January 2015

Ok so the projects for the year are:

1. Gate for Utah house
2.  Refurbish deck at Utah house
3.  Couch for Utah house
4.  New towel rods for bathroom Utah house

I have also given up eating at McDonalds.  I am currently 3 months McDonalds clean.  That's a lot.  We were eating breakfast there almost every morning during tax season so hopefully I am helping my digestive system and wallet at the same time. 

Parties, birthdays and wednesday dinners.

I sure do miss having family dinners at our house.  I miss the fun of the meal, sitting around and eating a slow dinner with Dave and Jenn on Wednesday nights.  I miss the holiday dinners and backyard BBQ's.  I will admit Robert and I are no chefs but it was never really about the food it was about the time gathered together, sitting, talking, laughing and planning our next holiday or vacation or whatever else we had coming up.  I love going back through our photos and remembering the nights we sat just talking and eating away. 

These days we don't do much of that.  With us living in Utah and Hawaii there just isn't the time nor the family close enough to have those wonderful nights on the patio.  I do think that next summer I am going to try and start of a weekly dinner with Lisa and Spencer in Utah.  That's kinda exciting because I will have a new project of getting our backyard cleaned up and buying a new patio table set.  Here are a few reminders of the family dinners or outcome of the dinner.
