(Mar 09) Buy a snowblower and it won't snow. Poor Jerry. He so wanted this snow blower. For the past few years, he's come in with his black beanie and gloves on and said, "I swear, this is the last year I am going to shovel." The tax return came, there was a sale, he called fom Home Depot, I agreed, it was bought, and then..... no snow.

Murphy's Law

streak is definatley broken
(Mar 09) Well, the streak is definatley broken. After a long dry spell, Jack heads back to the hospital. If you remeber he hadn't been to the hospital since he was about six. A nice streak of good health and a non-burden to the insuance company. Then last year, while visiting Eric in Colorado, he spliced his toe open. I thought it was just a fluke and Jack would be back to his good fortune. But now I am sure..... the streak is over.
We took him back to the hospital in March. Infact, he went first to InstaCare and then over to the hospital (why have one bill when you can have two). He had gone to a Boy Scout campout over at Five Mile Pass and had woke up that morning to a very high fever. He had gone ahead and tried to jog that morning (my crazy son) but stopped soon after. He went to his tent and was shivering and complaining he had a huge headace and his back hurt. They called us and told us they were bringing him home. The scout leader mentioned menangitis and it was in the back of my head too. We took him to InstaCare and the doctor was concerned. He ran a series of tests that made him believe it wasn't menangitis. After taking a Flu test, he said he didn't think it was that either. At that point he said we better go to the hospital to make sure.
After a couple hours at the hospital, it was decided it must be a virus or indeed a flu. By the next day he was feeling so much better. And his mom and dad were so much happier! No more hospitals, PLEASE!

Siegfried's Deli
20 W 200 South, Salt Lake City
"The Scene if you like huge, steamy bratwurst, German potato salad, cooked cabbage, and schnitzel, this Bavarian deli with a small dining room is the place for you. It's one of the few places in the area that specializes in German food, and you'll see many native Germans come in for takeout or to buy the ingredients to make dinner at home.The FoodSandwiches are sold, along with bread, meat, and cheese, all freshly sliced. Black Forest Cake is a Siegried's specialty, and many people order their layered cakes for special occasions. You'll also find a variety of chocolates and European cookies." Four 1/2 Stars
(Feb 09) Last year Dana and I found this cute little deli. We were a little early for our show at the Capitol Theater, and it was right next store. We tried some chocolate and Dana got some mints, that we later found out were cough drops, yuk. Everything was written in German. Guess we could have asked.
Later I was talking to Lyn (friend and neighbor), who is German and has spent a lot of time in Germany. She told us that she had been to the deli many times. She told us about the food and desserts and that we all had to go back. So the night the boys were on the Klondike, we took all our girls and went (Christina too, Dana's friend).
Lyn was our food guide and helped us make our choices. I had Wiener Schnitzel. I know you are thinking it is a hot dog of some sort. Wrong! It is a thin slice of veal coated in breadcrumbs and fried. It also came with a lemon wedge and I had them put gravy on it. I also had hot potato salad. Dana and Christina had spatzle, a type of egg noodles and small dumplings with gravy.Posted by Laurie at 8:07 AM 1 comments

Jerry's covet
(Feb 09) I'm sure he knows it's "not recommended" to covet your neighbor's things, but Jerry really loves Tom's new awesome firepit.

Klondike '09
(Feb 09) I had to start with this picture. Doesn't it look like one of those "Whack a Mole" games. Ok, back to the blog.
Jerry and Hank ventured the annual Klondike this year up at Jordanelle Reservoir. Too bad moms can't go (hah!) Our ward had a nice plot of snow. Hank took a turn chopping wood. The Dobson's brought their nice outdoor fire pit. They had hamburgers, salad and smores for dessert.

a family that puzzels together stays together
(Jan 09) Here is our Salt Lake City puzzle. Our third puzzle actually. This followed the Christensen: Story Teller puzzle and the Cub Scout Day Camp puzzle. Next we started the 2000 piece, Coke puzzle. After no kitchen table for a few weeks, we put it back in the box. It now sits on top of the fridge. Bet you didn't know Jerry was a puzzler!

still breathing, just too busy
Still breathing, just too busy. I missed a month of blogging and then I just got father and farther behind, kind of like laundry. What am I now...6 months behind! Infact, Hank came up to me yesterday and told me it was now his half birthday. He is now 11 1/2.
I could just start from today and go on from here, but... just like laundry, I have to do it all!
