November came quickly and was filled with lots of extra-curricular activities!
This fun group went to the Mystery Escape Room at Gateway in SLC and had a blast!! We had an hour to escape with lots of difficult and crazy clues and we escaped with 52 seconds to spare! The escape rate for that particular room is 17% so we were quite proud of ourselves...
I accompanied my parents to Hacienda Heights, CA for the funeral of our dear family friend Jim Smith. We flew out at 7 am and flew home at 9:30 pm. It was a long day but a great day to see old friends and neighbors from California. We attended the viewing, funeral, gravesite service and luncheon and my 80-year-old parents were troopers--even with me driving on the crazy California freeways...
Jim's wife Brenda is an absolute gem.
Jim's daughter Chanda Smith Davis is one of my oldest and dearest friends and we have fond memories of attending BYU-Hawaii in 1984 together...
I hosted a fun ward and neighborhood baby shower for one of our awesome Primary teachers and daughter of our last Bishop, Allison Brewster Bell. She will be an amazing mommy!
So lucky I was able to reserve a much-coveted spot at A Bountiful Kitchen's Si Foster's Thanksgiving Basics class. The best part (besides the amazing demonstration of everything to make for a Thanksgiving dinner in 3 hours) was getting to EAT IT!
John and I were privileged to be invited by our friend and neighbor Jill Parrish to her investiture as a United States District Judge in the new federal courthouse building downtown. It was a wonderful program filled with remarks from Supreme Court justices, the Honorable Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch, her husband Blake presenting her with her robe and a fabulous response from Jill. Fun to run into lots of friends and neighbors as well...
Bring on Thanksgiving--I'm ready!!
