09/06/15 Movies, pizza, BYU

The shirts you got us came in. Thank you from everyone!!!!  Very thoughtful of you!  I still have to give Marlee her t-shirt.  I figured we'd take it to her farewell if I don't see her before then. 
Monday started off with Dad taking the motorcycle test.  And not passing.  He was bummed.  I guess the course is really tight and it's hard to maneuver a big bike in a little course.  So not a big deal...he just has to keep practicing and try again another time.  He has a year.  The dump thing is he didn't even get to finish the test so he doesn't even know what else he needs to work on exactly.  He'll have to go out and watch some other tests and see if he can try again. 

Carnevale's had us over for Monday night dinner last week.  Brazilian BBQ and rice and beans.  It was really delicious. Poor bishop had an appointment at the last minute and didn't get to hang with us for a large portion of the evening. Their kids seem to really have taken to our kids and they love to play together. It's pretty cute. 

Tuesday Katie went to the movie theater and watched a movie about Beehives and girls camp.  I guess it was pretty accurate and fun for her to watch. 

Rigatti's Pizza
Wednesday I went to the dr for my annual checkup.  He said I was anemic.  Which is bizarre because anemic means your iron is low and mine is ALWAYS high!!!  I'm pretty sure it was because I had given blood the day before.  He wants me to come back and get checked in a month and make sure.  So next month when dad goes in for his annual checkup I get to get blood drawn again too!  After our dr visit we went and found the old home bread store (it moved three years ago and we've never been there since!)  They had good bread for a good price but nothing else amazing.  We'll probably only go there if we are over there...it isn't going to be the reason for going over there!   It's by ace hardware. Since we didn't have pizza monday night we went to Riggatti's pizza (new -- in the Staheli Barn area).  It is over roasted pizza.  It was REALLY good.  No grease like pizza hut. 

Friday dad and I went to Cafe Rio for lunch and Charming charlies to walk around after.  He had to work out at snow canyon while the girls and I went to Cinderella -- movie in the park.  It was a good movie and we had a nice time.  Still pretty warm here even until 10 p.m. so it was nice. 

Saturday Mitchell Squires (Moose) got baptized.  I went over to that -- they live in Little Valley area now.  He was being really shy but it seemed like he had a good experience.  The girls and I went swimming afterward at Linda's pool and then the BYU game was on all afternoon.  AJ brought some college friends over and they had pizza and popcorn and watched the game too. AJ had taken my van last week to get the big TV up to his new apartment.  He had a bunch of kids in his van.  One of them put their cell phone into our van in the glove box.  AJ got up past Cedar City before they realized and he had to turn around and come back and get the phone.  Dad and I took the motorcycle for our first ever freeway ride and met them in Leeds...but still...cost them probably 1.5 to 2 hours.  Ugh!  He probably didn't get home until 1 a.m. or even later.  They hiked 8 miles in the Narrows in Zion yesterday too so I bet they were EXHAUSTED!!!!

I don't have any pictures this week but here is a quote by Harold B Lee.  Hope you are doing well and you are happy!  We love you and are so proud of you!!!! Love mom

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 ...
