Sweet & Sour

This post is titled Sweet & Sour because there has been some sweet things going on lately and some sour. This first picture is Sweet. Our weekend treat was home made caramel pecan popcorn. So good!!

This was a cool recipe. I popped popcorn kernels over the stove in this pot with a little bit of oil in the bottom. Then after the popcorn was popped, we melted sugar in the pot until it was caramel. Then added butter, vanilla and vinegar. Then added the pecans and popcorn and stirred it all together!

This was also a sweet. Kate and Clark came and visited us. Kate went to school here so it was fun for her to see it changing. Pretty sure Clark just thought that BYU-I was just a building in the middle of snow plains- so it was good that we clarified that for him. :)

We went bowling, to the temple and to lunch with them. Bowling was a lot of fun. Kate and I were both having an "off" day (since usually we both pretty much bowl a perfect game) right kate? :) so we were a little frustrated....but it was still fun.

Sadly- oh uh, i mean luckily... :) Brett and Clark both share the passion of Golf. So we made time to go to the driving range and they taught Kate and I how to improve our golf game. Don't get me wrong- I support Brett's love of golf, it's just i can't golf 24/7 like my hubby can!

This is where the story gets sour. Grandpa passed away Thursday, October 15th. He was such an example of generosity, kindness and humility.

I went home for the funeral this weekend, it was really nice to be there with family and to say a final good-bye to Grandpa.
Grandpa's backyard was always such a jungle-gym to me growing up. He loved having his big garden and many fruit trees. This is his famous pomegranate tree; i took a few home this weekend...
