General Conference & Grandparents

My parents had planned to come visit us in Salmon in early September, but on the weekend they were going to come, my dad got sick so they came the last weekend of September instead. They got here on Friday, Sept. 29th. They attended the Pocatello temple on their drive here, so they didn't arrive until about 5:00 that evening. I worked at the pharmacy until they arrived, and Kanyon was just getting off work, so they met us at the grocery store and took us out to dinner to the Bistro. (Josh was out of town driving bus for the football team, so he was unable to join us.) We ate out on the back deck because the restaurant was full inside, but my dad was cold out there the whole time. The food was delicious, though--their chicken coconut curry rice bowl is one of my absolute favorites!

On Saturday, we just hung out at our house. Since it was General Conference weekend, we watched conference together, and my mom and I worked on a puzzle as we listened (we finished it just as the last speaker spoke!). In between sessions, Josh burned our brush pile--my dad liked standing by it for a few minutes until it got too hot and ashy. He said it was the warmest he felt since he'd arrived in Salmon! After the last session of General Conference, my parents took us all out to dinner at the 28 Club that evening. We had a delightful meal together!

I showed them the "Triple S" area we've developed near our home
in recent years. They liked the peaceful, private corner of our property!

Puzzle completed!

After burning the pile in between sessions, Josh was tired!

Grandma and Grandpa Perkins left on Sunday morning to drive back to Logan. We watched the last two conference sessions ourselves and ate at Grandma Kathy's for lunch in between sessions. It was SO nice to be able to see all four conference sessions--I don't always get that opportunity. And watching conference with my parents was fun; it was the first time they've watched it at our house! It was such a lovely weekend in our home. I just love listening to our prophet! President Nelson has brought me so much hope and filled me with peace and provided me direction throughout the pandemic and the past few years.
