Kingman Restaurant Review: Mattina's Ristorante

Image
 Billed as the best Italian cuisine in the Tri-State area and it may very well be.  Serving pasta in very large bowls, the pasta has something special with a taste to delight the palette.  Also has a very nice ambience.  Reservations are recommended.  Could be a bit pricey with some dishes in the $30 range.

Tony is graduating from Lee Williams High School Tuesday 5/20/2025

Tony has finally gotten to where he is ready to graduate from high school.  He has attended Lee Williams High School all four years.  All of his papers are turned in and all that is left is his senior trip to southern California, Disneyland etc.  And then rehearsal and graduation on Tuesday of next week, May 20.  Hooray!  As of now Tony has no definite plans beyond moving with us to Omaha which is happening next month.  He did tennis 2 1/2 years and volleyball two years.  He took two years of Spanish.  

Volleyball Party: End of Season

Image
 Last night we went to Tony's volleyball party.  We were at a house north of town (same as last year) which has lots to do outside.  The boys all went outside to play volley ball or basketball or football.  we hardly saw them so coach didn't have a chance to say something about the boys when the got their certificates.  She just handed them out to the parents.  They had a very good time however and we had potluck.  Sheri took what she calls Angie's salad which Angie Norman use to often make for family gatherings in Tracy.  Sheri and I had a good talk with coach.  She said Tony always seemed to be very positive, even when they lost most of their games.  He was the only returning senior.  Consequently he had a leadership role and was co-captain.

Jurassic Quest in South Bend

 While in Elkhart I took the boys to the Jurassic Quest interavtive activity.  It was pretty fun with photo opportunities, dinosaur races and lassoing.  It was fun.  At the same time I was listening to church via zoom.  I think  Caleb was called to the bishopric.

With Charity and Family to Mormon Trail Center at Winter Quarters Visitor Center.

Image
 One of our favorite stops in Omaha is the Mormon Trail Visitor Center where we can try out the handcarts both inside and outside.  It is a fun place.  I was disappointed to learn that someone had stolen many of the bronze plaques to melt them down for money.  Such a loss and waste.  We walked through the cemetery.  The temple is next to the cemetery.
