Terrific Tuesday


Last night we had a wiener roast, probably the last of the year, for family night. After we roasted coconut marshmallows for s’mores, Grace taught us a lesson on the angel Moroni. It was a perfect evening.


I put the witch on the windowsill. Ande made her a long time ago and she still makes me smile.



We didn’t even need forks for supper tonight . . . just degreaser. Nothing quite like homemade fries and finger steaks in the fall, unless it’s homemade fries, finger steaks, and corn on the cob.

And…….

I pulled my iPod from the tub of rice and pushed the button. Nothing. One hour and seventeen minutes in the washer, and seventy-two hours resting in rice was just too much for it . . . until it was recharged. Then it started up again! I have no idea how well it works yet (the ear phones didn’t fare so well), but there is hope.

Yeah that your ipod has survived!!

Is it funny that my first thought after seeing the adorable witch on your windowsill was "Wow, Jane's windowsills are MUCH cleaner than mine!"? :)

Sounds like a great dinner and FHE.

The last weiner roast because it will be too cold? Wow, we are glad it has cooled off enough in the evenings that we might light ours this weekend for the first time! Carly is excited about smores. I want to try hotdogs wrapped in pizza dough. Read about that somewhere over the summer when there was NO chance of sitting around a campfire!

What a yummy dinner. I have heard that rice thing before, but I wasn't as lucky. I hope it continues to work!

Dinner looks de-lish!

I am so glad your ipod started up again. I thought ours had died a while ago...and I too realized it just needed to re-charge on the correct computer! Silly me!

Way to keep the ipod story suspenseful!

You have such a fun household:)

Oh my gosh! I can't believe the rice worked!!! I kind of suggested it as a joke... because it didn't work when I accidentally dropped our mission cell phone in orange juice. :-)

Hooray on all accounts!

p.s. I read this week that the Provo temple didn't have an angel Moroni until 2003, I never noticed!
