Sausages, Housecoats, and MuuMuus

Alright, take a look at these bad boys. Yesterday was obviously Labor Day. My grandma and grandpa Clarke invited our family over to their cabin up Big Cottonwood Canyon for dinner--smoked apple chicken sausages were served. Okay, just hearing that makes you feel a little queasy, don't you think? I was surprised. They tasted pretty good. I just can't really think about what I'm eating, or else I lose my appetite. But overall I enjoyed them... so highly reccomended in my book.

It was nice getting together with the grandparents. My parents, Chris, Jason and I were the only ones that could make it from our fam... typical. It's crazy how much has changed. Everyone (5 children of 8) is married and starting their own little family while the three youngest are left in the dust. Chris has already started at BYU and living there in Provo. I start school next Monday and will be leaving this Saturday early so I can get all moved in, purchase my books, and hopefully find a job. That means Jason is left-over. Poor guy. He has been working at a Ranch in Wallsburg, making some big bucks for the mission (Brasil). So he is gone basically all day. My dad is also always gone on trips or out saving people's lives.... so HE is always gone. That leaves the mother at home. If you catch her in the middle of the day, she's probably roaming around in her "housecoat" --NOT a muu muu. She get's pretty defensive about that. Let's see what the difference is... shall we?

Housecoat (noun)--a woman's garment, usually long and loose, used for informal use at home.

MuuMuu (noun)--a woman's brightly colored dress, esp. one traditionally worn in Hawaii

Okay, looking at the pictures, I would totally rather have a MuuMuu... how 'bout you?
