Milestone

I've been waiting months for this to happen, and the moment arrived yesterday.

Yes, the Saturn turned 222222 miles.  The little red car has been a good and faithful companion for many in the Scoresby family as it has traveled to The Scott's Company countless times, the stake center in Dublin, many tennis matches and basketball games, to D.C. Everest and back a number of times, various trips to airports and other small vacations, a big trip to Utah, and since then many locations in that state such as St. George, Park City, and all over Provo.  Here's to another 111111 miles!

Of course, I think the transmission is on it's way out.  Is it worth a new transmission for another 100,000 miles?  Dad?

Dyslexia?

Last night we got a good laugh when Brian and I took Janet to the Malt Shoppe.  While we were looking at the menu, we noticed the following items being offered:

--Lemon Mereign Shake
--Jumble Berry Shake (Raspberry + Balckberry + Blueberry)*
--Harlibut Fish Sandwitch

*Mark Extar 10 cents

But the best part was when we were looking at the music in the jukebox, and we found our favorite new singer--Michael Bubble

Contest results

Thanks to all who entered.  All the suggestions were great.  The winner is...Emily.  I know not everyone understands it (including Brian) because only Full House aficionados will remember Uncle Joey's woodchuck.  Look for the new blog design soon.  Or maybe I'll take a vacation from blogging like everyone else (Mom and Janet excluded).

Contest!

Since I'm going to get married, I am planning on renaming my blog.  I've noticed some pretty witty and clever blog names out there, like my friends the Webers who named their blog "The World Wide Webers."  A last name like Scoresby is hard to do anything with, but there are many possibilities with a name like Wood.  So, I'm holding a contest to see who can think up the cleverest name for a blog using Wood in the title. Entries are unlimited, and the winner gets...a stick of gum!  Get excited.  On your mark, get set, go and comment!

Memorial Day

To celebrate Memorial Day, Brian and I visited the Provo Cemetery, where we both have great-grandparents buried.  After Brian found his great-grandparents' grave, I called Mom to see if she could direct me to Theras Orson and Florence Rheuamah Porter Allred's grave.  We couldn't find it with Mom's directions (it's by a tree), so we looked it up in the office.  It's a good thing we did because although the gravestones are correct, in the cemetery's records Theras Orson is buried with Theras Quathel's wife, Marguerite, and Florence is buried with Quathel.   That would be a family scandal.  The kind lady said she would fix that on the records right away.  And funny enough, the gravestones were in the area where there are no trees.
