This past weekend was a pretty good one. Here are some of the highlights.
Friday night after dinner, Charly and I went over to our local nearby Crumbl Cookie store and got a dozen cookies to take to our granddaughter for her birthday on Saturday. Her 17th birthday is Sunday so we wanted to take her breakfast for her birthday on Saturday.
After we got the cookies, I got the Easter bags ready for all of our Utah County grandchildren. We also took them some paint-by-number kits because they all really enjoy artistic projects.
Saturday morning, we got up early and went to our daughter's home. We picked up our granddaughter and took her to a breakfast restaurant of her choice. She chose a crepe place that was very good. Here is a picture of Charly and our granddaughter waiting for our breakfast order.
We really enjoyed eating and visiting with our granddaughter who is growing into a very lovely young woman.
This is the crepe that I ordered. It had a cookie in the middle of the crepe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel all over the top. It was good, and the most sugar I have had in quite a while.
After we took our granddaughter home, Charly and I went to our favorite used bookstore in Utah County, Pioneer Book. I had a box of books to turn in for credit. It is always fun to browse all the used books at this large used bookstore. Charly found a book he wanted. I didn't get any books there. I got a couple at thrift store we went to later.
After the bookstore, it was lunch time, so we stopped at our favorite kolache place for a little lunch.
Charly enjoyed reading the book he bought while enjoying his kolache.
Saturday was another cloudy gray day. You can see how low the clouds were on the mountains. When we got home in the afternoon, all of the streets were wet, so it rained at our home, but not where we were in Utah County.
Saturday night after dinner, we finished the Netflix series American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders. We then started a new documentary Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal. I enjoy documentaries.
Sunday morning started off gray and cloudy. We went to church, as usual.
We attended our main worship service, then Charly and I went to the separate men's and women's classes. This is our woman's class.
By the time we came out to get in the car after church, the clouds had lifted and we had sunny, blue skies. Sunday's temperatures got up into the higher 50s, which was so nice.
Sunday afternoon, I finished this book, Habits of Holy Men by Don Staheli and Lloyd Newell. It wasn't a very long book, but it was chock full of good stuff.
Our Sunday dinner was a delicious ham and cheese sandwich roll. I got the recipe and directions over at Mari's blog, My Little Corner of the World. Look for the recipe under Cooking Thursday.
We had tater tots and green salad with Sandwich. It was all delicious, and best of all, we will have leftovers for tomorrow's dinner. I always get the best recipe ideas from Mari's blog.
After dinner on Sunday, we watched some more of Operation Varsity Blues on Netflix. It's an interesting and troubling documentary.
Finally, some of you are friends with me on Facebook, and I wanted you all to know that I have deactivated my account for a while, so you won't find me there and won't be able to message me on Facebook Messenger. The reason I deactivated my account is kind of a long story, but I hope to be back on in a couple of months. Until then, feel free to email me through the link on my blog.
