08/20/86 Mercredi (Tuesday) Farm work and water fight

Day 59
Today went so quickly that if I would have blinked I would have missed it.

We went to the farm and there were a bunch of Francois friends there. A couple were from Quebec and spoke English.

Before lunch Tonya and I fed all the animals and gathered the eggs and then got a bucket of potatoes.

The guys came by riding their little race car and on the way back I jumped on for a short ride.

After lunch we all went together in the car to pick a bad full of potatoes.

We drove through the dirt roads really crazy then had potato fights and dirt fights.  I was so dirty that when you touched me anywhere dirt and dust flew.  Then we had a massive water fight. I started it. I threw a glass of water at Francois and I ended up wet from head to toe- dripping wet!  After I changed my shirt we went out and I hot a gun.  I shot only 3X.  I did ok, not great.

We had 12 people for dinner tonight.

At 11:30 we walked down to a disco in town.  It was cool.  In the street and along the sidewalks people were dancing and talking. We stayed up talking until 2:30.

Everybody didn't leave until 1.  I am exhausted.  And freezing.  I haven't been warm since I was soaking wet.  I probably will leave here on Friday or Saturday.

Bon Nuit

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a c

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the
