Something About Nothing

While in DC we visited with our friends who are serving a mission at the Washington DC LDS Temple.  We went to dinner at a wonderful seafood restaurant and afterward took a walk down to see the Potomac. (ugh! I do not like this photo but it's all I have to prove we were there)  The next evening the Smith's took us by DC Temple where they serve.  It was a little rainy so we didn't get out of the car.  The rain had brought out all the blossoms on the azaleas.  Everything was beautiful! And dinner at the Smith's apartment was delicious!

We had a wonderful day at the temple yesterday.  I loved seeing so many friends there sharing a day dedicated to the Lord. Today we are back to reality. The two youngest are now out of school and want to spend all their time reading or on the computer. The oldest is still working at the Capitol and hoping to find a job in Arizonia via the internet so he can move before he starts his 5 year stint of law school/phd program. And the forgotten middle child has not one but TWO fabulous internships in wonderful San Francisco.  She leaves in three days and still needs to move out of her apartment and bring all of her things home. Add to this that I need to repair a sweater for my sister so that my daughter can deliver the sweater to my sister when she goes to SF, we have not one but two wedding receptions Friday and an 80th birthday party on Saturday.  Not to mention that I have projects to finish for Whimsy Cottage before the Wasatch Front...

Today we are spending the day at the Salt Lake Temple with our ward family.

At the beginning of summer I posted about my goals for summer, and now summer is almost over and man what a summer it has been. Amazingly we've almost done everything on my list. I've blogged about a lot of those adventures along the way, but here are a few fun activities I missed blogging about. We toured the Oquirrh Mountain Temple - Visited with friends we knew while we lived in Jamaica - Took my Mother-In-Law to Fisherman's Wharf - This video clip of visiting the Sea Lions at Fisherman's Wharf makes me laugh. Met my Sistah's new doggie, Wes - And had some fun with Wrigley, Elliot, Wes and Dexter (not pictured) Went to the Farmers Market on a chilly San Francisco Day - Played in the ocean - Ate some funnel cake (excuse me while I wipe the drool off my computer) - And rode some fun rides. This picture is my absolute favorite of the summer: Bright colors, blue skies and happy children.
