Friday:
About 9-10 years ago I used to work in SLC for a computer training company, PPI. Ever since then, certain co-workers (without spouses) get together every six months for a dinner reunion. So, on Friday night, we had our bi-annual reunion at Fashion Place Olive Garden. We had SO much fun, once again. The people in the nearby tables were seemingly bothered by our loud jokes and laughter. But, who cares. Too bad they didn't have as much fun as we did. We decided that we can't wait six months for the next reunion, so the next one will be in 3 months, and this time we are going bowling, then dinner.
Here are Wendy, Dale and Joyce. Notice the drink in front of Dale. This is how the ordering went:
Dale:"Do you have Piña Coladas?"
Waitress:"Yes, we do."
Dale:"Virgin?" and points to the waitress.
Waitress looks baffled because she thinks Dale just asked her if she was a virgin.
Dale:"I mean, virgin Piña Colada."
Waitress:"Yes, we do."
We all bust out laughing when the poor waitress leaves.

Saturday:
Alex had his last soccer game of the season on Saturday. Tournaments start on Tuesday.
Even though it was a beautiful and sunny morning, it was, once again, freezing by the lake. Here we are all bundled up with Katie.
Future soccer star, Maya (Heather's daughter).
Saturday Night:
My old bishop and his wife from Finland have been visiting the States for the last 1 1/2 months. Their last stopover is in Utah, and we called them up and took them to dinner on Saturday night. They had never had sushi, or eaten food with chopsticks, so it was all new to them. According to them, they liked it a lot.

Sunday:
Got an early start and drove to Layton for Mike and Tai's baby blessing. Isaak was getting blessed. Great blessing, good food at the brunch (Alex couldn't get enough of the bacon, I couldn't stop eating the orange bread and donuts, Rod had fruit (yes, he has lost 20 lbs.).
BUT on the way to the blessing, we drove under a bridge on US89 that had a chain link fence on it. What we thought was a Welcome Home Elder... done with plastic cups nicely on the fence, it turned out that somebody had a fun sense of humor and changed the whole wording, and spelled:"Poop is Home". As you can imagine, we laughed.
After the blessing, we drove home through Daybreak, which is a new area southwest of Salt Lake. Beautiful houses and parks all over. The new temple is being built there too.

It was a busy but fun weekend.
