11/24/09 Dance, college, morning show, computer crash

11/24/2009 letter to Becky

Things are also busy but good here. Holly danced at the festival of trees last night (so cute!!). I don't know if the pix came out but if they did I'll email you one.

She will have a recital here in a week or two. Katie will also have a piano recital. The boys just finished their Eagle Scout projects last month and Dallas is totally done, Bryce can't be done until February ish.

Aj's got a load of school going on -- he's carrying 17 credits, writing for the school paper, Service Club President, going to a student ward (how weird is that?!?) and working for the parks department and the radio station. He was made Elder a week or two ago. Don't see much of him. Only know he is around cause he leaves his shoes out...which dRIVEs me CRaZy!! (I usually return them to his pillow for him...fun games we play with each other, huh!?)

Andy is doing his morning show from 7-8 a.m. everyday. So he is not so much a night owl as he used to be. He says he really likes it. He has to get up and leave the house by about 6:15 a.m.

I'm doing same old stuff with court being busy busy busy. My computer crashed last week and I am now on a MAC. I've been resisting but management made me go this way. It's not so bad. Just different. Like learning stuff all over again. I'm sure I'll be quick at it soon. Already things are starting to come together for me.

We would love to see you. I could probably take off that day. I think it'll be the kids last day of school so they'll be out by 1:15. The pool will be open. We could even do a birthday cake for Holly and Katie. They would love that!!!

Well I'll be in court until who knows what hour so I won't be calling you tonight. But one day soon!!! Take care, love you lots! Shelly

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...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....

11/03/24 How is it November already?

Yesterday is the first day I've felt good in a long time! Seriously! I hope whatever is going on has finally left me. We did our day backwards. Dad slept in and we skipped pickleball. When he got up he had breakfast and then carved a pumpkin which I processed. It took 2 hours! (I had done one Friday night, same...2 hours!!!) So we have 17 bags of "2 cups" of pumpkin in the freezer. We have 2 more pumpkins but we both feel like we are DONE with the pumpkin thing!! haha While he was working on that I made pumpkin pie and chocolate pie (from scratch...like no pudding!!!). They both look yummy. We'll know at dinner tonight! We've been having the most beautiful sunrises. While I was doing my weight lifting I had to stop and go take a picture -- it was glowing red through the windows!!! We had a quiet Saturday - I did some laundry and yard work -- trimmed up some trees and picked up debris (no more mowing for me!) At 6 p.m...
