Meet Stella, the 2017 Kia Soul. We finally picked her up on Friday. She drives GREAT!
Sally visited the groomer on Friday and here are some before and after shots. I asked them to not leave a poodle topknot this time and to cut the ear hair short so she really looks different. I had no idea her ears were that tiny! First, Sally in her favorite spot - looking out the front window hoping to bark at something....
Lucy's 5th grade orchestra has a concert Wednesday night and I drove to Ballwin to attend.
Walking into the elementary school brought back SO many memories of Two Mile Prairie and Blue Ridge and all the other elementary schools I traveled to each week when I was teaching in the 5th grade strings program. The orchestra did great for their very first live concert. Their 3rd grade concert was usurped by Covid on 2020 and their 4th grade orchestra year was completely on-line. Given all the setbacks these kids had, I am delighted to see Lucy playing so well.
We worked in the temple baptistry again this Saturday and got to help the Bear Creek youth who came. It was great to see so many familiar faces and especially to see Steven who came with them. Elizabeth Crippen drove over to attend the 2:00 session and Steve and I met her afterwards and we went to dinner at a BBQ place on Olive. It is hard to mess up BBQ so the meal was yummy but honestly, for the price, we'd rather go around the corner to the Stellar Hog BBQ. Plus, their baked beans are hands down better!
Today is Mother's Day and I asked for a garden hoe. Steve will get a garden rake for Father's Day. I guess that is what happens when we get old, we start giving practical gifts. We already have one hoe and one rake but we need two so we can share the work load. And, if we are going to acquire more stuff, it ought to be practical! You can also see the lovely flowers I also got.
I close with a photo Emily took of Steve and me.
