Veteran's Day Max-Out and (Sniff) Farewell for Awhile, Hintons

Holy Mackerel, I am behind on my posting -
It's Catch Up Time!
I just had to report on our little Veterans Day food adventure.
Many restaurants graciously offer Vets a free meal on their day that honors their service to our country. 
Roger served for 5 1/2 years as an Instructor Pilot in the Air Force during the War in Vietnam, 
and, being the bargain-hunting foodies that we are, we decided to enjoy free food all day.
We had breakfast at Denny's (and were very impressed with their bend-over-backwards kind service 
and delicious breakfast, though they were swamped), 
lunch at Texas Roadhouse . . . 


. . . and dinner at Applebees, with a free Munchie yogurt for dessert.
So fun! (burp!)

There was this pic in Roger's iPhone of this map on the blackboard at our New Testament class, taught by Dean Marriott, which we enjoyed attending this fall.
We also love Wayne Brickey's Institute class on Wednesday nights.


Happy for them, sad for us - 
Kay and Ken left for their mission in Japan in December,
and we met them at Olive Garden for dinner and good wishes.
We were not able to attend their "farewell" at the end of November,
because we were in Hawaii with Roger's mom and family,
so I am glad we got to say goodbye. 
We love these guys, and cannot imagine better missionaries to spread the message of "Good News."


Okay, on to our trip to Ko Olina, Syd's wedding, Holiday Fun at Christmastime, New Year's . . .

  1. I love your free foodie adventure - how fun! We did miss you at the farewell but we knew that you were enjoying Hawaii so we didn't feel too sorry for you! Thanks again for letting us stay at your house! I am glad that you got to have a farewell dinner with Kay and Ken!

  3. Way to go on maximizing the Veteran's benefits! I am always proud to tell people that my dad was a pilot in the Air Force. What great memories of early family life! I would love to visit Mississippi and TExas with you some day to see your old stomping grounds.

  4. That is so awesome you were able to get free meals all day on Veteran's Day! I think it is so neat those restaurants offer that and way to go you two for finding out the scoop and enjoying it! I'm glad you were able to spend a nice dinner with Kay and Ken before they left for their mission! They will be wonderful missionaries!
