Here's what we did for 29

Well, the day started out by Don hiking the wind cave trail. no thank you not for me. We then went to the "egg and I" for breakfast. Don told me that #29 is the new furniture year, so we went yard sailing looking for old outdoor furniture which will be new for us. We even went to Goodwill 1/2 price Saturday. lots of people were there but no outdoor stuff. At 11am the TFC bank was having customer appreciation day. so we went there for a free lunch of Hamburger's, slaw, and cake and Pepsi. YUM! Then off to the movie's. We saw "KILLERS" with what's his name and whats her face in it. It was a cute movie, but I don't like the way they have to add dialog that does not need to be in it. But it was a funny show. It entertained us. After the show, off shopping still looking for the furniture. We found some at "Big Lots" Yea! It looks real nice on the back porch.
Don also planed for us to go to the "Broadway Palms" dinner theater. We saw the Show, "I Love a Piano" it was allot of dancing and singing to and by songs from Irving Berlin 51 songs to be exact. to tell you the truth I had a little headache after all the singing and dancing.
Any who (as Taylor would say) the day was wonderful spending time with Don. Next year I get to plan it. #30, I don't know if I can do as good of job as Don does. It could be that we go back to IKEA

29 years

Today is our 29th wedding anniversary! Don has a wonderful day planned.
more later.

My Big Brother's Birthday

The fella next to me in the BIG glasses is my big brother Dennis. Today is his birthday. He would have been 52 years old. He died April 8th 1993. he was 34 years old. When my children were little and easily amused we would drive to Utah and visit my mother for part of the summer. One summer we were there for a whole month. This gave us the opportunity to visit with Dennis and his family. Funny story, after we had been home for a bit after visiting with Dennis, it was time for Mal and Kim to visit the Dentist, usually they did not like this but this time when I told them that we were going to the Dentist they were all excited. Their hearts were broken when they found out it WAS the dentist and not Dennis. they got the two names confused. Any way, when we visited we would take our kids to the Hogal Zoo in SLC and visit the dinosaur park up Ogden Canyon. The girls would play and Dennis and I would visit. He was a stay at home Dad which was a good thing because he spent allot of time with his daughters. He was their girl scout leader, and PTA officer at their school. and knew how to do their hair just the way they liked it.

During the summer he would work as a landscaper and mow many a yard. He was the only sibling who lived in Utah, he thought AZ was too hot. When I got married he came down to AZ for the wedding but promptly drove back up to Utah. He couldn't take the heat. My other two brothers live here in mesa. It has been nice to have them around. We miss him but know we will be with him again. Happy Birthday Dennis!
