Building the Tabernacle Experience

Volunteered to help build the tabernacle of the Tabernacle Experience, a life-sized replica of the Tabernacle of Moses.  It was a long day and slightly hard work, but interesting to see how it was put together. Cathy and I drove together and we saw several folks we knew from our ward and stake.  I sure was glad to take a shower that night and get cleaned up after all that dust and sweat!

Don staked down posts, too.

One of the missionaries trying to see if he could accurately space out the posts
using his body length as a measure-funny.

Another Epic Trip

Tom is good at planning these trips we take to help Kimo drive either to school or drive home and this, being his last drive from Rexburg, was no exception.  Had a good, memorable time visiting family, friends and beautiful sights!  Well done, Tom!

Father's Day, Space X Launch and Friends

Secretly washed Tom's car for him as a treat and then  spelled out a love note for him using the hose! Brother Webb sporting a bedazzled tie for Father's day Got Tom a recharchable back scrubber for the shower-he liked it! Another cool twilight SpaceX launch! Nice to meet up with Maren for lunch; she's so uplifting! Curtis passed the reins to the new Coordinators of the FS Center.  We made him a pop-up book to show our appreciation for him! We had a rather low-key 4th of July this year, staying home. The fireworks can be triggering to Tom's PTSD sometimes, so instead, we closed all the windows and put on white noise!

Coast Guard Drill

Boat owner reached out via PL Connections asking for help to complete a Coast Guard mandated drill.  They needed 41 people on a weekday morning to help with the drill, so I rambled down to the waterfront to help.  CG needed to time us exiting the boat using two different routes and we passed the test.  I was rewarded by meeting up with Michelle, a friend I haven't seen in a few years---nice! Michelle in the dark Everyone was treated to donuts and drinks and then they did a raffle for additional prizes.  I didn't win anything, but did get stung by a bee that got tangled in my hair! Nice mingling with other volunteers!
