02/05/11 Temple, spin & superbowl

2/5/11
Holy Smokes this week flew by.  I swear there was something going all the time.
We of course went to G'ma and pa's last week.  B & L and Nick and Bree and Jared and the kids all came too.  Austin and Lyndsie didn't though.  We had a nice visit with a family home evening after dinner.
I had my biggest month ever at work last month.  We did over $50K in January and 325 tickets.  All time high in money and tickets filed.  No wonder my phone is ringing off the hook all day every day!
Wednesday we took the girls to the temple.  I had 4 members go do baptisms and 3 non-members go with me to the visitor center for a tour.  The girls said they had never been there before.  Surprised me since they are all from here.  I think they enjoyed the experience.  They have a cool game there where you point at a map as it tells you a temple name and guess where the temple is.  Then it tells you how far off you are (ESPN had a game like that for the colleges).  We played that for a little while.  Afterward we went to Village Inn for free pie Wednesday and everybody had a slice with some hot cocoa or ice cream.  It was cool.
Thursday I had my first camp meeting getting us all geared up for Girl's Camp.  I have to admit I'm kind of excited.  It will be really fun.  
Yesterday after work we had Girl Scouts and then I gave blood and then went to the Turner's for a girls night.  We played games and made popcorn and snowman (white chocolate dipped pretzels with candy on top decorated to look like a snowman) -- cute.
Today I did Julene's spin class (the new spin room is always 80 degrees (HOT!!)  so I got totally soaked!!)   Me and Dallas went to Rite Aid and got the medicine for his face and then we painted the fence white.  That poor fence is getting old and tired.  I am not sure how much better it looked even with a new layer of paint.  I did your taxes and started mine today.  Looks like you'll get some $ back if I've done it right.  I think I have one more # to add to yours before I'm done.  Whatever it is, I'll put it in your account when I get it.  I think it was around $200 give or take.
Tomorrow is the super bowl -- so we'll have G'ma and pa and E&D over.  Not sure if anyone else is coming.  We are having all the usual -- soda, lil smokies, peanut butter bars, chips and queso.  I dunno what else.  Lots of junk.  Pig out party.   Should be great after fast sunday and all!
I hope you are having a terriffic week.  All the other mission mama's are jealous at how much and how wonderful your letters are.  I keep hearing how mature you are and how detailed your letters are.  It is pretty cool, so keep up the good work!
How did Jofferson's baptism go?  I can't believe you already are getting to dunk someone! That is so cool!!! Give us lots of details about that!
How did transfers go?  Did you guys get to stay together?
Well we are BBQ'n and they are calling me telling me it's ready so I better go.  Love you lots!!!!  Hope you are still doing great.  Love you!!!! mom.

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...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
