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.

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...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class.  We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!!  Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10.   I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting.  But first...this picture...It just kills me!  When church is just too much! Haha.  I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel.  But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?)  (And he is 10 years old).  Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
