The Fun, The Unfortunate, and The Lost

Our schedule the last few days has been kind of off, but at the same time kind of nice in that Tim and I have had a lot of husband/wife time.  Given his schedule lately, unless it's a weekend we're not always able to do much together.  But he has been home the last few days and we have had a lot fun  enjoying general conference, sleeping in, breakfast for lunch at Cracker Barrel, and a little bit of friendly card game competition.  A minor SkipBo win goes to Tim... however a huge Phase 10 victory goes to me and should probably actually go down in the record books.  The cards were certainly on my side.

Unfortunately the reason for the out-of-the-normal casual Friday off was a sick car needing to spend some time in the shop... boo.  Something about a new hose, spark plugs, and a thing or two about the brakes?  We were there for a good two or three hours Friday afternoon.

And today we mourn the loss of our good friend Courtney the Crock Pot.  In an untimely Sunday dinner accident, she was tragically and unexpectedly taken from us.  She was a gift from my mother when I graduated from high school and has seen me through two universities and two years of marriage.  She graced the cupboards of 6 apartments, aided in the production of countless tasty meals, and bravely journeyed across the country with us. 

 

Now she is in a better place and we bid farewell to this faithful friend.  Though her cooking career may have been cut short, her legacy of love and culinary masterpieces will live on in our hearts forever.
