UNSEQUESTERED!

Lois, Roger and I have had our two vaccines, waited out the time and 

Up North we headed!

Couldn't wait to spend time with Lois, and, 

Big News!

Guess where she wanted to go for lunch!

Two days in a row!

After staying away a year, she was ready to go out to eat! She said, the next morning after our first lunch,
"I thought about it in bed last night and how good it tasted. Let's go again today!" That made Roger and I so happy! She's had her ups and downs this past year and we are thrilled that she's on a big up.

Lexie, Scott and Sharie's daughter, a cosmetologist, comes to her home to do her hair.

We stayed with Rick and Jodie, then drove to Lois's each morning and Sunday, their family drove out to see her. 

Blakey loves Grandma Great!

We love spending time with this amazing and beloved lady!

While Ryan's family was in town for their spring break, Mindy and Jeff invited their family, Rick's family and us over for dinner and to spend the evening. Most had not seen their newly-renovated home, which is so very lovely!

The guys (Sadie's Joe, Jake, Josh and Pete, among others) played bball in their sport court - Jeff LOVES the Jazz.

The kids are growing up - Sadie, Ben, Abby and Josh's fiancee, Jaylene.

A few days later, we headed further up the road to Boise to stay with Missy, Jedd and kids. How wonderful to be with them again and able to give them hugs and kisses! They always make us feel so welcome and loved!

Claire loves their stray cat that came to their home on a Halloween!

This little Claire is after our own hearts!

    The kids woke on St. Patrick's Day to green water in the toilets, tipped over furniture, green milk, 

treats and their favorite cereal, Lucky Charms!

We had a Luck O' the Irish dinner of corned beef, cabbage and carrots, green mashed potatoes, green jello, 

Missy's grape juice and mint and chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.

We headed back to Rick's for Jaylene's shower on Saturday. Kathy, Jodie's mom, took lots of pics that Jodie will send me as soon as she gets them and I will then insert them. It was such a lovely gathering of Jodie's sisters and sisters-in-law, Mindy, and Chyrrl and Susie brought Grandma Lois!

Jaylene is an absolute doll! We all love her! She is absolutely radiant when she talks and she makes our treasured Josh so happy, which makes us so very happy!

They made an engagement video together that gives you a peek into their happiness together.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Blakey!

 We were so excited to be un-sequestered and able to visit loved ones again! We're off to Mesa on Saturday!
