Cemetery Tours

We stopped by the cemetery on the way home from church today to add flowers to dad's grave. Mom and the grand kids had already stopped by on Saturday on their annual Memorial Day cemetery tour. They visited the different cemeteries where Grandma Carr, Grandpa Gramlow, Aunt Charlene and Grandma Whisler are each buried. Then they went to Aunt Carol's house (Grandma Whisler's sister) to visit. She served them some delicious oatmeal raisin cookies (and Mom is in charge of getting that recipe for Audrey evidently).

WV T-Shirt Quilt

John had worked for West Valley for about 10 years and had a number of t-shirts from various events. I packed them all up and shipped them to Kathy, who made this fabulous t-shirt quilt for Audrey's graduation from West Valley High School. Kathy cut the t-shirts into 6" squares and then backed the quilt with denim squares. Audrey was very excited when she opened the package that came in the mail today. Thanks Aunt Kathy!! (oh, and Sidney kitty thinks the quilt belongs to her...)

WICKED

Audrey and I purchased our tickets to Wicked over 1 year ago! And we were mighty excited to see it. We met Jessie, Emma and Sharon at the Olive Garden for dinner before the show. Then we headed downtown to see the show. "Wicked" is the story of the Wizard of Oz, but from the wicked witches point of view. We LOVED it!! I'm really glad that I had not read the book prior to going, so that the story could unfold for us. The music was great, the actors were great, our seats were great and we had a wonderful time with Jessie, Emma and Sharon. Let's go again!!!

2 Movies / 1 Time

We really wanted to go to the movies today so invited the Heerdinks' to come along. The only problem was that John and Audrey wanted to see one movie and I was not interested in that one. When Angela said Robert could not come and it would just be her - problem solved! John and Audrey went to Priest at 10:50am and Angela and I went to a chick-flick, Something Borrowed, at 10:55am. Yeah! After the movie we checked out Williams Sonoma before deciding we were hungry. We headed to Dick's Hamburgers for lunch. It was a great day to sit outside and share some fries with the seagulls!!

Mother's Day

What a great day! Had crepes for breakfast, nice service at church and then my favorite chicken salad croissants and pea salad for lunch. John and Audrey gave me a cookbook and a blade for my Kitchen Aid mixer. I sure am spoiled!!
