JUST RANDOM THOUGHTS

Thought 1: Ok, so here is the deal. Last Saturday, the 15th we went to a two ward picnic called the "Spring Fling" north of us in Riggins, Idaho at the Fish Hatchery. AND.....I forgot my camera! Hey, I did take my food and my mom and that was good. :-) Anyway, it was our 40th Wedding Anniversary. I know, I know, we are getting a little old. As I remember, though, we were only 12 years old when we got married. (Just a little humor) But we had a wonderful day with the family. Diane and Dave, Amy and family and Dana and family and the rest of the ward family. Actually two wards. (Amy has a few pictures on her blog. amyjoe14@blogspot.com) Afterwards Clyde and I went out to dinner and for a drive that evening. It was great. BUT......I have to tell on Clyde. We exchanged cards and read them out loud to each other. So tender.....until I got to the end of the card he gave me and it said, "To a great couple on their anniversary!" I re-read it and blinked a few times before we both burst into laughter. He said, "I guess I didn't get to the end of the card when I was picking it out." DAH!!!!! We won't forget that. :-)

Thought 2: We have a Robin Red Breast outside our house that we think is trying to commit suicide. Seriously! For three weeks now he will sit on the railing outside then fly into the window, back to the railing, fly into the window, back to the railing (shake it off), fly into the window. On and On and On each day. Surely, if he is trying to get to the other side of the house he would figure out that he COULD fly around the house. Oh well. We will keep tabs and get out the pellet gun one of these days.

Thought 3: We have a beautiful (I thought for a minute or two) Woodpecker, also. STUPID birds! We might have to use something other than a pellet gun to scare this bird off. Hmmm.

Thought 4: My mom is getting worse. Well, she's 90 years old, so I guess she should be. She is starting to get a little fiesty. What? No! I asked her who I was the other day and she shot back with "don't confuse me" Oops. She does still make us laugh.

Thought 5: I miss all my family and friends that don't live here and I'm hoping that some of you will take a trip to Idaho someday.

Well, that's all folks. And next time I will remember my camera. LOVE TO YOU ALL!

Spring Fling Picnic continued

I always post things backwards. I am such a booger, I mean blogger. HA HA! Anyway this is the final post instead of the first so you will just have to go back and check it out. :)

One of the funniest things of the day was when it was time to clean up the toys and things we couldn't find any! What? Where were all the toys? We finally found them piled in the front closet along with many other things. Blake, Spencer, Cody and Brett decided to make their own game of "steal stuff" and little by little "stole stuff" and put it in the closet. The funny thing was, no one saw them. It was so funny! We all laughed pretty hard. But what a great family day. Loved it!!!

SPRING FLING PICNIC......in the living room :)

Every year our two wards have a "Spring Fling" in Riggins (north of us) to celebrate green grass and warm weather. WELL......this year the day of the picnic was canceled due to SNOW! Dana, Amy and I had our food prepared ahead of time so we decided as a family to have a "picnic" in our living room. We moved all the furniture, built a fire to roast hot dogs and the fun began. We played games, took naps, played guitar, and of course ate and ate. It was really fun. The kids had a ball. It was a bit (ha ha) noisy but so worth it.
