07/15/86 Mardi (Tuesday) Educated by a different bunch of people, question life

I finally woke up at 12:45 -- wooh - late!  Today was kind of laid back and nice.  We went for another walk today.  We walked through the wheat field, smelled stuff, ate wild fruits, had an apple fight, lounged out in a cow field and headed back.  We got home around 6 p.m.

Jillian and I talked again in Decide's room for another hour or so.  He is very nice and I'm really shocked at how polite they are to the kind of life they live.

Jullian is 23 and has no home.  He just lives in empty homes with friends (squatter) and steals what he needs.  How can he do that and be such a kind and gentle polite person?

We te dinner around 9 until 10 then everybody packed up and we rode to the train station.  I am so upset. I really like them.  They are so different.  After our walk they were hot so they all stripped naked and went in the sprinkler.  Then they sat around drinking for awhile.  So weird!

I kissed them all good bye and they said they would surprise me sometime and drop by.  Probably won't see them for a month because in 10 days I leave for Holland for a week.  For the next 10 days I will be alone with Collette.  What will I don? I have finally gotten used to staying up until morning, sleeping until 2.  Walking 2 hours and eating really late dinners.  I like it.  Oh well.  In 2 days I will go to Paris and see that guy and his mom.  (At least I think that is what's doing!)  Je ne sais pas!

I'm a little confused about things after talking with Julien.  He made everything sound like it was supposed to be unstructured and free and you should give and receive pleasure because it was right.  He said if I couldn't explain why not than I didn't really believe - Maybe I'm not a good Mormon, maybe I'm a clone.

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired ...

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...

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a ...
