08/28/25 Steve (Stevie Wonder) retires from Washington City

Steve Whitekiend was Washington City's IT guy for most of the years I worked there. Before him was a guy named Marshall. Under Marshall rule the computers were a disaster. We had constant problems. Steve cam along and converted us all the MACs (it was a hard sell for me but I'm loving them now).  I always said that I couldn't work at Washington City if Steve was gone. I never wanted to experience another bad IT situation. Steve surprised everyone and retired early and with only 2 weeks notice.  My job included putting on retirement parties -- so I had to come to work with Andy home with COVID to take care of this party.  And Steve's leaving was definitely a factor in propelling me to my retirement.

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...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
