05/06/17 Delivering breakfast

This morning the bishop texted me to tell me he had some leftover's from Father's and Son's outing that he'd like me to distribute to ward members.  He specifically asked for one and then said to find others to deliver the rest to.

I went to the first home he had requested to find her not there.  I left the non-perishable items and texted her to find out if she'd be around to receive the others.  She said she would not.

I then went to the Ivie's home -- Tammy was asleep but her husband and two boys were so excited to receive chocolate milk and eggs and orange juice.  You would have thought it was Christmas time!  It was fun to see their happy faces.  They told me about scouting and their Sunday teacher.  They were super cute and happy!

I think tried to deliver some to Sister Babbitt...She had a gate and a note that said do not disturb.  I called Bishop and he said it was ok to disturb...I tried to call, knock, ring the bell...nothing.  I really think someone was there but I had NO luck!  Bishop said not to leave anything since it would go bad if they weren't around. Bummer!

I then went to Nay's house -- their kids were leaning out the bedroom window and also excited about getting breakfast goodies!

I headed to Jen Field's house --and had a really nice visit with her.  I stayed about 1/2 hour and she seemed to really love every minute of it. She showed me her rock collection and talked about the death's they've had this year and extended family problems.  The ward has been trying to activate the family -- the kids have started getting involved in scouts a little.  She invited me to come back another time and "play" with her.  It was a fun visit!

I really enjoy taking unexpected goodies to others.

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...
