12/12/11 Flu and running out of gas...some days are like that!

12/12/11

Wow I can't believe it is Sunday again.  It has been such a busy week.  Kind of too much week, if you know what I mean!
Dad has been way too busy working on what might be the last issue of the mag if some $$ doesn't get "got" by the guys in charge of making the $$!  He has worked from early in the a.m. (radio show) until late into the night for many days.  So exhausting!
We have also been staying super busy at my work too.  Another Tuesday evening where we handled 68 cases and were at work until after 8 p.m.  After awhile you just feel kind of overwhelmed by it all!
YW is going well.  Had another good turnout (10 girls!!) Wednesday and 5 on Sunday.  Everyone seems to be getting more excited and more involved and it is good to see.  I sometimes am overwhelmed by all there is to do to keep things going but usually a good afternoon nap helps me get over my discouragement!  We are currently getting ready to play ward youth conference and girls camp so a busy summer awaits!
The BAHR family reunion is this summer again and it's Grandma's turn to be in charge.  We are going to capitol reef again so that will be great.  I really like it there. Hope to stay in the same place we stayed last time -- the little 2 bed house place.  Hoping we can get others to stay there too.  We'll see!
Bryce got up this a.m. and got dressed for church and came out in the kitchen and said, Dad, it kinda hurts right here...pointed to his chest area.  Saying his stomache felt a little funny.  Dad's like...do we have any pepto bismal or something. No.  While he's looking for it we hear that dreaded sound...BLAH...Yep.  The flu is back.  But on the bright side, he made the toilet!  Told him to take his clothes off and go back to bed!
Dallas was out working this a.m. and wasn't home yet at 8:45 either (I'm a little worried, since they usually handle sacrament, ya know?!)  He comes home shortly after saying he had gotten stuck out in the rain and his truck ran out of gas.  (The "indicator" light didn't come on... he says!!! We laugh, Dallas, it's an old truck, they don't HAVE indicator lights...you just have to look at the gauge!)  Anyway Dave tells him to walk to the next park (about 1 mile) and continue doing his work and he'll bring gas to him.  Dallas said he walked to the park and back before Dave arrived.  In the rain.  Yeah.  Good morning all in all for both boys, no?!
Some days are like that.
Well since Bryce's episode this a.m. we don't get to go to Gma's (they wouldn't want us this way).  So I gotta go make dinner now.  Gonna make some lasagne.  Should be good!
Hope you are doing great and still loving the work.  So proud of you.  Really enjoy reading about your mission.  Such an inspiration.  Keep it up!  Love you !!!! Mom.

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.

03/27/26 Trip to Italy, Day 4, Friday, Venice to Florence

We headed out around 9 a.m.  and got some breakfast in the train station. We played some games until it was time to go just at a table outside of the restaurant. We traveled from Venice to Florence by train… about 2 hours. It was really comfortable and nice and fun to watch the countryside go by. They even served soda and a snack on the train! Upon arrival we dropped off our luggage at the travel agency. Found some food at a grocery store and ate on a   bench on the street. The streets were sooo busy! We then had a tour of the largest cathedral in Italy, Duomo, the crypt below and Kevin and Becky climbed the bell tower. Over 400 steps to a beautiful view of Florence. Fun fact...every city in Italy has a Duomo -  Duomo means the biggest (most important) chapel in that city.  We walked back to our place…and wow!! It’s on the fourth floor and it is awesome. Very spacious 2B3b with a washer. There was a little tiny elevator to go up to the apartment. It had windows so yo...
