Fun Memories of May

Spencer had his orchestra concert the other night and he played so well.  He plays the cello and we are so excited he wants to play again next year.  

 Another gorgeous Arizona sunset!

 A few Saturdays ago, Tom and I catered a Hawaiian Luau for a High Priests Group Party (not at the church, just a group of friends getting together to honor one of their friends who has terminal cancer).  It was out in Queen Creek at a beautiful home.

 Tom helped me set up then all "heck" broke loose!  A massive dust storm hit and everything went flying.  Then, the power went out and so did their hawaiian music and lights.  It seemed, for a while, like it was going to be a disaster.  I felt so bad for the lady who arranged for us to come.  Nobody was able to get desserts for a while since our shave ice depends upon electricity to work.  But, lo and behold, some ingenious men hooked up our machine to a generator and . . . voila!   We had power again!  The dust storm passed and we were able to serve everyone a delicious shave ice.  (the sweet man who had cancer came back for seconds and he asked for his to be "extra juicy!"  He was so cute!)

 Our ward has a service auction every spring to earn money for girl's camp and scout camp.  This year, our teenagers auctioned off a Swim/Shave Ice Party for 15 kids.  They earned $150 towards their camp fees by hosting this party and it was a huge hit with the kids!

 With Hailey and Spencer there were actually 17 kids there!

 We told the kids it was "All you can Eat Shave Ice" and I think they each had at least 3 of them!

I have a feeling this is going to become a yearly event in our ward!
