07/01/17 Day Two - Park City - Galaxy Bowling and Games

After a long travel day we wanted to have a quiet Saturday.  The boys were working and couldn't join us until late afternoon anyway so we hung out at the Condo and played games, read books, and relaxed.  We brought some painting supplies and Holly got out our skillsuccess.com class and watched a lady teach her how to paint a monkey.  He came out super cute!!!  We also had some fancy coloring books and colored some intricate designs.

We were able to go down to the pool for awhile and have the pool to ourselves for an hour too!!!

AJ got to Park City first with a bag of tacos from one of his favorite taco places.  (He once ate 20?! of those tacos at once!!!)  We each had 1 or 2 and were good this time around!  They were really good and it was fun to try them.

Once the newlyweds arrived  (Bryce & Marlee) arrived we went to the Galaxy Bowl and had 90 minutes of bowling with a pizza.  We played from youngest to oldest and that was pretty much the way the scores ended up at the end of game one.  Andy's back has been naughty lately so he watched while we played which allowed me to barely break 100 and win (might be first time I ever won at bowling!!!)  Second game we didn't have time to complete but Bryce pulled out and was ahead when the system went down!

Bryce says they played a lot while on his mission and he had improved quite a bit and had quite a few strikes.

We played a game called telestrations that Marlee brought -- it was fun -- you get a erasable flip board and marker.  The whole group draws a card and draws the item listed on the # the dice show.  Then they flip the board and draw that picture and pass.  The next person tries to guess what they drew and write a word and pass.  And then draw a picture and pass.  etc.  Until everyone in the room has had a shot at every flipboard in the room.  It makes for some pretty funny pictures and guesses.

When it was time for bed Holly had to sleep on the air mattress (put in a BIG closet); Marlee and Bryce got the queen bed and Katie got the twin.  AJ headed home for a date and to go to his own church on Sunday morning.

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 ...
