10/11/2005 Letter to Becky

Things are crazy as usual.

Yesterday I had off – Columbus Day – had a nice day. I did some laundry and house stuff but nothing too serious! Mostly just hung out with Andy and the girls and had a nice day.

Andy and I had a nice Anniversary get-away last Wednesday. Andy’s parents came and watched the kids from 1 p.m. – 9 p.m. and we went to Mesquite and got a room and had a buffet and went swimming and then went home. Would have been nice to stay over night but it is TOO much hassle at this stage.

Webelos Day Camp, Dallas Griffin middle

Saturday was Webelos Day camp. It was pretty cool. They had 6 stations where they did requirements. They had a science rotation, made catapults, did art work, learned how to use a knife and build a fire, rope tying and compass use. They had a catered lunch that was awesome – shredded beef sandwiches, dutch oven potatoes, salad and peach cobbler.

Sunday I substituted for Nursery. The kids were all very good. Only had 1 escape and 1 poopie diaper.

This week there is R.S. dinner tonight, AJ has a football game in Cedar City tomorrow – me and the kids will go to Grandma’s all afternoon and help them paint their fence. Thursday is scouts – we are going to the dino Museum and Andy works Thursday night doing a game and then it’s weekend again!

I am sitting in on interviews for our new police department staff all morning tomorrow.

On and on it goes!

Oh yea and we have/had mice…eeeeek! We caught 4 last week. We found a hole in the wall that they were coming in through that hopefully closing off will eliminate any future mice. I had the pleasure of seeing 2 of them running across my floor. I squealed both times. I HATE MICE!!!! Almost makes me wish I had a cat…NOT!

I am walking MWF with our neighbor that has twins that are 1. We go from 6:10 to 6:50 – after I take AJ to school and before her husband leaves for work – no kids. It is nice. I just hope that as it gets colder we don’t both wus out. I don’t like the cold weather and she can’t go any later…We’ve been doing about 2 miles at a time – I think…I have to measure our route for sure.

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 ...
