Blogger: Sandi's Journey - Manage Posts: "Monday, October 27, 2008 I spent time today making a 'montage' of our trip to Alaska. In May of this year Claude and I had our dream Alaska vacation with a cruise north from Vancouver, British Columbia to Whittier, Alaska. Then we road the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Fairbanks. I had an eMail from Andie with a link to a site on which her friend had a wonderful slide show of the kids in their Mom's Club thru the summer. I decided to open me an account and give it a try. Well, I got the 'montage'-slide show all done and was going to attach it to this posting. I can't quite figure how to do it. Sooo...I'll send that slide show out via eMail and you'll just have to look at it from there."

Today I visited Winchester Ward with Laura Carter. I just visiting these wards and seeing how they are doing. And I really enjoy the opportunity to travel and visit with my presidency. After the visits I went to see Mimi for a few minutes. Her eyes looked a lot better and she was very talkative. Then I headed to Papa's to get some papers signed. Then it was out to Sadieville to my honey's welcoming arms. He's making soups again. Last winter Claude tried his hand and different kinds of soups. We both totally enjoyed his cuisine and are looking forward to another winter of soups. He must get this from Bonnie!

Okay...I put Thursday, October 24th on my last post. Should have been Thursday, October 23rd. I'll get this sooner or later. Friday the Marx's visited until after naptime. Then they headed back to LaGrange. Friday evening I went to the meetinghouse for a Relief Society enrichment activity. I painted block cut-out Christmas decorations. It was great fun. I was supposed to make ModPodge plates but I took my plates and ModPodge and forgot to take the fabric to adhere to the plates. So I'll complete that project at home.

We started our day with Grampa fixing french toast and bacon for breakfast. Yum... We enjoyed a morning of play, cutting Andie's hair to donate for cancer patient wigs, cutting Bailey's bangs and attempting to cut Hayden's hair. This was the worst haircut I ever gave the little lad and he is going to have school pictures to prove it!! Yike!! The afternoon was spent heading to the nursing home where we donned Halloween costumes and went in to see Mimi & Papa. Everyone loves it when kids come into the nursing home and these kids were sooo cute. Andie has pictures on her camera to prove it. Bailey marched herself around the table where Papa was sitting and put her arms up to be picked up. This delights him no end. He sat her on the table in front of him and she reached out to Mimi, who was sitting beside, him and patted Mimi on the shoulder. The she looked at her and said, "Mimi!" This produces a grin from Mimi each time Bailey continues to do that. Hayden meanwhile is opening the little packages of goldfish cookies they brought to share with her. He would pop them in her mouth and then in Papa's mouth. Mimi really enjoyed that flavor and sharing with the mini-Marx's. Then we got burgers from Whopper Burger and took them to Papa's house to have lunch and play with Tiny for a bit. We went home very tired and managed to get all kids and adults down for naps. That my friends is an accomplishment!
