05/11/15 End of an era...Elementary school wrapping up!

05/11/2015

It was sure fun to see you last night!!! You look so good! We really enjoyed "hanging" with you!!!

I especially feel special for our private phone call. It was nice to have a little time alone with you! I hope you are doing better!!!

I talked to Marlee's mom yesterday and she was pretty cute...she answered the phone...H.e.l.l.o.? (The caller-id came up you and it kinda baffled her ... like...how is this happening?!) Haha. She was touched that you would remember her on mother's day. She said Marlee is doing good and talked about her papers probably being submitted this week so hopefully we'll know in 2-3 weeks when/where Marlee is going. Wouldn't it be crazy if you got your wish (well, kind of your wish) and she got called to your mission!? (Like the Turner and her boyfriend called to TN same mission. Then splitting them up into two neighboring missions and the missions getting combined so they are in the same mission again.

That was crazy. They got married right away after they both completed.) Haha. Silly thought! Anyway I'm excited to hear where she will go. $1196.37 is the total in your account. You have $491 in savings and $704 in checking.

Gma and pa felt really special that you would include them on the phone call. I guess Laura always specifically didn't include them - wanted it to just be her and her kids and that made them kinda sad.

This morning is giving me a headache...Dallas pulled my stereo out of the car (it quit working) so when we got in

the car to go to church the van was dead. Seems like a battery or something. Not sure what happened. We were in a hurry so we just jumped in the car. And forgot about it. So when I was ready to go to work today...it didn't work of course. Borrowed Aj's car. Got about 1 mile down the road...he calls...his sneakers are in the car, can I come back. Finally get to work and they've switched the program servers so no one in the building can get into the court program. Spend a while getting that figured out. Sigh! What a morning! Haha, oh well. It's already 10 a.m. so at least time is flying! Oh yeah and I had given a report to a lady that only had 1 day instead of 1 month on it and she spent hours trying to make it work before she realized. Geesh! My first customer was so sweet though and promised me the rest of my day would be great!! Gotta love it when you get good carma/vibes from others!!!

Hope everything's going well and you are settling in and loving your new area. Can't wait to hear all about it! Love you!!!

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...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class. We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!! Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
