The weekend came and went, and all without Jenny and I tackling any amount of cleaning, besides just surface dirt, at our house. We are just going to have to tackle various projects on our own, because finding a time when we are at the house together is getting difficult. So, keep you fingers crossed that everything gets cleaned up before next weekend.
Next Sunday just happens to be the 3rd Annual Denise Garner Apple Taste Test! A few years ago, I noticed that there were a huge variety of new apples in the grocery store. Who knew if any of these apples were any good, and wondering how they compared to other favourites, I decided to buy a couple apples of each variety and have a taste test to see which apple is the best.
Over the years the taste test has grown in size and popularity. Last year we sampled 11 varieties with the ever delicious Honeycrisp apple coming out on top. Sadly, the Red Delicious was deceiving in name, and ended up last. Let me know if you are interested in attending our event, or even hosting a branch gathering of your own.
Besides being best friends with ¼ of the Apostles, I am now also best friends with my Bishop. I think we are too alike in nature, and we spent a good hour after church swapping stories. We looked at the wall of pictures of the ward members for someone for me to date. After a long while, the Bishop sadly announced he didn’t think anyone was good enough for me; that I was just too awesome for all of the guys in our ward. He then suggested we both pray for someone awesome to move into the ward.
I am pretty sure this is going to be a fun year, with or without someone to date.
So far it is looking like a pretty good week.
Waiting for Sloan, maybe
Doing okay with what I’ve got.
As Always,

I love your idea for an apple taste-test. I'll try it with my boys. Too bad we don't live closer, you could try a Gala from our tree; it's overflowing this year.
I would so love to be at your house when you are taste testing your apples. Perhaps I'll have to make a fall visit one day. We have Gala here and Fuji and Delicious and (one other I can't remember). We still like Gala the best and we look for the biggest we kind find. (Some are pretty puny!) Good luck with everything! I agree with your bishop! Love, Aunt Gayle
