09/24/07 Letter to Johnny on his mission

Hi Jonny!  

   How are things on the other side of the world?  It’s already tomorrow there too, huh.  That is so weird!  What season is it there now?  Is that screwed up too?  

  Things are about the same here.  Aj is working his tale off trying to pass all his classes and do football and work.  It’s good for him I guess…  He asked a girl to homecoming and we are anxiously awaiting a reply.  He says he’s ok if she says no because she was “Plan B.”  The girl he wanted to go with already had a date.  This will be his “first date” if she says yes.  Kind of scary to start SO BIG…I guess homecoming is an all day event now instead of just dinner and a dance…

 Dallas has been camping and we had MAJOR rain – so he got to come home early and soaked.  Yuck.  That doesn’t even sound fun at all.  

 Bryce is anxiously awaiting his first camp out.  He is trying to get first class before he turns 12…I think…he’s only got the camp out left I think is what he told me.   He is obsessed with his game boy game and getting his camp out done.  It’s all he can talk about.  

 Katie and Holly are doing dance and are as cute as ever.  They miss having you for Monday night pizza!  

 Andy and AJ are of course battling it out this week in fantasy football.  I think I heard AJ won…but Dallas Cowboys won so it didn’t seem like Andy was too upset…

Any way things are just as you left them here.  Hope things are great there.  We love you and miss you and are keeping you in our prayers.  Good luck and work hard!  

Love you lots. Aunt Shelly and the family.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...
