Garlic salt...

-
Do you have garlic salt in your house?
We do. We love it.
On grilled, sliced potatoes and on top of spaghetti. Yum.

So, if you have some in your house, do you know where it is?
Yesterday morning I found mine here...


...hidden inside a big jar of flour.
Why?
Because my funny hubby and I are about as mature as a couple of middle school kids.

We have been playing a long ongoing game of 'hide the garlic salt.'
It started quite awhile ago.
When Matt helps me clean up supper he often tosses the spices in whatever drawer is closest to his hand.
I'm grateful that he helps clean up but it is awfully hard to find the spice you want when it could be in any drawer.
Have you seen our kitchen drawers?
We literally have 20 drawers. And that doesn't include cabinets.

Anyway, one night when he was helping me pick up he decided to be funny and hid the garlic salt inside a box of granola cereal.
I found it the next morning and then hid it somewhere he would eventually find it.
And the game has continued from there.
Fun, isn't it?! :)

I've found the garlic salt in the shower behind the shampoo bottle, under my pillow (which I didn't notice until about an hour after I crawled into bed, in the van, in my coat pocket, in a drawer (NOT the kitchen drawer by the way) and many other places.

I should probably go.
I need to find a place to hide the garlic salt before Matt gets home!

Question: Do you have any funny games or rituals in your house?

Right off hand, I can't think of any crazy fun games but before kids we used to play hide and seek before the other one came home from work. So when Phil got home he'd have to come find me or vice versa. We found some really good hiding places sometimes. Now we play with the kids but I can hide behind the dining room table and Wendell walks right by, it's easy to hide from him (sometimes Harlie finds me first).

Keep having fun, it's great on a marriage!

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on

The other side of the dark day...

 Kate's dark day of Jun 27th came and went like any other day. Kate swam 100 fly in the Independence meet and finished 1st (she was the only swimmer in her age group to sign up, but who cares about details) and then she and Matt hopped in the car to drive up to Rochester for next-day appointments. The worst part of Kate's dark day was probably Matt trying out the Grimace meal at McDonald's. It was death by milkshake and yet he drank the whole thing. Can't let food go to waste, or something.  We braved June 27th with dread and came out on the other side. We enter year three into the cancer life. Two years of appointments, scans, blood draws, IVs, endless chemotherapies, daily medications. It is difficult to remember life before all of this, when Kate was able to get up at 6 a.m. to swim, play basketball, ride her bike, go to school and chase her sisters. We've all adapted even though no one wants to. Hand to God I keep hoping to have a tantrum and wake up from whatev

October things...

It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb
