10/20/24 Ghastly! haha...and FaceTime with Mo

Me, Olivia Jones, and Mia Wilcox
 It's weird how time is...seems to be fast then slow. Or go slow and pass quickly. It's hard to explain. But this week it felt like a regular week, kind of that wasn't too action packed!  

Kisses from mo to pops 
and back!
Sunday we had E&D, AJ, GPA and us for dinner. Perfect for our table of 6.  It's hard when we get more cause then somebody's on the folding chairs or at the bar stools. E&D are heading out on a 10 day excursion with Elderhostel so we won't see them for the next Mon, Sun, Mon while they go touring So. Utah. 

We just had AJ, GPA and us for dinner - so a little gathering -- at Slice House in the Zion Stip Mall. Quick and uneventful. Aj's been kind of bummed lately so he wasn't real talkative and didn't stay long. He has been going to tons of YSA activities -- so that's good!  

Monday was Columbus Day and I had off but Dad had to work. Usually I would be all over that with projects - but I was kind of bleh. I did walk my 3 miles then come home and take a long hot bath. Then I rearranged and cleaned up the back porch. And took a outside nap. Then I did dishes and cleaned the kitchen and took a nap. I guess every once in awhile life catches up with me!

Tuesday we also just did the usual work and then hang out. 

Wednesday was a busy day. Dad had football games (fall break they do them early in the week). So he was busy until almost midnight. (too much for a work week day!) He and AJ broadcast together so that's fun and cool but getting home so late is rough when you have to start at 5 a.m. all over again. 

Peekaboo blocks

I had YW and we took the girls (and boys) up to the gardens. They are decorated for Halloween so I really enjoyed it!  We broke up into little groups (so my pictures mostly have the same 4 of us in them) and then met at the end. We were scavenger hunting for a list of halloween things (ghost, pumpkin, etc). Cute and fun and easy activity. Highly recommend!

Thursday and Friday were quiet again with not much going on. Friday I came home with a migraine (I don't get headaches, or migraines, so this was a weird development.)  It was a total bummer too because Dad had off and I couldn't bring myself to do anything but sleep or sit on the couch. Tylenol helped a bit but ended up doing nothing. Dad brought me back and Ike's Sandwich (he had to go into work and it was by Fabulous Freddy. But I was rather non-functional.  (I did have a chiropractor adjustment on Thursday and I read that toxins can release and cause this. I think that may have been it as I was suffering from a shoulder that was very painful and out of place and he knocked it back into place ... or something?! )  

Saturday, thank goodness...I'm BACK!  Pickleball, mopping, cleaning pool, playing in pool, enjoying outdoor, laundry...I felt good and myself again. 

Gettin ready for another Sunday with early meetings (Stephanie Wilcox was out of town...so ward council) and family dinner.

Funny story...during church today just Theo came back. He was happy to eat his famous amos cookies and have me read him stories. Then he got out stickers. He was really enjoying it.  And starting really dancing...(the pee pee dance...you know that one, right?)  I leaned over several times and asked if he needed to go potty. Nothing.  So he was REALLY dancing...and I was like THEO, we gotta take care of this. I got up and grabbed his hand and walked him back to his mom and told her about the dancing. She took him potty and came back and was like THANK YOU!!!! He REALLY needed to go! Know your dance moves! Emergency averted!

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...
