05/06/17 Delivering breakfast

This morning the bishop texted me to tell me he had some leftover's from Father's and Son's outing that he'd like me to distribute to ward members.  He specifically asked for one and then said to find others to deliver the rest to.

I went to the first home he had requested to find her not there.  I left the non-perishable items and texted her to find out if she'd be around to receive the others.  She said she would not.

I then went to the Ivie's home -- Tammy was asleep but her husband and two boys were so excited to receive chocolate milk and eggs and orange juice.  You would have thought it was Christmas time!  It was fun to see their happy faces.  They told me about scouting and their Sunday teacher.  They were super cute and happy!

I think tried to deliver some to Sister Babbitt...She had a gate and a note that said do not disturb.  I called Bishop and he said it was ok to disturb...I tried to call, knock, ring the bell...nothing.  I really think someone was there but I had NO luck!  Bishop said not to leave anything since it would go bad if they weren't around. Bummer!

I then went to Nay's house -- their kids were leaning out the bedroom window and also excited about getting breakfast goodies!

I headed to Jen Field's house --and had a really nice visit with her.  I stayed about 1/2 hour and she seemed to really love every minute of it. She showed me her rock collection and talked about the death's they've had this year and extended family problems.  The ward has been trying to activate the family -- the kids have started getting involved in scouts a little.  She invited me to come back another time and "play" with her.  It was a fun visit!

I really enjoy taking unexpected goodies to others.

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 ...
