06/13/12 GS Camp & St. Geo Hydrotube

6/13/12

Hi Kiddo!


It's Sunday afternoon and I'm in my usual spot writing to you! Hope you are doing great! The heat of summer has arrived and I feel pretty lucky to be in my a/c bedroom right now!

It has been a busy but good week  Kerry, our treasurer has been in Hawaii...lucky ducky...so I had the pleasure of doing my job and his this week.  Kept me pretty occupied and made time FLY!  It went pretty well.  Couple of little problems but nothing too horrible!

Wednesday we took the YM/YW to quail lake for a boating trip.  Really fun.  It was more like a YW trip...and then a YM trip because the boys came so late that we mostly just ate and left -- but it was really fun and the kids are begging for another boating trip.  Brother and Sister Olsen have said they'd love to do it again so maybe we will!

Dallas is getting over his tonsils.  It's been a pretty long week for him I think.  I believe it hurt a little more than he expected.  But he is on the good side of it now.  Should get better and better.  He starts DXATC tomorrow.  Hope he likes it.

The girls go to GS camp this week so that should be fun.  I dunno what is going to happen at work because I plan to go with the girls but EVERYBODY that is involved with court is gone this week.  The judge is fishing up the canyon somewhere, judge Carr will come instead on Tuesday. Kathy is in Alaska for 10 days and then I plan to take off Wed, Thur and Fri.  I may have to to in before we leave Wed and come back once we get home Friday.  3 days of leaving my work unattended might be too scary to return to on the following Monday.

Dee got married yesterday.  We were thinking about going over there but didn't make it.  We did however see Benjamin Squires get baptized last night and that was cool.  he is pretty cute.  Those boys are all very good looking but kinda naughty!  My favorite is #3, Mitchell-Moose...but he is probably the most naughty!  He is just so dang cute.  i took them swimming once so now every time I see them they ask when I will take them swimming again.  Pretty funny.

Mom and Dad are up in SL today headed home from Luke's baby blessing (Johnny's baby).  They are planning to bring Eldon and Diane home with them.  We are going to go up and meet them with dinner at 6 p.m.  Should be fun.  I made bbq pulled pork, funeral potatoes, rolls, salad and I'll open a can of beans. Should be good. 

Well I hope you are doing wonderful and are happy.  I continue to receive notes from friends that love to read your blog and are so impressed with your dedication to the gospel.  I have a neighbor from NJ that just wrote me again this week to say that I should be very proud of the fine young man you are.  It is so hard to find young people that would dedicate their lives to the Lord.  And it is true.  You are sacrificing so much but you are also going to be blessed so much for your efforts.  Thank you for being that good example to all of us.  You will never know all the people you have influenced for good. 

Love you so much!


Mom

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!

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...
