Letter to Jennifer Davis Mast

6/20/2011 letter to Jennifer Davis

Thanks for the letter. Sounds as if you are enjoying your summer, lucky girl! I am enjoying mine as well. Just returned from girls camp and preparing for a pioneer trek next month. The following month it is off to Girl Scout camp. Aaaahhh, summer time! Work is busy -- got a new computer system today. Tomorrow should be the first real challenge as we have a busy night of court on a new system. Trying to take it all in stride! So far, so good!

Dallas, my 2nd oldest son is working for the parks and rec department at Washington City and enjoying that. He is also doing a summer class to get a little h.s. credit for his work. He got his driver license this year which has been awesome -- no more carting kids to band at 7 a.m. and stuff!!! Bryce just signed up for the coolest summer program I ever heard of. It is ag credits for high school and he gets to go on field trips every week all over the state. One is a 3 day field trip to Bryce Canyon and some other cool places...at no charge. What? Really! Only a select few get to go. Lucky kid. His first trip is this week and he's going to Snow Canyon Anasazi Trail.

Katie and Holly are taking swim lessons every day and have advanced from level 2 to level 4 so far. They will test again on Friday. That will probably be their last lesson but it was 4 weeks worth. (Holy smoke, really?) This summer is flying fast!

Andy was hired as the editor of a brand new sports magazine and he is really working hard but enjoying the results. The magazine looks great. He also has a morning show and does evening games in the school year. Between his job and mine we aren't seeing near enough of each other!

We are getting into the dog days of summer. It's been a mild year so far but the 110+ is coming. Unfortunately! Not so bad when you are pool side but not too good when you are not!

Take care of yourself and family. It's fun to watch the kids grow up and get jobs and be responsible, eh!?

Talk soon! Shelly

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 ...
