10/18/2004 LETTER TO BECKY

This weekend Andy was gone all weekend doing games and so I got busy. I went through AJ’s room –aaaggghh! And sorted through all the hand me down buckets we had. I’ve bought several containers to make them “save” better. I sorted everything by size 10, 12, 16’s etc. and season. Then I went to Target and bought him an upright cabinet closet for his current clothes. I went through his 2 dressers and kept only the nice stuff in his current dresser and ditched the worn clothing and stored the stuff that’s too small. What a project. His room looks wonderful. He came home and was in awe. He’s like, what do I owe you? Do you want me to do something for you??? I was like…well… you better keep this room clean!!!!!! He also helped me to stow all the buckets of clothing – I had run out of steam and not quite finished putting things away.

I had done this to the girls room about 2 weeks ago. So I feel like I have a little bit better control over the out of control clothing situation!!!! Course now it’s time to sort out all the summer clothes and get out all the winter stuff…maybe next week…

I also had a disease going through our back lawn so me and Dallas took out a shovel and a rake and pulled up all the weeds so that we can hopefully replant grass tonight. I think we have it ready. It took HOURS. I have been working on that project as I could for several weeks and then me and Dallas hit it hard Saturday morning and late evening until we got DONE. He got $5 for his efforts so we went to DI and found him a crane and got some batteries. He still has $3 left to spend.

Amongst all that I got the laundry all done and fed the kids. No wonder I like working…it’s too much work to be at home!!!!

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 ...
