Mickey and Minnie



I worked on a Mickey and Minnie Collage for my mom.  I found a picture on google images and blew it up.   I outlined the faces and hands with marker.  I left off the buttons on Mickey's pants and the polka dots on Minnie's skirt.

Hyrum State Park


On Tuesday the 27th , we took the RV up to Hyrum Lake State Park in Cache County, Utah.   We were in spot 31.  We ate dinner at the Bluebird Cafe in Logan.  I had the monterrey chicken and mashed potatoes.  It was an excellent meal.  We tried to watch the movie, Scary Movie 5, but it was too stupid.  





On Wednesday,  We went and walked around the Cache Valley Mall.  A lot of the stores were extinct.  We went and got a raspberry shake at A & W.  Dad made dutch oven potatoes and blueberry cobbler for dinner.  I read the book, What Happened to Goodbye? by Sarah Dessen.  





On Thursday,  Dad caught a fish, so Mom ate that for dinner!  We went to lunch at the Olive Garden.  As the waitress was taking the breadstick basket, one fell out and landed in Mom's water glass.  Pretty funny!  We went and got another raspberry shake at A & W.  I went into Walmart and looked around.  I read the book, We Need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver.  





Today, we came home.  Mom had to go have her MRI.  She has a spot that is bigger on her right temple.

Wright.









Mom had a birthday on Wednesday the 7th.  She turned 57.  I made her a card and got her a gift card to Old Navy.  We drove through Laketown and saw the cemetery, where the pioneers are buried.  We ate dinner at the Bear Trapper.  I had a roll with butter and raspberry jam, raspberry sorbet, chicken fingers, and fries.  After dinner, we walked on the boardwalk to the beach in Garden City Park.  The boardwalk is surrounded by willows and has plaques about the bear lake monster and bugs.  I read the book, Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling.






We came home on Thursday.  When we drove through Logan Canyon, we kept having to stop for cows in the road.  I have never seen so many cows all together in my entire life.  I read the book, A Stolen Life by Jaycie Dugard.

Feelings Smell

Anger smells like smoke, boiling from your brain

Happiness smells like pine trees, like refreshers for your nose.

Fear smells like gasoline, you know it's there, but not everybody is alarmed

Surprise smells like rain, a burst of shock and awe.

Sadness smells like salt, teardrops from the oceans.

Annoyance smells like skunks, someone you just want to get away from.
