The Excells Came To Visit

The weekend we had been waiting for had finally arrived when Sarah and Jeff came to town. Hurrah!! Glen came home from work a little early and got the grilled chicken ready for serving while Sarah fed Jeff some grapes.


Glen and Jeff had some guy bonding time watching T.V.


We enjoyed playing Rook, although I think Glen would have rather had a more aggressive partner. Abe, where are you when we need you?


Our big highlight of Saturday was going to see "Phantom" at the Hale Centre Theatre. It wasn't THE "Phantom of the Opera" like I'd thought when we'd arranged for Jeff and Sarah to go with us. Oops!! Oh, well--still fun to get together with my parents for that.


We made a stop at IGA to buy fertilizer and grass seed. Sarah was hoping Jeff would consent to buying a new pet there--a baby chick--but they came out empty-handed.


While waiting for the guys to get the stuff loaded into the trunk, Sarah and I entertained ourselves by taking pictures of each other.


Sarah could be found several times throughout the day helping herself to some Oreo cream pie.


Dallas, Rebecca, Brooke, Ben and Heather drove up from Provo to have dinner with us.




It was nice having Jeff and Sarah to sit with at church. I got several comments on how cute and happy they look.


Pretty soon their 2-day vacation had come to an end and they were packing up to leave.


It was so nice having them here, although I have been quite concerned about them being around us sickos. I have been coughing my head off for the last 2 weeks and Glen was sneezing his head off and had a very runny nose and was feverish both days they were here. We definitely were not at our best and I hope we haven't passed our germs on to anyone.

I've been back to the doctor and the new diagnosis is pneumonia. So he added 2 more medications onto my asthma medications and I'm now a walking pharmacy.


Between all the coughing and now all these drugs in me, I have been having some very wakeful nights.


Good thing I have this blog to keep me occupied in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep.
