Sister's Weekend




It was a great weekend for all!!!!

Thursday - Our opportunity was to get our teeth worked on. What could be more fun. We went to a great dentist, what fine work. - That evening we started to work on child sized quilts that are going to be given a local hospital. -- To keep our energy up we took time away from quilting and jumped on the drums, guitar and microphone to perform Beatles Rock Band. We are one hard rock sisters - We could have been the girl version of the Osmonds (Jackson Five) or more similar to Led Zepplin. We also had hot chocolate chip cookies.

Friday - We got up early to start our day. To get in focus we had a yoga instructor come to teach us. We connected with out inner self. It was then off to the Denver Museum - King Tut display. We learned many interesting facts. - We headed to down town Denver to have dinner at Maggianos. We brought home about 3 meals of leftovers (that could serve 4 people). - In the evening it was off to a Dracula, the play. There was also a song and dance review also. The most impressing part was the jazz piano player, unbelievable.

Saturday - We got up early and went to the fabric store. We got back home and worked on quilts and pillow cases. Everyone got some of their pillowcases done, have you finished then yet?

As you can see we had physical care (dental), exercise (yoga), service (quilts hospital), cultural (art museum), performing arts (Dracula), cravings (CC cookies), personals interests (sewing), and enjoying the company of those that you love.

It was fun for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wedding Festivities


This was a busy weekend for many members of the family. It was good to see everyone who was able to come out for Isaac and Francie's wedding. The dinner on Thursday night was good and entertaining (like Justin's toast based on the words of Samwise Gamgee). There was a lot of speculation about the weather. But Isaac and Francie are bound to have a lot of good luck because it rained on and off all day. Coming out of the temple the sky was gray but there was about 30 minutes before the rain started so many of the pictures (at least with family and friends) were done before it started to rain.


Without a reception to prepare we got to enjoy lunch at Costa Vida, a tour of Kelsey and Garth's new house (looks good), and some shopping at the mall. Then it was off to the outdoor reception, with the rain still coming down. Everything was decorated beautifully and we all had fun socializing with umbrellas held overhead. It was a relief when the rain let up for about 45 minutes for the cake cutting, some dancing, and the bouquet/garter tosses. Just as it started raining again it was time for the happy couple to be off.

Congratulations you guys!
