05/01/11 Sunday lesson, Luau & soccer games

5/1/11
Pretty good and fast week again.  Let's see...where to start.  So this a.m. I was getting on before church to write to you and had a message in my in box.  So I looked at it was the calendar for May.  On May 1 it said, Lesson #15 Griffin. I was like...WHAT?  So I went to the closet to find the mistake (I was sure it was a mistake) and um...nope, it wasn't.  So I had to give a lesson with little or no prep.  I hadn't even read the lesson once yet.  (I usually read it way in advance to start thinking about things, ya know?) Totally NOT my thing.  Luckily for me I had already gotten lunch ready and was dressed and the girls were ready.  So I printed out the lesson and winged it.  It went ok I guess.  It's hard to judge yourself...so I'm not really sure but I survived anyway.   Ugh. We talked about missionary work and how there was a great amount to do even right here in our ward.  I tried to encourage them to work with all our nonmember girls and to be good examples etc.
Katie's LUAU was fun last night.  They put on a pretty good meal and then did about 1 hour of dancing.  They were really pretty good.  Lot of booty shaking.  The guys got up and did the hauka and some other loud chest pounding dances.  Entertaining.
The girls had 2 soccer games this week and they both love playing goalie.  They are pretty good at it too.  I think they won 3 out of 4 games.  They don't really care as long as there is a treat at the end.
Today we have a meeting with Stake Pres at 4 and then I have meetings at 4:30 and 5-6 for YW so we don't get to go to New Harmony.  Lucky for us though they have been gone for 10 days and have no food in the house so they were happy to come down here and eat with us.  So we'll eat around 6 tonight.  I made chicken, funeral potatoes, rolls, banana cream cheese pie and cookies.  Probably serve some beans too and maybe a salad for me and the old folks.  Lucky for everyone I found the whole lesson thing AFTER making all that or dinner would probably be lame tonight!
I got to do my treasurer duty 2X this week.  The deposits were $75,000 and $45,000.  WOW, huh?!  A lot of it isn't cash but still strange to know you have that much $ in your possession!
Well I hope you are healthy and well.  Love hearing all about your experiences and what's going on there so be sure to think about all the crazy and wonderful things that happended this week and share!!!
Love you lots and can't wait to see and hear you next week!!!! Holy smoke...it's only 1 week away!!!!
Take care, Mom.

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 ...
