FIVE SENSE FRIDAY

***
TASTING-

pulled pork sandwiches and

lotsa salads and delicious desserts at the

"Putting the Pasley's out to Pasture" party.

Amazing Jana orchestrated a goodbye party for our Bishop Jerry and his wife and my friend Judy tonight since they are sadly moving away.  She decorated everything so cute to match the theme, no surprise because have I mentioned that she's amazing.  Sweet Mindy made such a neat video slideshow of their family pictures... cute Aimee and the primary made a quilt with all the childrens handprints on it... and the young women put on a hilarious skit.  We were so worried we wouldn't have enough food to feed 200+ people, but just like the "loaves and fishes" there WAS enough for everyone... and then some.

I had been cooking (and cleaning) all day (totally worth it for such a fantastic woman like Judy!!) and several catastrophes happened along the way- burned butter that I forgot about cooking on the stove for caramel corn exploded when I poured it in a jar shooting shards of glass and melted grease everywhere, and Tade having a freak attack upon waking up from a nap panicked and peed all over the floor, I swear it was like he was holding the pacific ocean in his bladder (along with an "Oh Shiz" moment when I realized just how much pork I actually needed to cook) but things always turn out in the end, and even my sweet sister Sadie made some cookies to help me out... Thank you girlie!

This is some of what I brought...

1 cup of salsa

1 cup of brown sugar

(I also added chopped green peppers and onions)

cook on low for 8 hours in your crockpot.

FEELING-

thoughtful...

about Jerry and Judy's future adventures.  I heard her say tonight that she has lived in Idaho all her life and how weird it is to move to a different place.  Funny how one state over can have such a different atmosphere, but I remember feeling the exact same way about my move from Utah to Oregon, and then Utah to Idaho.  Change is hard at first... starting over is never easy... but it will get better with time, and they both have such warm and friendly personalities that making friends will be effortless.

visit Judy's great blog, she is also a wonderful photographer!

SEEING-
