05/06/11 Do you think I'll be as mean as you?

5/6/11

I just had a minute and was thinking of you so I thought I'd write.  


K, so funny story.  I got a message on my machine at work from a woman in California (I think).  The message is 3.38 minutes long and the whole time she is singing...Did you ever know that you're my hero.  Weird? I ran her phone # through my data base and can't find the # so I have NO idea who it is.  And I think she was drunk...but whatever.  It's pretty funny.  


So this week at YW we had 10 girls.  Can you believe it?!  They kept coming in and I was SO happy!  We were sewing our aprons and bonnets and I guess they all want them because that has been my best attended activities lately (this is the 3rd time we've done it).  We got another 12 year old girl that approached me and asked if she could be in YW.  Another non-member that lives in our ward boundaries. She is really cute and seems to need all the love and attention she can get.  She is going to come to camp and is so excited.  She says she goes to another church on Sunday's and I asked her if she'd at least come to ours half the time.  She said she'd think about it.  


Next week for YW we are going to the community center to take a class called "Hot Hula".  Doesn't that sound totally cool?  I'm excited.  So were several of the girls.  Others were a little less enthusiastic and said they'd come watch.  Supposed to be the next best thing to ZUMBA (which I also LOVE).  


We have a busy weekend coming up again.  Today we have girl scouts and then Katie is dancing at a luau again.  Tomorrow the IRON MAN is in town and if I'm ambitious I'll go do spin in the morning and then take the girls to the pancake breakfast and cheer on the bikers.  We've done that a couple years now and it's kinda fun.  The girls both have soccer games tomorrow.  It seems like Katie dances again at least once if not twice on Saturday too.  Can't remember.  Sunday we get to talk to you!!!! We have skype all set up and are waiting for our camera to come in the mail.  Found one for like $7 w/shipping.  (Locally they were $15-20 minimum)  If it doesn't arrive by Saturday as promised we can always come up to my work.  I have a camera on my MAC.  


Tickets keep coming in like crazy but somehow we had a totally mellow week this week.  Got done with court shortly after 6:30 p.m.  I can't even remember the last time that happened.  I am sure it is only a fluke and we'll be back to long busy courts as we entered over 60 tickets on Monday and there is a pile of at least 25 on my desk to still go in the computer.  (Back in the day we used to get 150-200 tickets per month).  


I saw your friend this week...Dallyn Hallows.  Cute girl.  She said she wrote you a time or two (I can't remember) but hadn't heard from you in awhile.  She is pretty funny.  She came up to pay her speeding ticket and had on this shirt about drowsy driving is stupid driving or something along those lines.  I started laughing at her...I'm like -- that's a great shirt for a girl who's getting ANOTHER speeding ticket!!!  She's like, I know, right?!  She said she is doing some type of smart driving campaign for school.  I told her I wanted her to get me a picture of her with her campaign shirt on and her speeding tickets in each hand.  So I could send it to you.  She said maybe.  We'll see.  She graduates the end of this month.


Sister Buatte said you got sick last week because you ate too many mangoes...and they give you the runs.  (I kinda doubt it, but funny thought).  


Holly came home from school Wed night and just laid on the couch and wasn't her bubbly self.  Her cheeks were rosy and she was just kinda lougy.  I took her temp...102.  I'm like, do you feel sick?  She says, no.  I gave her a bucket and made her stay home (Bryce's band concert was Wednesday) -- which made Katie really happy cause she got to stay home and so did Dallas.  Next morning I give her the thermometer and she's 98.1.   So strange.  She never really got sick and she didn't even seem to know she was sick...and then she's better.  NICE.  Wish we could all get sick like that.  Was like 4 hours or something, ya know?!


Well I talked to Sis. C.  Her birthday is May 7 (so both your momma's birthday's are in the same week...easy to remember!)  I wished her a happy birthday and asked about your box.  She says she still hasn't seen it.  Did you say you got Grandma's most recent package?  Thanks for my birthday letter and turtle. They arrived Wednesday.  You've done so good...everything you've sent has arrived prior to the date you meant it for!!! Impressive.  She said you'd been transferred but she wouldn't tell me where.  Said she'd let you fill us in.  She also said you lost 10 lbs.  Too much rice, eh?!  She said she enjoyed her visit with you.


So did I tell you what Katie said to me last week?  We were out pulling weed, much to her dismay.  She looks up at me and sweetly asks, "Mom, when I grow up do you think I'll be as mean as you are?" HA.  Gotta love that girl.

Well I can't wait to talk to you and see you!  Love you.  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 ...
