10/30/2010 LETTER TO AJ ON HIS MISSION

Not sure when your p-day is going to be so I thought I better send you a little something in your in-box.

Hope you are loving it and doing great. We are anxious to hear from you and hope to hear great things!

Today has been a busy Saturday. The morning started early scrubbing the kitchen floor and cleaning out the remainder of your bedroom. I think we have gone through just about everything now and got your things neatly tucked away in the closet. The border around your bedroom was pretty solidly stuck to the wall. I tried and tried to remove it with no luck and then gave up and went to Nisson's and bought a product that helps remove borders. It worked like magic. The stuff just falls off after 15 minutes with this goop on it. I am probably 10 minute away from completing this 2 hour project. Maybe next week we'll paint. We'll see how much time and energy we have!

Around lunch time the girls wanted to go and hang with the Riley's at their new house. I went up to get a tour and Sis. Riley asked for some help with her garage. I spent about an hour there helping put together some shelves and putting things up on the shelves. Man they have a ton of stuff. They have about filled their 2 car garage with "stuff".

We tried to go to the community center last night to check out the Halloween festivities. There was a line out into the parking lot. We decided it wasn't worth it and instead the Turner's came and played games -- uno and charades. We ate caramel popcorn and watched the girls act out silly things. It was kinda fun. The boys disappeared in the bedroom and played their game. They didn't want to participate in "girl" stuff!

I'll have dad send you some pictures of our Halloween costumes.

Well take care and know that we love you and are praying for you!!! We are so proud of you. Love you lots!

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 ...
