We had several factory-type experiences together last month. I went to the Twin Falls area of Idaho twice with Glen so that he could help with some big G&K installs at two different Glanbia Cheese factories.
Closer to home, we had the opportunity to help out with our ward's assignment at the Spice Cannery in Centerville. The Young Men had been given the assignment, but there was a concern that they wouldn't get enough of them there that night and so we volunteered to help out.
Since Glen's high council assignment has changed and he is now over all the welfare projects in our stake, he thought it would be a good idea to go see what that particular work project is like. I knew full well what we were in for because I have worked there several times before with the Young Women. We could certainly tell (or smell) what spice we would be doing that evening when we walked in the door--chili powder!
While driving home, my husband pleasantly surprised me by suggesting we stop for a treat at Nielsen's Frozen Custard. He's not usually a sweets kind of guy and so it's a rare thing when he wants to get dessert. As luck would have it, I had in my purse a coupon for two free cones. I begged Glen to put out a small amount of money so I could get a topping on mine. He got a plain, old cone and I ordered mine in a cup with cookie dough chunks. MMMmmmmm, good!!
To capture the memorable moment of us eating our sweet treats together, I insisted we take a self-portrait of ourselves (was that a redundant phrase?), which is always my least-favorite types of pictures. The photographer covered up the flash with his hand, so one of us is in the dark, but don't our desserts look delicious?
In this next photo, the lighting has improved, but the centering of the subjects is a bit of a problem--not to mention someone didn't get her ice cream treat up high enough to be in the picture.
FINALLY, we got it right!!
