06/12/2022 Hot week!

It was good to talk to you last week and know that you arrived safely. I think I was a little stressed about it but didn't realized until I heard from you and I got less stressed!

Dad seems to finally have fought off his most recent infection and is doing well and seems to be improving. Yeah!!!! Hopefully he can keep it up!

At work we interviewed and hired a new gal for the prosecution. I really like her and have heard great things about her and am excited to have her move over to our staff! She has a better job at her current employment but it is harder and she has a young family so I think she will really like this change.

Dad spent the week getting ready for the cash/cruise get away for work. The party was Saturday morning. We had pizza and donuts and soda. It was SO HOT! Like 106. Oy! We were VERY toasty! This cute lil old 86 year old lady won and she was adorable. She is a widow so she will likely take her kids with her if she gets to use it.

We had Mindy and Darrin (the lady that took my job in the court) over for dinner and it was fun. Dad smoked meat (of course!!) and we had some yummy sides. It was a nice meal and they are a super cool couple.

Bryce and Marlee came to town and hung out with us -- swam and went to the HOT party. Marlee had a reception for a HS friend so they went to that Saturday. Holly, Erik, Bryce, Marlee, Gpa, Eldon, Diane and me and dad had Sunday dinner together.

We have some new leaders for YW/YM activities and they are doing a really good job. They did pudding pictionary and then showed a little movie What hatchet covers are keeping you from reaching your full potential? -- found on LDS website. HIGHLY recommend! It was an excellent activity.

Anywho...I just got distracted for 1/2 hour with YW stuff!

Hope you are having a great time! Love you! Love you!❤

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...
