06/19/22 Just a regular week

Another week has quickly passed. Hopefully it's been a good one for you!

We had a fun youth activity last week. They played pudding pictionary. Kind of cool, kind of disgusting!!! They gave them church words and they competed to draw the picture and get their team to guess it. Afterward they played a video.

Monday we had dinner with Gpa and Eldon and Diane. We got papa John's and brought it back to Gpa's house.

Tuesday dad got checked up again by the vein dr and given the all clear. He still has to get some kind of machine for his leg to help with the lymphodema. Bleh. I guess it's nice that a machine can do it. When my mom had that she had to have ladies come over and massage her arm 3X a week.

Relief Society was Tuesday evening and we made emergency kits to put in the car. Kinda like in a pickle pack on steroids. Got to hang out with some fun ladies and eat treats.

Dad and I got covid booster shot on Tuesday and by Wednesday I had a 101 fever and just felt kinda blah for about 2 days afterward. It was lake day for YW though so I took some tylenol and just kept going. I wasn't gonna miss that! haha.

We had a nice time at the lake -- they had about 7 kayaks and some tubes along with hot dogs and watermelon. Nothing amazing food wise but lots of fun.

Thursday evening we went to Rib and Chop with dad's friend Ike and his wife. They treated us because Dad got him some account that was going to give him lots of commissions.

I finished up with my health coach. I lost maybe 6 pounds in 6 months. So slow. But she taught me some good strategies and hopefully I can keep trying and lose a little bit more weight.

Holly was supposed to come down Saturday but she didn't feel well so she stayed home. Neal and Cheryl came for dinner tho along with Gpa and we had a really nice time. Neal was in a wheel chair and is starting to say some things that don't make sense but overall it was good to have them.

Today everyone was somewhere else. Gpa to Lauras. All the kids were at home. So we had Randy and Kay over and had a nice dinner just the four of us.

We thought we might get to hear from you today but it's getting late so we're thinking not.

Hope your day was great!

Tell me about your week! How's the food? How's the weather? Are you getting the language? How much money do they give you and how often? Are you finding it is enough? Were you ever able to get the tag off your coat? Can't wait to hear from you!

We love you lots!

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...
