On Saturday we had our 9/11 Day of Service. This was a project headed by Rick and I, the mayor, and two high councilmen, one from each stake in Grantsville. We had been planning it for months. The mayor is leaving office next year and wanted to have us come together as a community and spruce up the cemetery. We printed banners and flyers and included the youth from the community to help spread the word. I think we counted about fifty plus people and we definitely could have used more but overall it was a successful project.
We had a group cleaning the headstones....
another painting the gazebo....
another unearthing old family plot lines...
another picking up all of the branches from the many trees that had been trimmed...
edging and weeding....
and lastly raising some of the stones that had fallen under the grass so they could be seen.
It was A LOT of work and not gonna lie, my body hurt afterwards....especially my knees!
Ugg! Gettin' older!
Later that evening after watching Rafe play his second half of the game,
we went out to Capital Grill for a scrumptious dinner to celebrate both of our birthdays.
The food was great except for my steak that was sadly undercooked.
The manager was very kind and did not charge us for it which was nice because this place is NOT cheap!
They then brought us out two wonderful dessert plates that we LOVED!
I love living life with my best friend in the whole world!!💋
