Happy Halloween!

We have hundreds of photos from our childhood but none of us in Halloween costumes.  I love this one of my cute little brothers.  #throwbackwednesday #pattonmemories

Danish Puffs

They have a few steps but are worth it.  Too bad it's too late for deliveries.  Or is it?  #ilovetobake

Chapel flowers

























Every Sunday there are beautiful flowers on the podium in our chapel.  I've been trying to find out who puts them there but haven't had any luck.  I just want to say THANK YOU.  #belmontchapelsundayflowers

AW Primary singing the Pioneer Day song

Starring Katie Laughman as the chorister.  And speaking of trekking to the west I think half our Primary is vacationing in the west right now!  #pioneerday #arlingtonwardkidsarethebest #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Bedford Farms

























We capped the night off with ice cream at Bedford Farms.  #icecreameverynight #well3nightsinarow

Lobster rolls

I suggested we get lobster rolls at Chauncey Creek in Kittery or WOODMAN'S and Fabio picked WOODMAN'S.  #thereisalobsterrollunderthere #givememydinnerinabox #deliciousdinner

Fabio needed to see Maine

Right?  #nubblelight #fabioramblesaroundnewengland2018

York Beach, Maine

This is one of my favorite places in the whole world.  #epramblesaroundnewengland2018

My wedding invitation file

I'm not ready to part with them yet.  I loved looking through them today.  #epdeclutteringof2018 #ornot

#journalburning

























I have a lot of journals.  Like probably 4 Rubbermaid bins full.  And I haven't really written much in the last 20 years.  I decided recently that I want to burn them (maybe I can lease the fire pit in Danielle Harrell's backyard).  Don't try to make me change my mind -- nobody wants this drivel and I don't have kids I can pass them on to!  I've been reading through them, taking some photos of pages, typing up snippets and sending them to family and friends, and rolling my eyes at how many times I said something was NEAT.  And being embarrassed that I was so desperate for Brad to invite me to Mormon Night at Disneyland (and he didn't).  Anyway, I'm glad I recorded so much of my life and today I'm recyling some of the pages.  #epkeepsitreal #thesejournalsareembarrassing

Cleaning out my kitchen

I started cleaning out my kitchen today for the #epkitchenupdateof2018.  I'm trying to decide if I want to keep these sifters or sell them.  #epthecollector #iloveantiquing

The treat was meeting up with the Yins

It was fun to meet Christina, Teddy and Abby at Kimballs tonight (they live in Japan).  And Heather Cooprider (not pictured).  #kimballs #bostonfriendsarethebestfriends

Bedford Farms

A friend is moving to California this weekend and I was under some time constraints so we went to Bedford Farms instead of Kimballs.  I hope nobody ghosts me for it.  #oreoicecream #bedfordfarmsicecream #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Dinner with the Sisters

Just fed the sisters pizza from Upper Crust.  That's how I roll.  #gloriadorneles #kikiculp #arlingtonwardsistersareforever #MBM

The Dukes

I remember looking around the room at Erin Duke's baptism and saying to myself--everyone loves the Dukes.  They are some of my favorite people.  Erin is in town and I feel lucky I got to spend a bit of time with her and Kyle (Smile Duke I call him) and Amy.  #everyonelovesthedukes #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever @erindjohnson @kaduke76

Work breakfast

Today was our annual work breakfast at Henrietta's Table.  I got poached eggs and salmon on anadama toast.  It was gooooooood.  #mostexpensivethingonthemenu
