Tom is a Hunk

The sun was shining on the side of Tom's face today, making him look extra handsome.  I was struck by the white line of sunshine along his jawline and as I described it to him, told him I wanted to take a picture.

(He is used to my taking pictures of him all the time.)  

 

He may not say it, but I know he likes the attention
and I like his dimples! Let's just face it, I like him all the way around!

Columbus Day Off

Tom had Columbus Day off so we ate a nice sushi lunch then walked it off up at the lighthouse.  Perfect weather here lately, not too cool, not too hot.  

I love it!

 The colors of the foliage here is beautiful-so many shades of green and brown.

Nice walking with Tom and Emi

USS Theodore Roosevelt off in the distance

Believe the sign, we've seen 'em!

Shadow and light

I always draw faces on my sushi pics to send to Kimo.

These boots have been sitting on a curb on base for a couple of months now.  I think they're hoping the person who lost them will pick them up!
Every week when we go to the base, we look out for them to see if they are still there.

Tom was nice enough to model the hat I crocheted while
watching general conference.  

 

Thankful for the Missionaries

Hurricane Helene and Willing Volunteers

Hurricane Helene has devastated many families, displacing many from their homes and leaving whole communities in need of urgent assistance.  

My stepdad is one of the luckier ones.  Yes, his power/water have both been cut, but no trees hit his house nor has it received any flood water damage.   

Still, volunteers have stepped up to help him, offering food, water, cell phone charging and help cleaning up debris. I reached out to the Facebook page of the Mission closest to my step-dad's place, asking for help for him and the Stake President's wife and two of their kids answered the call! Wow! 

Thank you Sister Jones and family!

All cleared!
Wonderful!
So grateful!
