What not to Wear






Scott and I were headed out to some friends house tonight and this is the outfit he thought he was going to wear. He walked out wearing his dress slacks, nice shoes, leather belt and a mesh athletic top (yes, those are bright big orange "T"'s all over it) and on top of that, he had it all tucked in so nice to show off that dressy belt and pants! He couldn't see anything wrong with this! I am posting these pictures to get your opinion - let me know what you think....is he hopeless or was I just too hard on him??? Keep in mind, these pictures do not this outfit justice!

oh no! that shirt totally cracks me up & with the belt & shoes... i wonder if it is the 40+ issue - do we start losing our sense of style at age 40 or did he ever have style to lose? thanks for the giggle

Wait I have to explain- these are not dress slacks- they are 100: cotton khakis (in the south we substitute these for jeans). The shirt is a nice golf style shirt. I deferred to the women in the house and substituted the 4 pocket mexicna style shirt Shane brought me back from Puerto Rico. I think they wished they hadn't been so hard on my previous shirt.

Stacy & Clinton would have fun with this one... (I love that show!) Even here in the south, that's a bad outfit. Sorry, Scott. I have seen many men around here try to pull off Khakis like jeans, but it really doesn't work. Jeans would have looked so much better. Even some cargo shorts would work. I'd love to see a picture of the final shirt. (Of course, my first memory of Scott was him wearing a missionary white shirt that had a definite brown wash to it... Paraguay dirt had become part of that shirt.)

Donnie has been known to put together such outfits, too. His favorite used to be his Bjorn sandals with socks... And, he wasn't even 35 doing that! I'm doomed when he is officially an old man. I see black socks and shorts in his future...

I personally think the outfit is fine if you are going out with Shane and Julie but if you are going out with us.....well I'd have to ask you to change ;) Nathan has had his fair share of "send backs" from me too before a date. It's okay Scott we know you are doing your best!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
