A few pictures from the end of our time at Britt's, like so many, Britt had a bad reaction to her covid shot on Sunday, so that she had to take it easy on Monday, and we were on our own.
Here you see Dad with Alex installing the American Girls Doll Bike carrier for Charlie.
She was thrilled. We spent most of the day junking and checking out the Whole Foods store.
I picked a couple of pictures off of Insta Gram of the Summers trip to Bonham, Texas to see the Talleys, cousin time is always the best.
So fun for all.
In Idaho I got to pet a scotty dog, a lot. I've always loved Scotties, but a pure breed dog was never in the cards for us. Now I get to pet Missie, but don't have to deal with having a dog. Yeah, the best of both worlds.
Britt was pretty disgusted with feeling like crap while having company, after all she is a second generation cruise director personality.
Dad and I got to go and watch Charlie at her dance class though, through a one way mirror, which was kind of cool.
The receptionist at the dance school presented her with the trophy she had won the previous weekend.
Britt was feeling much better by Tuesday and took us out to a subdivision where some of her clients are building a house. For some reason she thought I would be impressed, and she was right.
Who wouldn't want to live on the corner of Darcy and Pemberley.
Then we headed to Best Buy where the manager helped us get a deal on dash board mounts for our cell phones, which are long over due. Here we see Charlie walking hand in hand with the manager, her Papa.
Then it was off to lunch at an all vegan restaurant, and art gallery. I loved this artist because she evidently likes freckled subjects for her portraits.
Yum, vegan bruschetta. After lunch we headed home, listening to a Dan Brown book, and working on bagging jewelry for the antique mall, which made the time fly by.
It was fun to be back to my emerging English cottage bedroom, and since I took a picture last Sunday at Britt's while doing the blog and watching, You've Got Mail. This is the Meg Ryan character on her couch, I captured that it is the same pattern by Laura Ashley that I had just wall papered our bedroom in.Yes, small things do entertain me.
On Wednesday Dad finished to outlets in the living room and put up insulation.
The south wall is also insulated
Here are the last two outlets for the living room/ kitchen.
The heating contractor said we needed to frame in the mechanical room so here is Thursday's project.
This was the last of Thursday's work; the framing to the right of the door into the apartment. Dad got a lot done at Darby's on Wednesday and Thursday, while I worked at the antique mall.
On Friday we worked together on the house. Here Dad is measuring for the hanging of a clock that has been sitting on the shelf since we bought it 5 years ago.
I also moved my collection of blue and green pottery from this shelf into the display cupboard on the opposite wall, to make room for more original, or limited edition art. I still need a couple more pieces of pottery to finish up the display in the cupboard so I will show you that later.
That night we met up with the Crumps for Mexican food. They are actually serving a service mission from home, since they put their papers in a week before the covid closures. They hope to serve another mission later.
On Saturday we spent the day working on the yard. I am having an out door Mad Hatter's tea with my craft group on Tuesday. I thought these glass plate 'flowers' would be perfect for Wonderland. Dad cleared out three of our four grow boxes, and I cleared the leaves and weeds out of the daffodil boarder on the side of the garage. I'll share more pics next week.
At 5 that afternoon we headed to Provo to see this beauty, shown on the arm of her Dad, as she married Ben Heuer. It was held at the White Willow in Provo, and every detail was perfect.
Here we see Kylie Moe as she takes a picture of the cake.
Christopher Heuer's daughter, Lily is show to the right, she was one of three bridesmaids, and looked lovely.
We sat down to dinner with the Moes, Quiggs, Kylie and a couple of Barb's grandkids.
Dad looked dapper in his polka dot bow tie that matches my dress.
Here we are with the bride and groom.
It was a lovely evening.
Dad found this on line this morning. A Finnish girl was the 2nd pick in the WNBA draft and will be Emily's neighbor playing in Dallas. How cool is that? Its good that all young Finns have great English skills and of course being 6 feet 5 inches doesn't hurt either.
Then this afternoon we drove over to the Jamsa's house in Salem for a Finnish Missionary get together. I am shown talking to Joseph Sellers who we served with on our first mission. He is attending Utah State, and is from Ohio. To his right is Porter Aitken and Amy Gilliat.
Here are Tyler Davis, Nathan Chugg, Chase Halverson and Darien Reed
Nicole Perterson, Porter Aitken, and Emma Wolfenstein
Karli Moss, Chase Kimball, and Nathan Kester
Dessi Anderson, Olivia Pluim, and Zoe Forest
Denise Jamsa, Stephen Shurtz and Jane Shurtz
Here we see the Jamsas, our hosts who served with us until covid sent home most Senior Couples, behind me are the Shurtz, who live on Grandview Hill in Provo. We replaced them in the mission.
Here are Ashleigh Bicknell and Pete VawdryVawdry
Hanging out with family and friends made this an amazing week. We hope yours was joyful as well.
