02/15/18 Chase Family visit

The Chase Family came for a quick visit from Thursday February 15 - Sunday February 18 over President's Day weekend. All the kids stayed over Thursday evening and then the Chase's went to Zion while the Griffin's went to school/work.

We all enjoyed some hot tubing at the condo Friday evening. (It was too cold to enjoy the regular pool!!!)

Saturday we went Prom dress shopping at the DI for Aspen and played games at the table (exploding kittens, Ticket to ride (the trains game) and a game they had brought from home. 
Saturday evening all the teenagers went to the Stake Dance in Bloomington while the Chases stayed and did taxes and hung out.  The Griffin's went to the Dixie University Basketball Game (Andy had to work). 

Sunday we we all went to church together and then enjoyed ribs, rolls, baked beans, potatoes and salad and cookies.

Chase's were going to stay until Monday however there was a bad snow storm coming in. 
So they loaded up and headed home Sunday evening at 6 p.m.  It was a fun visit!!!

         Aspen had been asked to prom recently by two guys on the same day.  She accepted one invitation and turned down the other.  Initially the guy turned down was cool about it.  They planned a date the weekend following prom and were going to go out anyway, just not to prom.  After thinking about it he must have gotten upset because he texted her something to the effect of...hey let's forget the date and you just pay me $40 for the chocolates and flowers I got you.
Aspen took the high road and didn't reply to that text!
We didn't get to see a whole lot of Katie while Chase's visited as she was at SUU at a Jazz Festival.  Sad!!!
Holly and Sam bonded...they are like two peas in a pod!  They both love watching Disney TV, cookies, playing video games and hanging out.  Sam kept doing things that reminded me of Holly!!!!  Did Becky get the wrong twin?!  Haha...!!!
Sydney is shy?!




Holly and Sam enjoyed playing pool instead of playing IN THE POOL!!! Neither of them wanted to swim!!

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...
