3/31/05 Dallas' 10th birthday, road trip to Layton for work

3/31/2005 LETTER TO BECKY

Dallas working on his old bike
 Dallas had a nice birthday.  He got a new big bike - the regular boy size
one was too small.  He has been so proud riding around in his new bike and
helmet (we bought the helmet for AJ and make them share it).  AJ had to have
one to do his 50 mile bike ride with the scouts.  He has done a 16 miler and
a 50 miler and has two 25 mile trips more to do to get his merit badge.  Wow
what a lot of work!!!!

Dad seems really sick to me and stubborn.  He insists he is "not that sick"
Dallas' 10th birthday...9 and 1! (Didn't have a 10)
but goes on hacking and wheezing and yucky.  I was kind of wishing he had
stayed home because we have been very healthy all winter and I DON'T WANT
SICK KIDS!!!!  (or husband)  But so far we don't have it...

I don't know anything about the walkie-talkies...I can ask the kids but I
haven't seen anything or heard them talking about them.

The easiest thing you can do with Sam and the dust is try to keep it dusted
always - It always get me when we "stir it up".  Get good filters in you're
a/c and heating vents etc.  That REALLY helps.  They cost more but it helps
to keep your house from getting nasty in the first place.

I have a trip to Layton City for a conference on May 25 and 26  I think -
Tuesday and Wednesday.  The bad thing about it -- it is the last week of
school for the kids so they won't be able to come up with me.  School gets
out on Wednesday or Thursday.  So I am trying to figure out how to do
this...

Enjoying his birthday!
My friend is going to bring me up.  Her daughter lives there and she wants
me to stay at her house (I don't really want to though).  I would like to
find a hotel within walking distance to Layton City that has a pool and
breakfast and enjoy some P&Q!!! (peace and quiet)  Andy talked about coming
up after school and spending the weekend.  I'm not sure if we'll do that or
not.  The city will pay for my hotel -- 2 nights maybe 3 but the family
won't be up there yet.

The other drawback is that I'll have to leave this place unattended for 1
week...

Anyway - let me know if you know if anything is close to Layton City or if
you have any ideas.  I'm sure you guys would come swim or something with me
in the evening right?  You go a week or two longer than us in school too
right?

I tried calling you a couple of times but always get the machine.  Is it
true that you are home and ignore the phone or are you just out a lot?  I
called this a.m. and yesterday p.m.

Talk soon!  Love ya.

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 ...
