Right: Sharon, Linda, Judy, and Tammy.
The waiter took this one with the
guy who wanted to be a
photo bomber.
They have the second-best pina coladas
I've ever had. The best one was in
Cancun...I think at Tony Roma's.
...non-alcoholic, of course.
Linda's combination plate was
very colorful...and yummy, she said.
It was nice to sit by friends
from our Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward,
Jennie and Monica, in addition to Linda.

Steve with Walt when he dropped in.
Gary spent the evening with
Walt and me. We were going to go
to McKell's play, but Walt wasn't up
to going. He will not be able to go to
any more activities away from
home now. It is too hard on him
both mentally and physically.
Gary had seen McKell's play at the
Orem Hale Center Theater earlier...
"The Man With the Pointed Toes."
She got very excellent reviews from
the critics. She is loving putting her
UVU theater major to work and
getting paid for it now!
She was the tutor for the
uneducated cowboy.

Family is Everything...
Karen came to check on
Walt this afternoon.
His blood pressure and heart are good,
but he is really weak and has slept
a lot today.
Family Home Evening was
cancelled tonight because it
snowed all day and was still snowing
this evening.

Family is Everything...
I had our Ladies' Lunch today.
Barbara Lindeman picked me
up, along with Judy and Linda.
We went to La Fountain, a
great Mexican Restaurant by
Lowes and Costco and Denny's
in Lehi.
The gals who were able to come today
are: Left: Tammy, Judy, Linda, Sharon.
Right: Kaye, Vickie, Barbara, and Eileen.

Cancun...I think at Tony Roma's.

The enchiladas with rice and beans
were delicious. I took half of this
home for Walt's lunch.
very colorful...and yummy, she said.
We always enjoy being together.

When I ordered, I asked the waiter to please
bring me a box because I was going to
share half with my husband.
So when my order came, he said he
had them put on two enchiladas
instead of the one.
How thoughtful of him.
Walt agreed, they have delicious Mexican
food at "La Fountain" in Lehi.
Movie Night with Gary
The Man Who Knew Too Much is a 1956 American suspense thriller film directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, starring James Stewart and Doris Day. The film is Hitchcock's second film using this title following his own 1934 film of the same name featuring a significantly different plot and script.
In the book-length interview Hitchcock/Truffaut (1967), in response to fellow filmmaker François Truffaut's assertion that aspects of the remake were by far superior, Hitchcock replied "Let's say the first version is the work of a talented amateur and the second was made by a professional."[3][4]
The film won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)", sung by Doris Day. It premiered at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival on April 29.[5]
Gary, we love our Wednesday
movie nights with you!
Next week, Feb. 12, we are going to watch "Love Story" for our
"romance" theme for this month. It is the 50th anniversary since
this movie came out in 1970.

Family is Everything...
I had my four-month dental
cleaning today.
The normal time is every 6 months,
but because I have periodontal gum
disease, I have to do it more often.
There is no cure, but it can be
stopped from progressing
further by cleaning 3x a year
instead of just 2x.
Steve drove me to the dentist
today. Thank you!
Karen came to check on
Walt this afternoon.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020
Family is Everything...
We didn't realize when Gary drove us to see Dale
at the Utah Valley Hospital on
Thursday, Jan. 23--after his hip surgery of Jan. 19
because of a fall on Sat., Jan 18,
that this would be the
last time we'd get to go
see him before he was discharged
today, Friday, February 7th.
We're thankful that he gets to go
home, but sad we weren't able
to go see him again.
And we're thankful that Connie's
grandson, Matthew--Lisa's son,
was able to help drive them from
Orem, Utah to Twin Falls, Idaho.
Great family support!
We pray for Dale's continued great
physical therapy there in Twin so he
can heal completely soon.
Marci came to help
Walt start his day.
Her regular days are Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday, but
her car stopped working
yesterday so she couldn't
come until today.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2020
Family is Everything... and so are friends
We had some wonderful
friends visit today.
Ross and Karen Taylor,
and their daughter Leslie.
We always love being with them.
UVU Dancesport Championships
are this weekend in Orem.
We weren't able to go, so we
are sharing Julie's photos.
Maddie and Ethan took medals
in the Foxtrot division.
There were excited to make the finals
with so many dancing.
Maddie's BYU Youth Pre-teen Ballroom
Team took 1st in Ballroom in their
age group, and 2nd in the Latin
competition.
Way to go, Maddie and team!
First in Ballroom out of many youth
teams in this age division.
Julie coached this team last year and
is very proud of them and their
coach, Hannah, this year.
Second in Latin out of many teams...
Maddie has great support
from her Mom and Dad,
Julie and John.

The speakers were:
Kerry Hardy "We Choose"
Kim Beecher "Stand Still"

Brad Wilcox: "The Savior's Atonement"
which included a profound definition
of "Grace."
Brother Wilcox is such a great speaker.
I've heard him at BYU Education Week
before. Our Stake Relief Society President
was in high school with Brad Wilcox,
so she was able to have him come to
this stake Women's Conference.

Family is Everything...
We didn't go to Church today.
We read 2 Nephi 6-10 for the
Come, Follow Me week of
February 10-16.
"O How Great the Plan
of Our God."
Then we had a delicious
Sunday dinner of
steak and baked potatoes.
Thanks, John.
First time since we've been here
that we haven't gotten a photo of
us together on Sunday.
How about our wedding photo...
