Jarom's Eagle Project
Jarom's Eagle project was a great success! We are so proud of Jarom for keeping at it and responding to Dad's gentle coaxing ;) to get it all done, all the calls and follow ups. His project was to sweep the headstones at National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in honor of our veterans. Veteran's Day was November 11th so this was the perfect weekend. Jarom's favorite and most rewarding part was the family members who had come to their loved one's headstone to put out flowers (and some to dust it off but we did it for them) and they took the time to let him know how much they appreciate what he was doing and it really meant a lot to them. I, unfortunately, was unable to help the nice lady who wanted her late husband's stone to be more shiney with the gold leaves but everyone else was so appreciative and impressed. One man found Jarom...disguised in his scout uniform ;)...to tell him he was an Eagle scout too and had come to honor his grandfather and hadn't even thought to bring a broom and was sooo glad to see us there, so he signed in on Jarom's helper list haha but he said thank you and it really meant a lot to him. YAY!!! Good job Jarom!!

Krista Stone is THRILLER!!!
This one's for you babe! HAHA So, don't go to the J&K Stone house EVER for an innocent dessert cuz before you know it you'll be suckered into relearning Michael Jackson's THRILLER dance and then teaching it to nutty young women on their 80's activity night. Ya, you heard me. Krista (in her 80's garb of course) & I were so TUBULAR that night and taught those girls how it's done! We actually had a blast and laughed ALOT and do not appreciate that Michael doesn't follow the 1 thru 8 counting rule with music ;) but all in all, we had fun, sweated, and had sore necks the next day (& sore hips cuz we can still shake it). So, to get her back...I'm posting the video. Enjoy. WAIT what am I doing??? I'm incriminating myself (& Maddi--she's in there in the argyle sweater)...I hope this is worth it and you all get a good laugh! Long live the 80's TO THE MAX
