06/04/02 Gossip Column

This was my attempt at making fun at my job.  My gossip column.  I only did it once because I was afraid people would recognize themselves and I'd get in trouble!  

 Justice?!
    The month started out quite exciting with a trial on September 3,  State of Utah vs. B. P.  B. was charged with speeding on Telegraph road (which he DID NOT DO!!! He is a respected, retired Grandpa, he doesn't HAVE TO BE ANYWHERE in a hurry!!!).  He spent 40 minutes slandering Officer Kiwi’s good name before he was found guilty.  
    He even was successful in ruffling the feathers of our substitute prosecutor who told the defendant he didn’t feel bad about “wasting” his time as it was HIS fault we were all here in the first place.  If he would obey the speed limit and /or pay his violations once caught we could have avoided this whole fiasco.  The prosecutor later apologized to the judge for losing his cool.  
    B.P. was not sentenced as he was going to file an appeal.  (You call this justice???)  His 30 days has run and no appeal has been filed.  He will be summoned back to court this month for a sentencing date.
   
The mayor's wayward nephew NC plead not guilty to Disorderly Conduct and the case was dismissed.  Hmmm...  That isn't the first time that's happened.  He did however get into a little fender bender later in the month.  He came in and plead not guilty to that also.  I'll let you know how that turns out in January.
   

We had a lesbian couple come in on a domestic assault.  Poor “Lara” was called HE by the judge for the entire preceding.  Finally I pointed out to him that HE was a SHE.  Talk about 3 shades of red...  Lara was ok with it though, I think she's the man in her domestic relationship.

   
I'm learning that age doesn't change your desire for the good things of life.  A 61 year old female was convicted of committing theft and charged $555 fine.  She stole...CD's.  
   
SS came in for a trial on her dog at large.  Of course she blamed it on Marilyn Wallis - their dogs look similar so it must have been Marilyn's dog that was out.  She was found NOT GUILTY as their was some question as to if it was really her dog.  Poor Sherman.  
   
RP was charged with criminal mischief after he beat a van’s windows in with a baseball bat.  He was charged $300 and ordered to write a note of apology to the victim.  The $300 was paid and the most sarcastic note came back stating that the victim was his best friend and that the victim and R should go out to dinner sometime, the victim could pay.  Poor R had to get summonsed into court and explain what he was thinking when he wrote that note.  R came in with his tail between is legs and wiped his brow clean when no further jail time was ordered.
   
And finally, I could go on, but...If you want a good sentence, 95 pounds, blond and pretty doesn’t hurt.  The judge came up with a diversion agreement Tuesday after willowy JP plead guilty to driving on a suspended driver license.  By entering the diversion agreement the driver license will not have to know she drove on a suspended dl which would suspend her license 2 months further.  In addition she will only have to pay $100 of a $300 fine.  And poor fat ugly brown haired C.B., she got no diversion agreement and a $300 fine for the same charge of driving on suspended dl.  Humph. I’ll have to lose some weight and color my hair before I go before the judge.

Well that wraps up this months gossip column.

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!  

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )
