06/11/11 Swim lessons & girls camp

6/11/11
Katie's dance group
I hope you are happy and well.  I had a bad night of sleeping last night worrying about you.  Not sure why 'cause that is totally not normal for me to worry. So I hope I just ate something that messed with my dreams and that I wasn't "feeling your pain!"  I wanted to get up this morning and write your mission mama and make sure everything was ok...but I did't.  So, are you good?
The heat has started to really hit here.  I think we were around 95.  So strange to come inside and 78 degrees feels almost cold!  I had to go look at the thermostat cause I was sure it was colder than that.
The girls just finished 2 weeks of swim lessons and advanced to a level 4 (whatever that means?!).  They enjoyed it so much I signed them up for another session.  They go every day for 2 more weeks for 1/2 hour.  They are learning to swim properly (breathing) and I think they may even learn how to dive. Not sure.  They are in class together.  They have been becoming more independent and ride their bikes up to the rec center some days and then come home together too.  It is so nice.  It has helped them to have a little routine in their life.  It is hard to stay structured in the summer but we don't want them watching TV and vegging all day long!

I don't think I ever told you...Katie made student council next year.  She got to read the announcements the last week of school.  She was pretty excited. She will get to wear a fancy vest and go to meetings and stuff.  I'm sure she'll love it.
Girls camp is this week.  Everything seems to be coming together.  I think we will have 11 girls total...maybe.  3 w/the stake so 8 that I'm responsible for.  Maybe only 7.  I still don't know that we'll know what we are getting 'till they show up.  So strange!  We have planned lots of fun things for the girls and the weather is supposed to be perfect.  75 by day, 45 by night.  No rain anticipated.  Weather forcast said 0 percent.  Can't beat that!
Took the girls to JC Penny today and bought some school close.  It was cheaper than shopping the D.I.  Found pants for $4.99 and shirts for 2.99 - 4.99.  Then I had a coupon for $10 off when you spend $25.  I was able to use it 2X.  We ended up getting 5 pants, 6 shirts and 2 Sunday shirts for the boys for about $55. Sweet, huh?!

Dad and the boys have been at the Dixie Rebels Football game and just got home.  The girls stayed home and I washed and braided their hair and we went through all their clothes and pulled out all the winter stuff and put out the summer stuff.
Grandma and pa Griffin went to SLC today and saw the tiny twins and gave them a blessing.  They are struggling but doing well for their early arrival.

Well Iove you lots.  Take care of yourself!  love 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.
