Nosh N Walk: Week 13

06/01/2021 #MillersNoshNwalk week 13: LeAnn and I had a busy Saturday putting in this landscaping wall around the front of the house. The Cypress trees were getting ungainly and the rhododendron in between hadn’t bloomed in the three years that we have been here. So we ripped them out and are excited to start anew and build up this new planting area. it really opened up the front of the house and sure lets a lot more light in! Who knew you could walk a couple of miles from just trudging around the yard? 4 hours after starting, we had the wall up, and were quite sore and almost too tired to go out to eat. Almost. We picked ourselves up and headed out to try Gor Gai Thai Street food in Auburn. They still didn’t have indoor dining opened up yet, and we really didn’t want to dine in the car again, so we were about to go and try to find another place, when we realized they had a nice outdoor seating area and the weather was just perfect. We ordered some of our favorite Thai dishes - Pork Panang Curry and Thai Fried rice. I’m a bit of a spice wimp, and LeAnn likes to crank it up, so we compromised with medium spice and waited for about 10 minutes. The food came out and it was AWESOME! It didn’t leave scabs in my throat and had great flavor. We enjoyed this place so much that we almost forgot how sore we were!

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.

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.

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! 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...
