Pig out at the Asian Buffet

Saturday night was Ray Wimmer's birthday. We all went out to dinner to celebrate. My twelve year old grandson Parker had a great time. Here are the rounds of food he ate:
1. plate of fries, chicken nuggets, pizza
2. plate of assorted Chinese food
3. bowl of chocolate ice cream
4. plate of won tons
5. plate of crab legs with drawn butter
6. plate of more won tons with sweet and sour sauce, covered.
7. full plate of assorted jello's
8. two more slices of pizza

I could hardly believe what I saw. He turns twelve this Thursday........ what a kid.

Chief Stanley Brown

Today was the funeral for the former Provo City Fire Chief Stanely Brown. He was such a great part of my life. I have known his family since I was a teenager. His daughter Kate was one of my best friends. We were in the same LDS ward, and her mother Lois was our Mutual teacher. I spend a lot of time at their home hanging out, listening to records and calling boys. There was always a party at the Brown's home. It was the gathering place for Kate's friends, and also for her brother Ed.

Sadly, Kate was killed in a car accident in Provo Canyon in 1971. She was a passenger in a car driven by her boyfriend Pat. Life was never the same without her. Her parents took her death hard, and she was always in their hearts. I think of her often and I still miss her after all these years. When I hear a certain song from the 60's, it reminds me of our great times together. The "Chief" is with her now, along with his son Sam. Farewell for a while, but we will see you again................

Farewell to a "Chief"

Vintage Christmas

I just love old things. These are some of the old ornaments that I put on my tree this year. These are from my Grandparents, Jack and Lyla Daley's collection from the 1950's. It reminds me of my childhood. It is always sad when the tree has to come down.....

Temple Square and the lights

I have a darling friend who I work with that has never been to Temple Square at Christmas time. Her name is Maritza. I have not known her very long, but I have really grown to love her dearly. Joel and I picked her up and took her to see the lights. Notice how short she is compared to us!!!!!!

Christmas Day

We had our annual Christmas day dinner at Jenny and Eric's home. We had a traditional dinner and then exchange our gifts . The grand kids were so cute, and they were so excited! Eric's dad Ray and his wife Pat were there too, along with their cat "Cry Baby". We brought our dog Jake along for the Christmas excitement, and he had fun teasing the cat and the Wimmer beagle Max. It was the best Christmas ever! We all were so blessed!

Christmas 2009

December came and went and I was asking myself why it went so fast. In a flash it was over! We had the Murphy Christmas party, thanks to the kindness of Natalie. She planned it, notified everyone and had it at her clubhouse where she lives. It was great to be together for the holidays, and Santa made a surprise visit as well. It was the first Christmas party without the family party planner: Gayle Cornaby, who died in February. We had some tender moments in her memory, and Phil and Mariam gave her family some snow globes with her pictures in it. The pot luck food was wonderful too.
