10/13/24 Life is full...Sunday dinner, YW, Pickleball, Funeral

 Another week in the books - I really thought life would get slower once all the kids moved out but that is not the case! Staying busy and active and having fun and lots to do. 

It was conference weekend and since we were so busy Saturday there was a lot of watching to do on Sunday. Somehow I did it though. I got through all the sessions! I often try to think of what word(s)/theme I'm hearing. This time it was come back...repent...forgive. It was a really enjoyable conference. 

Sunday we had Randy and Kay, GPA, AJ, and us for dinner. E&D weren't back from conference yet. Made some chicken enchiladas with lime rice and they turned out yummy!

Monday night picked up some Domino's pizza and E&D were back. They came a little late due to running some errands but it was a nice visit after not seeing them for a couple of weeks. 

Holly was able to see the northern lights and sent us some cool pictures from Cedar City. 

Andy had another appointment with the foot dr this week and they cut the tendon in his pinkie toe. (His toe was lifting up and rubbing his shoes and making cuts in his skin). They also trimmed his nails and sanded his feet. They looked and felt the best they've looked in a LONG time!

Wednesday we went to Super Chix restaurant with B&L and GPA. They are kinda pricey but we had a coupon and shared so it wasn't horrible. We had a nice visit and enjoyed it!  

For YW we did volleyball and water balloons out at Middleton Park. We had a lot of fun and a pretty good turnout. (Lately EVERYONE has been busy with other activities and not coming to YW.)  It's still so hot here that the water balloons were a nice addition to the activity. 
Left cooler: Balloons didn't survive the night

Funny story though: The water balloons have been in the garage for a couple of years so I guess the little rubber bands lose their elasticity.  I filled up about 100 balloons the night before. It was really fast so I decided to wait and fill the other right before the activity. Good thing I did...EVERY SINGLE BALLOON in the first batch died!  The batch I did the night of faded fast but we were able to enjoy them before they all died too!  SO...note to self. Buy balloons, use balloons. Not good in storage!

Thursday we had a nice quiet evening. 

Friday we went to Jersey Mike's for a quick sandwich with GPA before Andy headed to football. I went to Linda's house and walked her around the park (she is recovering from her other hip surgery and we hung out. Sharlotte Barco came too and it was fun to walk and talk. 

Saturday morning was pickleball and Jack Telford's funeral.  It was 95 years old and we home taught him and his wife for a few years when we lived in the 9th ward. Love them. Also friends with his kids Scott and Linda Telford (they are closer to our age). It was really cool as he had military honors. 

It's fast Sunday and time to head to church!

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...
