Light the World, Charlie Brown

12/21/2020 ‘Twas the night before the night before the night before Christmas When all through the house, many features were playing, some with Mickey Mouse The treadmill was running while I looked out to stare, At the big screen TV and all of the Christmas movies there. The children (yes we still have two that came home) are hanging out in their beds, While dad is virtually #toddlingaroundtheworld on these noisy old treads With LeAnn in our room, maybe taking a nap, I keep trudging along, walking lap after lap. I looked out the window while hearing the loud pitter patter, Of the incessant rain that falls on our roof with a splatter. I hear from downstairs the bark of our dog Flash, But pay no attention to him, as I must keep up on my dash... =============================== This past month I have been watching and walking through a plethora of Christmas movies. I have separated them into Animated movies and other Christmas classics. This first post is for the Animated ones, which I finished tonight. Here is a funny excerpt from A Charlie Brown Christmas: Lucy Van Pelt: I know how you feel about all this Christmas business, getting depressed and all that. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want. I always get a lot of stupid toys or a bicycle or clothes or something like that Charlie Brown: What is it you want? Lucy Van Pelt: Real estate. —- Hahahahaha! Then Linus shares with us What Christmas is really all about https://youtu.be/1u3Ia6msMFw —— Here is my list of Animated Christmas Movies for the most recent #treadmillmoviemarathons : Which is your favorite?

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

#millersnoshnwalk week 49: We had the pleasure of hanging out with the Scurvy Dogs Book Club on the last day of the month. We had some trouble getting the gang together this month, but squeaked by on 2/28 to keep our streak alive! Going into our 11th year of the book club, we have met every month and have now read 129 books. This past month we read The Lincoln Highway, by Amor Towles, it was a good read. We met up at BBQ Pete’s and had some fantastic BBQ and invited the Scurvy Wives. I had a prime rib dip sandwich and LeAnn had the ‘Sandwich with No Name’ - sliced brisket, cheese and crispy onion straws. They even had free soft serve ice cream cones! So good.

Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

While on my Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing these walks on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Dummer, who is serving in our Ward. We have had the privilege of having her over to our house for lessons and for dinner. It has been great to get to know her and see her beautiful smile and the love she has for the Gospel. She has been in the mission now for almost a month, and I can tell she is going to help change so many lives for the better as a missionary! Here is a bit more about Sister Dummer, so you can get to know more about her and why she is so special: She is from Layton, UT And loves Running, hiking, swimming, baking, being with f...

I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! These past few weeks I have walked 150.4 miles for Elder Brendan Murphy, who is my nephew. (Gotta go a few extra marathons for my family!) I decided to walk the distance between the first two Cities he has served in in Finland, Turku and Lahti. Brendan is a special man, with a beautiful smile. He is intelligent, kind and thoughtful. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up and become such a man who is now serving the Lord with all his heart, might, mind and strength. It is an honor to be his uncle. Here is a bit more about Elder Murphy, so you can get to know more about him and why h...
