Mike didn't really get a proper birthday celebration. He turned 74 on October 3. SEVENTY FOUR???!!! Yikes. We are getting on up there in age.
We spent Saturday the 3rd watching general conference at home. It was a nice treat that Braeden came down from Provo and BYU. His parents are here because
1) Damian ran the St..George Marathon Saturday, and
2) Tandy came to support and watch him with Braeden. A first for both of them. I think that was Damian 3rd time to run in St. George.
Tandy was a sweetheart and made the most delicious cinnamon rolls for our Conference Sunday, and even brought berries. Mmm. So yummy.
October 4th Mike made delicious steaks for our Sunday after General Conference Dinner/ his belated birthday dinner with family. Unfortunately, my Mom has shingles and didn't feel well enough to join us that evening. Poor Mommy. But it was fun to have B and his parents and grandparents all together. Caroline came, too, as she was on her way home to St. George after meeting her folks in Joseph. We had creamy Raspberry delight for dessert, too!
Tandy and Damian gave Mike a Red Lobster gift card for a birthday gift so Mike and I used that when we went to St George on Thursday October 8 to attend the temple. Cedar City's temple is closed for cleaning for two weeks. We went to Red Cliffs. It is so big! It was nice. We did initiatory, an endowment session, and a sealing session. Mike was actually able to kneel at the altar on his new knees and, after a quiet prayer, he was able to do so without difficulty -- a first. He usually needs to sit on a chair next to the altar. New knees work for lots of things, but not usually kneeling ON them.
We ate at Red Lobster after the temple, met Caroline at her GNC workplace to pick up Costco toilet paper she'd picked up for us, and then headed home. Straight into a NAP for me!!!
Zzzzz. It was a fun day, though.
