11/24/09 Dance, college, morning show, computer crash


11/24/2009 letter to Becky
Things are also busy but good here.  Holly danced at the festival of trees last night (so cute!!).  I don't know if the pix came out but if they did I'll email you one.


She will have a recital here in a week or two.  Katie will also have a piano recital.  The boys just finished their Eagle Scout projects last month and Dallas is totally done, Bryce can't be done until February ish.


Aj's got a load of school going on -- he's carrying 17 credits, writing for the school paper, Service Club President, going to a student ward (how weird is that?!?) and working for the parks department and the radio station.   He was made Elder a week or two ago.   Don't see much of him.  Only know he is around cause he leaves his shoes out...which dRIVEs me CRaZy!!  (I usually return them to his pillow for him...fun games we play with each other, huh!?)
Andy is doing his morning show from 7-8 a.m. everyday.  So he is not so much a night owl as he used to be.  He says he really likes it.  He has to get up and leave the house by about 6:15 a.m.


I'm doing same old stuff with court being busy busy busy.  My computer crashed last week and I am now on a MAC.  I've been resisting but management made me go this way.  It's not so bad.  Just different.  Like learning stuff all over again.  I'm sure I'll be quick at it soon.  Already things are starting to come together for me.
We would love to see you.  I could probably take off that day.  I think it'll be the kids last day of school so they'll be out by 1:15.  The pool will be open.  We could even do a birthday cake for Holly and Katie.  They would love that!!!


Well I'll be in court until who knows what hour so I won't be calling you tonight.  But one day soon!!! Take care, love you lots! Shelly

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...
