11/30/04 Dad's visit

11/30/2004 LETTER TO BECKY

Katie and Grandpa Laurito

The visit with Dad was nice. He was pretty easy to have. He brought his car full of stuff that we went through when he first got here. He likes to watch the financial channel on the TV so he did that some. I made 1 and ½ of my binders with the material you sent. I didn’t have any more binders and needed some cardboard to do the inside of the 2nd binder so it’s only partly done. I still don’t have pictures from you or Ruth from the funeral. I also don’t have Ruth’s talk. I wanted to put that in my binder.

Dad slept on the couch and made waffles for the kids. It really was a nice visit. He took us to golden corral for dinner Saturday night. He was going to go home Sunday but the weather was bad so he went Monday morning.

The circus, circus buffet is cheap-- but it is also yucky. At least when we went we didn’t care for it. There are a lot of buy one get one free coupons out there and you may be able to get a “better” buffet for about the same price if you can find some. It seems like the LUXOR was a buffet on the strip that we went to and really enjoyed. The best buffet down there is at Sam’s Town and the ‘round the world buffet over in Henderson. Course they cost $$$. I don’t think we’ll want to go to Las Vegas but I can ask Andy. We got our share of Vegas when we had to go down monthly for our vending business. It’ll be fun to have you all for dinner anyway – if the weather will behave.

Our house is wonderful if we can get a sunny day so the kids can play outside. It’s not nearly big enough if we have rain or really cold weather. Keep your fingers crossed!

The embroidery sounds fun – did you find space to set up your machine without taking over your house? I can’t think of anything I want to make up but if I do I’ll let you know.

Well I have court in a couple of hours so I have to run. I was going to call you but haven’t had time lately. Talk to you soon. Sg.

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 ...
