Jasper v. The Kimballs Special

He asked the server if he got to pick his own flavors.  LOL.  #overheardatkimballs

The Swensens


It was so fun having the Swensens over tonight and going to Kimballs  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #awalumsummervisitors2017

I have problems

This is what no self control with a splash of Nutella looks like.  #greekdonuts

My coworker Mary

























My coworker Mary celebrated her 80th birthday traveling around the world for 80 days -- literally -- and is back and I've been asking her about her trip.  I'm so envious!  #sheaskedwhyiwastakingherphoto #caughtnotsmiling #maryoninsta

A House Full of Females

We are discussing Laurel Ulrich's new book A House Full of Females at book group and I made these cookies.  #iamsoclever #ididntreadthebookthough #yet #arlingtonwardbookgroupisforever

Happy Flag Day!

























We're not supposed to put decorations on our doors.  Don't care.  #stupidcondorules #rebelwithaflag #doessomeonedaretotellmetotakeitdown

MicroCenter

I bought a new phone and needed a case and screen protector for it.  One of the IT guys at work tipped me off that MicroCenter will match Amazon prices.  It was worth the hassle to get there tonight.  The case was $22.99 and the screen protector was $9.99.  I saved $37.00!  #bam #ipaidfullpriceforthepepsi

Carrie Hill is in the house

Like I said...lots of AW alums visit in the summer.  Carrie (LaPierre) Hill is visiting with her family (she has 7 kids!).  I've known her since she was a kid and can't even count how many movies I saw and outings I went on with Carrie and her twin Lisa...including the Hill Cumorah Pageant and NYC (where we got separated on the subway--a story for a TBT).  Carrie is a gem and I loved reconnecting with her tonight and seeing 5/7 of her kids.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #awalumsummervisitors2017 #plumislandsunburn

Arlington Ward alumni visitors

It's another summer of Arlington Ward alumni visitors--the Manwarings are back!  I love when friends visit.  Like I say, no offense but if you live in Dubuque, Iowa I don't think people come back to visit but if you live in Boston they do!  I love my Arlington Ward people.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #AWalumsummervisitors2017 #streetphotography #literally

Arlington Ward choir

Our ward choir is amazing.  #amirightoramiright Today they teamed up with the Belmont 2nd Ward choir and sang Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.  It was so beautiful.  This violin (or is it a viola?) belongs to one of the deacons in our ward.  I am always inspired by the music in our ward.  #arlingtonwardchoirmusicalnumbersareforever
