flu. There are so many out with it. The speech teacher with whom I share a supply room is back at work but has to have inhalation therapy every 4 hours still. She also got Bronchitis but said Tamiflu saved her.

I had shrimp for lunch yesterday around 1:30. I hadn't eaten anything since the night before, which isn't unusual, but I got really sick and spent the next few hours in the bathroom. I had my traveling league racquetball match last night so I was praying I would make it through. Luckily, I was able to play and made it home ok. I'm tired and shakey today but my stomach is ok. Course I haven't eaten yet, so who knows what will happen. I'm just grateful I was able to win the match in 2 games and didn't have to go to a tie breaker. Prayer works!

Time to Travel

Marin sent us her itinerary for Christmas and they'll be here from Dec 16- Jan 5! Mike and Marcie and Austin and Devan are going up to Seattle to spend Thanksgiving with them. Cassandra, Garn's niece, is coming up from BYU for Thanksgiving with Garn and I and Misty, Dan and fam. I just booked our flight to Texas for Spring Break in March and Mandy, Jon and fam will be out here in Feb for a fam wedding on Jon's side. Gotta love it!

Murray Park and other random things....

We went to Murray Park yesterday to take pics of Misty and fam for their Christmas card. The weather was beautiful and unseasonally warm. She had all the boys in suits and red ties. They looked soo good! Merrick told her that he had been waiting for a long time to get his suit. He loved it! I'd post picures but want to let Misty get her cards out first. After, we came back to our house for a bar b que. The only bad part was that McKy was sick. Austin and Devan came by on their bikes. Austin showed me how to text. Doubt I'll use it much but it might come in handy some time.

We went out to Misty's for Halloween. I went out with her to take Marcus and Merrick around and Dan stayed home to give out candy.

Dan starts his new job today and we're all grateful.

The weather's nice again today and it's supposed to be good all week! Yay! I don't mind putting off the cold for a long while!

The speech teacher with whom I share a room for my school supplies has Swine Flu. I just found out after touching her door and light switch and other common areas today. Oh boy....
