Good Days

This picture made me laugh so hard after it was taken that I had no words.  At least at the time.  Since then words have come to me.  When Zac's mom and brother were here in Arizona we decided to try a Cornish Pasty (pronounced Pahstee as much as I would like to say Paistey--like John Stockton is the Pasty Gangsta)  Anyhoo, if you have not had the pleasure to eat a Cornish Pasty it is as follows:  Take a hot pocket and inject steroids into it.  One fellow describes them as a Sunday dinner hot pocket.  It is a plethora of goodness shoved into a pocket of dough and then baked to perfection.  Legend has it that these pasty's were made for iron miners.  Since they would be in a mine all day the miner wives would make these pasty's with meat and such on one side and a dessert on the other side and then they would label the sides so no accidental dessert got eaten first.  Since they didn't have the luxury of utensils besides pick axes, they used their mitts to eat them.  So there you go. AHHHH PEACHES!!

My life has been real good lately.  I am off the blasted boot and I have begun to swim again so I don't just stay indoors and make pictures out of the wall texture anymore.  I start up coaching the summer session in a few weeks and I am real excited for that!  We are going to Ohio in a couple weeks to see Baba (Zac's grandma) and we are pumped to play bingo and check out the senior center.  Today I hung out with Michelle and her kids pretty much all day and it was a BLAST.  They came over in the morning with a friend and we went swimming in our pool.  We played monster, hold your breath underwater, and a quick game of tag.  Then we polished off a handful of grilled cheese sandwiches and juice.  Then Michelle and I raced to see who could get ready the fastest (I gave her a 20 minute head start because she had to drop a kid off and then get ready herself....plus she has three kids).  I don't know HOW but she totally beat me so then I went and picked her up and we went to Costco.  Man, going places with friends is so much more fun even when you are an "adult".  So we weaved around Costco, had some Saturday Samples, biffed it into a rug, and solved some of the worlds problems to boot.  We then went to her pad and made homemade spins which ROCKED my face off. (a spin is ice cream and pop--I like coke/pepsi--and you mix it up and then drink it.  I use to get them all the time at RoAnns in Emmett)  After the spin we played some football with her son and I watched as she painted her daughters toe nails...all the while giggling like we were 16 again.  It was a definite summer's day that turned out to be so wonderful--especially because yesterday, today looked to be pretty bleak.  Not so.
