Dinner at the Sherwoods’ House
Sep 3rd, 2007 by Bethany
We were invited to the Sherwoods' house tonight for FHE/dinner and we really had a great time. The Sherwoods are a couple in our ward here in North Little Rock. They also had the Dewalls (another couple in our ward) over and we all got to chat and get to know each other a little better.
Their house is on a little lake or pond with fish and ducks and John Sherwood took Degen over to the shore several times and let him watch him feed the fish and look at the ducks. Degen loved that and may still be talking about it tomorrow. They grilled shish kabobs and corn on the cob for dinner and then we had watermelon and pie for dessert. Everything was super yummy. Someday we need to get a house with a porch and a big grill like that to entertain friends. It was an inspirationally entertaining evening with our new friends.
After dinner, they pulled out their PS2 and we all played Guitar Hero. It was my first time playing and I lost both times I tried, but I think I got better the second time and I'd like to play again. Guitar Hero is more fun than I expected! Colin plays the demo every time we go to Walmart (we don't have a game system at home, so he has to get in some gaming whenever he has a chance), so he was somewhat familiar with the game. I wish it had more songs I know and that the characters were portrayed in a more appropriate way, but I guess that's how rock concerts are. I've never actually been to one, unless you count Reba Mcintire at Stadium of Fire at BYU a few years ago, but that's country music and I didn't love that, either.
The Dewalls both work in the medical field and are now on the lookout for a good endocrinologist for Colin's weird diabetes. The Sherwoods own a couple of pet stores and now we know who to go to if we ever decide to get a pet. Maybe we should start out with a fish…
