Month: June 2022

Today we went to Myung Rang Hotdog. I’m the one who suggested this one and everyone was surprised because of the hotdog!

They have a table of sauce. You can either use their formula or make your own.

Eli’s is on the bottom. A sausage dog.

The tasty one on top is the potato hotdog. This one is mine 🙂

The outside is potato and the center is filled with cheese! All the meat eaters thought this one was the best! I would have to agree 🙂

After lunch we went down the street to Sweet Churros.

Churro with ice cream!

Chocolate and dulce de leche filled churros for this side of the room.

It was nice of Aaron to treat us to the churros. I drive past this place all the time, so it was fun to try. I wouldn’t come back only because churros are not my thing. Eli was begging to come back because he wanted the churro with fruit. For the price they wanted, I told him we will pick up three churros from Sam’s with several cartons of fruit!

The potato filled with cheese? Will be back tomorrow for another one!

We finally made it to the air show! The last time they had a show one of our Quarry Bend employees refused to come to work so I had to work for him and missed the show. Fast forward through the every other year they put on a show, the COVID years, and finally the time has come to see the show and I’m not going to miss it!

We took the front runner to Hill Air Force base and so did the other 500,000 people. We were crammed in there. Paul and I felt like we were back in London on the tube at rush hour! No seating or standing room. No need to hold on to the railing when the train came to a stop because we all held each other up 🙂

Just as we reached the Clearfield station the train conductor told us they were not going to let any more people onto the base because they reached capacity. We we got off the train and walked to the shuttle anyway. We came all this way. I was going to set up my chair and watch the show from afar. Good thing we stayed. After 1/2 hour they opened the base and we headed up there.

This simple trip to the base was an ordeal. We left home at 10:00 am and arrived on the base at 1:00pm! We were pretty tired when we got there.

The wait and craziness with transportation was worth it. We walked onto the base, found some shade, set up our chairs and these two came out!

Dad walked around showing Eli the planes he worked on when he was in the air force.

He talked my dad into purchasing the most expensive airplane.

It was worth it. He loved it!

He followed all the jets in the sky with it.

Finally the Thunderbirds came out!

F-16’s are my favorite planes. I absolutely love them! I remember being on base for family day. Standing next to the tarmac and having that first jet fly over us. It flew so low and so LOUD! I was hooked on these planes.

It was a VERY long day. We left the base at 4:30pm and didn’t get home until 9:00pm, but it was worth it! I sure hope Eli loved it as much as I did 🙂

Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron came and slept on our couch for the last 7 days!

Meet our nurse. Eli kept our cups full of water and brought us blankets when we were cold. For seven days he played legos and watched PJ Masks all day long. All. Day. Long.

I love my mug. I had this full of sprite every morning.

Eli: “Can I have Doritos for breakfast?”

Lrrr: “Sure.”

Yeah, don’t mind the bed in the living room. 🙂 The nights were brutal. The days were full of coughing, fevers, chills, extreme sore throats, laryngitis, and nausea, but the nights! Oh, the nights were the worst. Coughing, heavy and cut lungs, and the crazy dreams. I dreaded going to bed at night.

Eli watched TV non stop with us. When we were taking a nap, Eli was watching PJ Masks. He must have watched 4 seasons, all episodes three times.

When we were awake we watched cooking shows together. When I watch these shows, I have my laptop next to me downloading recipes. Eli wanted to do the same so he started transcribing the recipes. Every night, a new episode and a new recipe he wrote. Eli said we are going to gather our recipes, make a recipe book and sell it on Amazon. I love it.

This is Eli taking a shower! Okay, not quite, because I asked him to grab soap and he didn’t. 🙂 But, he is cleaner than he was yesterday.

Paul and I were reminiscing that we have had one flu/ cold a couple of years ago that cough was worse than this Omicron. But this is lasting 7 days. That other rough cold/ flu was about 4 days. Just waiting for Lrrr to leave.

This was a terrible way to start out our summer, but we are now immune for the rest of the summer. Time to enjoy the next few months!
