Scout's New Obsession

As you all know, Scout is pretty stuck on Wicked, so last week she took Baby Doll, Curly, his girlfriend, Dog Walker, and I to the new theater in Daybreak West.  We all loved the show, of course, but on the way out, we had to pass a huge arcade. Curly and his girl snuck past it, but we just couldn't resist, especially Scout.

They had a "push" machine that dropped Wizard of Oz cards and if you could get all 10, you got a huge bonus. I don't know how much Scout spent, but she got the set and enough points to buy a little air hockey table and a bunch of other things. In fair, she is REALLY good at this machine. She knows just where to shoot coins to get everything to fall. 

Dog Walker found his previous obsession in the DDR game. He played 3 games. The first one was a disaster, but then I reminded him that it had been nearly a decade since he stood on a DDR pad, so he chose a different song and played it on easy. He got a perfect score. Then he changed it to normal and got an A+. 

I guess it's like riding a bike. Your muscle memory is an amazing thing.

Thanksgiving 2025

I think holidays are going to be pretty rough for us this year. Everything is different without my sweetie. I miss him so much!

But I don't want to dwell on things that can't be changed. 

We had lots of fun playing games, making crafts, and cooking...and eating, of course. I am so grateful for all of these things and the 42 fantastic Thanksgivings that came before.

We hope you also had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your friends and family.

Scout's Birthday Weekend, Part 3

We got up at our normal 9:15 and hurried to get breakfast, then we packed up quickly. Checkout time was 11:00 and Scout wanted to get one more swim in before we left the hotel. Since we were in a Hilton, I knew we could ask for a little more time, so I did. They were happy to give us until 11:30 and that gave us a whole hour to swim, I mean sit in the hot tub.

The drive home was uneventful. Scout was in the driver's seat and we dropped off Crafty in Bountiful first. We didn't even have to stop for gas! After we got home, Scout slipped off with K and I spent the rest of the day cleaning up and trying to get things put away. There is just never enough hours in any given day. 

Happy birthday, Scout!!💕
