Too Cute

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have never a lump.

May your yams be delicious

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Thanksgiving

We just want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! We know that we have MUCH to be thankful for - Our family, extended family, friends and so much more. We live in a nation considered rich by many since we can read and have one meal a day. We certainly don't feel rich but are thankful for our education and educators and those that grow the food we eat. Please know that, as you read this blog, we will be saying a prayer of Thanks for You this season.

12 Wins, 0 Losses

Well the University of Utah ended their season on Saturday with a perfect record, 12 Wins! So now they are ranked #6 in the nation and will wait to see which Bowl game they get invited to. The city was buzzin, just like the 80's when the 49ers had such great seasons. It was a fun year. Now Rick can rest his vocal cords and come home without confetti all over his clothes.

Rivalry Week

Well this is the week where all the rival schools play each other. My brother Ray was convinced that he would have gotten better care at Stanford if they didn't know he went to Cal Berkley! It's called the Holy War here in SLC due to University of Utah playing BYU. So the big game is here on Saturday. All the testosterone and estrogen from around the nation spikes over all the college rivalry games. It should be a lot of fun!

Attempted Home Invasion

Last night someone tried to break into Sara and Nick's home while they were home sleeping. The dog (Nilla) went nuts and yet it did not scare this guy away. He attempted to open windows and the front door. He then pounded on the windows and doors and went into a rage. All the while, Sara had 911 on the phone. The intruder finally got tired and went down the street. When the cops arrived, they looked for but couldn't find him - then another call from a neighbor with someone trying to break in. Hopefully they caught him. These are scary times and people will get more desperate as times get tougher.

Notes to self - get a dog - a loud one, ok set the alarm (Rick's done with dogs), get a gun, and buy bullets.

Monday Night Football and Sushi

Tomorrow night we're having friends over and making sushi. Yum. We have Ebi Shrimp, broiled eel, taco (octapus), tomago, kappa maki (cucumber roll) and California rolls (cucumber, crab and avacado).
