PERHAPS WE ARE ALL NUTS!

The girls put on their best smiles for us during our trip.  We were so grateful that Julie sacrificed her bedroom so that we could have our privacy.  She set up a cot in Brendan's room.  Brendan and Julie seem to get along quite well, thank goodness!

Dayle Jr. had a lot to smile about.  I did sneak a peek into his bedroom, and I must say that it was quite well organized.  This is a big compliment for a teenage boy.  But then, when I consider what Jr. has accomplished in scouting, school, baseball, and music, can anything other than crowning accomplishment be expected.

Dayle Sr. has a lot to smile about in this picture.  Belana has the looks of a movie star and is so smart, athletic and musically talented.  Somehow I feel really comfortable with her driving.  She has a spirit of confidence behind the wheel.  

We feel really happy and blessed with wonderful family located in two states.  Traveling to Washington is always a fun thing to do, whether by air or by car.  We love this land of beauty and opportunity.  We have encountered people of all races, religions, and values; and I must say that life here is good.  

With that off my mind, it is time to discuss "THE WHOPPER TEST."

Tammy has long contested that Utah whoppers are better than Washington whoppers.  In fact, during past trips to our state, she has made it a point to buy whoppers here.  Those of us living here, have found this behavior kind of strange, being that whoppers are all produced and packaged back east.  

I have long contended that the Walmart truck delivers whoppers in Utah first then 2 days later, in Washington, and that her fascination with Utah whoppers is just psychological. With this in mind, we bought a box of them and transported them to Olympia.  At the Walmart there, we bought another box.  

We then had the whopper challenge in Tam's home.  The whole family participated, and without exception, the Utah whoppers won!.  As you look at the above picture, the Washington whoppers are a little darker.  According to all the participants, the Utah variety won, hands down! 

Now, the funny thing is that, in Washington, we bought a box and brought them back to Utah.  We had the same test with family here, and guess what?  The Washington whoppers won, hands down!  No kidding!  How do you explain this?  PERHAPS WE ARE ALL NUTS!
