THE BEST LAID PLANS.........







Sometimes our best laid plans don't always go.......as planned! We were going to go to the movie "Emma" on Friday night but Tony was shopping for his gun (Father's Day present) and didn't get home till late so we decide to just go to dinner at the Sizzler and then come home and watch a DVD. We walked to the Sizzler (after all, it's nearly in our backyard) had a delicious steak and made plans to go target shooting Saturday morning. We got up, Tony went to mom and dad's to build a railing in the garage so it will be easier for dad to go outside without help. I stayed home and cleaned house and did laundry. When Tony was finished, we called some of the boys to see if they wanted to go target shoot with us. We waited for Colby while he and Krista purchased a new 22. They met us at the house and we picked up Chris Floyd and went to a very nice shooting range south of Nampa. It was so much fun blowing up cans and bottles. It rained on us a couple of times and we had to get back in the truck and wait it out but we managed to go through a few boxes of shells. After we got our fill of mayhem we went home and cleaned up and drove into Boise to see the movie we had planned on seeing Friday night. We picked up Krista and she went along as our chaperone (LOL) It was a very enjoyable day and the movie was very interesting. I learned somethings about Emma that I didn't know. She endured a lot of hardships and trials as did all the early Saints and I have a renewed admiration for her.
