A farewell dinner.

Last night was our last evening with Steph until we meet her in Canada for the reception there. Jake was working so we decided to surprise him...and show up at Claim Jumper for dinner in his section. It was great fun...of course we had to hide...or at least keep our backs to the dining room while we waited for a table for 3 to be available in his section.

Surprise!

What a grin when he saw us...or at least when he saw Steph. Of course he was a bit embarassed by the picture taking...we tried to be sneaky...but the flash kept giving us away.

Here's Jake in action.May I take your order?

Great Service.


He's trying to ignore us.

Of course one has to leave a note and phone# for the "Hot" Waiter!

Proud Parents.

Artistic Expression.

We Toblers are talented! Usually it's well hidden but sometimes it just comes out.
We are artistic and our medium of choice is GRAHAM CRACKERS!

Jake & Steph were feeling a bit left out when they missed the building of the the Graham Cracker houses at the Tobler Christmas in Dupont. A Total Artistic Experience!So for their last free night together they decided let their artistic talents bloom.
They made Graham Cracker Houses...but not just any Graham Cracker Houses...

But the Salt Lake Temple....I wonder what inspired that?!

A Scientific Study

It's a proven fact...

If I don't get the garbage out first thing in the morning on garbage day...
The garbage truck comes before 8 am
and I miss it!

If I get the garbage out by 8 am..
The garbage truck doesn't come until late afternoon.

A tried and tested fact!

Good bye to an old friend

We don't just own a car...we Toblers marry them...for eternity or so it seems. But that's okay, I loved my "Old Lady Luxury car", my 1990 Cadillac Deville. It was a good ride...at least for the first 7 or so years. The past few years the poor thing was getting feeble. I really didn't like to drive her any further away than I could walk in 45 minutes. She's gone now and I do miss her or at least I miss what she was in her earlier years.She's been replaced...probably another "marriage" for us...a 2008 Nissan Sentra. We haven't really bonded yet and this one doesn't have a name yet. But I admit I feel like I've got wings..finally. I can go anywhere not only here in Vegas...But I could drive cross country. I don't remember ever having a car that I would trust taking alone long distances. It's so nice and I still have pinch myself that it is real. So I think me and my new car will get along just fine.

Happy Valentine Day
Wish we could share our cookies with you!

Makin' us Toblers look good.

Congratulations

January in Vegas

We spent a lot of our Saturday in the yard cleaning
and pruning.It was hard to prune the roses when they were still full of beautiful blossoms.
