This years costumes...
Something classical:
Costume items found at Antique Stores & Thrift Shops
Something orange:
TuTu tied by yours truly.
Something recycled:
Something I made years ago, and (miraculously) fit into today.
Not too long ago, a neighbor stopped by to show Evan something.
With the encouragement of my children, I started an inquiry .
He (our neighbor) was working on a research project and recently checked out a book from the library at BYU.
As he was reading through the book, he noticed something unusual.
That is what he came to show Evan.
It turns out, this book was a Christmas gift to Evan, from his father, over 30 years ago.
Somehow, it made it into a box of donated books given to the BYU library after Evan's father passed away 14 years ago.
Evan was intrigued by the book.
Our neighbor had to return it to the library.
Long story short... this is what came in the mail today.
After a quick photo... off she went to the school for the Fall Choir Concert.
They never disappoint!!
I even recognized someone I knew but did not expect to see…
(I didn't realize it until later, so the picture is not great!)
Happy Birthday to the love of my life…
I have spent the day in the kitchen.

“And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the
blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God.
For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual;
and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven,
that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness.
O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it”(Mosiah 2:41)
Yesterday, Chester looked like this.
In fact, I think we both did.
I know I felt like this.
I was pretty much a zombie due to the lack of sleep.
We were both up all night.
I watched TV and edited photos while Chester paced.
(among other things that are consequential to toxic poisoning)
By morning, his heart rate was still rapid, and he was still restless.
Close observation was necessary.
Evan stayed home from work in the morning.
I took the afternoon shift.
By late afternoon, he was showing improvement.
We both got a good nights sleep and Chester is doing much better today.
