09/15/24 Gravestone is ready

It's been a fun, busy week.

Monday we did our usual Monday Night Pizza - with Eldon&Diane, Grandpa and us over at Pizza Limone. Always yummy.

Tuesday Dad and I went to a sleep doctor appointment. I have been diagnosed with mild apnea while, as we know, he has severe. He's trying to get another CPap machine since his is probably 15 years old or so. He's just starting the process. I'm at the end. (This was probably my last appointment with them.)

They said because I am mild I have a couple of choices. 1. Sleep on my side. Always. (get a pillow or something that doesn't allow me to sleep on my back - which is where I have problems.) 2. A mouth guard - somehow opens your mouth and doesn't allow you to snore. 3. Lose 10% of my body weight. And finally - do nothing - but may continue to have some ill effects of sleep apnea.

So...we'll see! Dad has a sleep test next Friday night where he has to NOT use his CPAP all night. Oy. I might have to sleep in another room! haha

Tuesday night was my work employee appreciation night - I was in charge of putting it together. We had about 175 employees with family members total come. We had two theaters ready for them with soda and popcorn. It seemed like it was a very successful evening. We watched Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.

Tuesday and Wednesday I covered the court office while they were at BCI training. Needless to say, super busy couple of days as I did Melissa & Ahyria's job and mine too.

Wednesday night Ben and Laura invited us to their stake BBQ at Sand Hollow. We had Hamburgers and Hot Dogs and pot luck - lots of food...lots of people! Nick and his boys were there. After dinner Jack Jack and I played in the pool - we went down the slide and splashed around for about 1/2 an hour. It was fun!

Friday morning the pool cover guys came and replaced my cover and man does it look SO much better!

Friday night we went and visited our newly finished headstone at the home show. Kinda funny!

Saturday we played pickleball and then spent HOURS taking apart the pool cover housing to clean it out. Apparently it was full of so much mud and yuck. Like so nasty. It took a long time to just get the cover off since the screws were stripped. Sigh. But at the end of the day...like 5 p.m. it was finally all cleaned out and put back together. We swam and went to Culver's (had a gift card from my birthday that we finally used!) and then did my Saturday chores while dad watched BYU.

All in all a pretty great productive week!

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...
