Letter to Jennifer Davis Mast

6/20/2011 letter to Jennifer Davis

Thanks for the letter.  Sounds as if you are enjoying your summer, lucky girl!  I am enjoying mine as well.  Just returned from girls camp and preparing for a pioneer trek next month.  The following month it is off to Girl Scout camp.  Aaaahhh, summer time!  Work is busy -- got a new computer system today. Tomorrow should be the first real challenge as we have a busy night of court on a new system.  Trying to take it all in stride!  So far, so good!
Dallas, my 2nd oldest son is working for the parks and rec department at Washington City and enjoying that.  He is also doing a summer class to get a little h.s. credit for his work.   He got his driver license this year which has been awesome -- no more carting kids to band at 7 a.m. and stuff!!!  Bryce just signed up for the coolest summer program I ever heard of.  It is ag credits for high school and he gets to go on field trips every week all over the state.  One is a 3 day field trip to Bryce Canyon and some other cool places...at no charge.  What?  Really!  Only a select few get to go.  Lucky kid.  His first trip is this week and he's going to Snow Canyon Anasazi Trail.
Katie and Holly are taking swim lessons every day and have advanced from level 2 to level 4 so far.  They will test again on Friday.  That will probably be their last lesson but it was 4 weeks worth.  (Holy smoke, really?)  This summer is flying fast!
Andy was hired as the editor of a brand new sports magazine and he is really working hard but enjoying the results.  The magazine looks great.  He also has a morning show and does evening games in the school year.  Between his job and mine we aren't seeing near enough of each other!
We are getting into the dog days of summer.  It's been a mild year so far but the 110+ is coming. Unfortunately!  Not so bad when you are pool side but not too good when you are not!
Take care of yourself and family. It's fun to watch the kids grow up and get jobs and be responsible, eh!?
Talk soon!  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...
