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

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 ...
