We had the Elders over for dinner last night.
On the menu...teriyaki glazed salmon (Cliff broiled to perfection) yummy green salad (with cranberries, almonds and feta cheese), garlic mashed potatoes and pink lemonade.
For dessert...apple cobbler ala mode.
The entertainment...THE funniest elders we have had grace our home to date.
We were laughing almost from the time they got there until they left. One of them did an impersonation of a blogger that had me totally pegged. I even snorted at one point!
They loved our kids...and we think we have even converted them to home schooling! (That wasn't our intent...but I sure hope they find those special ladies that are willing to give it a whirl...)

Cliff was the one that made them sing...but first he made them leave with us the obligatory spiritual message. No worries, Mission President...I insisted they do a religious number...it's never too early for Christmas music!
"Thank you, thank you...we'll be here all week!"
We were still talking about them tonight at dinner. Coree wants to invite them to dinner every night.
Patrick said, "Isn't it cool how we get the missionaries we need? We got Elder Richardson and Elder Bunn when we were doing the back yard..." (they were very handy, hard-working guys) "and now when we REALLY needed to laugh, we got these guys."
Great observation, Patrick...they really were a tender mercy.

What is goin ON?! Last time we had the men in suits over for dinner 3 weeks ago, I grilled (to perfection) salmon glazed in honey and Hawaiian BBQ, had a salad with feta on it, mashed red potatoes and substitute peach (from the orchard) cobbler for the apple. Can a new mission guideline be far away?
Dad
WOW! I guess the apple (or peach) doesn't fall far from the tree! Parks' are known for their impeccable taste, are they not?
