Griffin Family

2000 Stripling warriors were more like 20...but they were a good bunch! This is it!  Your last normal p-day. Your last letter from home.  The last week of your amazing adventure!  I hope that you will have a wonderful week of lasts!!!!   We've had a fairly quiet week here.  Last Monday Sister Schimbeck came and we made salsa together.  Seems like we made about 20 jars of salsa - she took home 6 or 7 and I kept the rest.  (She had only brought that many jars and said that was all she wanted to keep)  It was fun to hang with Katrice - I haven't seen her forever!  We did girl scouts together about 5 years ago and used to hang out regularly and then she quit (cause Brooke grew up) and we just don't cross paths very often! After she left we had BBQ (cause we had Pizza on Saturday) and dad smoked a side of something that was delicious!  We played pickleball afterward.  So Monday afternoon and evening were very full! Monday...

Ben and Jill Rae and family came over Monday night for a salsa party.  Ben likes to garden and had a ton of tomatoes and his wife doesn't like to? or doesn't know how to? or something salsa so they came over and together we made a batch of salsa.  It wasn't as big as expected but we made about of pot full and bottled it up and sent it home.   Afterward we ordered pizza and enjoyed hanging out for a little while. The girls really enjoyed playing with Katie and Holly's dollhouse and Wesley liked talking sports with dad.  He is a math nerd and likes to memorize all the #'s like dad so I think Wesley really enjoyed hanging with Dad! I was afraid Tuesday was going to be out of control with our prosecutor out of the country for the past 3 weeks and Judge gone and me gone a week ago...but it was ok.  We were out by 7:30 or so which isn't horrible.  This week will probably be worse but hopefully not TOO much worse.  We always pay when we play!!!!
