07/19/2018 New house? No.

10/11/18 -- So we didn't get the house at 134 Brookhaven Road. We put an offer in back in July and the time expired without our house selling (or even any prospect of selling). We paid for an inspection and appraisal (money we lost on the deal -- about $800) . We could have extended it out and started putting large amounts of earnest money down to keep the house "ours" but we just weren't brave enough. We continued to try to sell our house through October and while we had lots of people view the house not one offer was made. We finally decided to take the house off the market for now. (This home was removed from the market about 2 weeks ago and the Telford's changed their mind about selling their home which we were also considering.) So we are not sure what the Lord has in mind for us except that for now we stay! The good thing that came out of it is that I was able to clean our house top to bottom, get rid of extra junk, and make things nice here. SO for now we'll stay -- which is OK!!! We really do love our house. It's just a bit big for us! The location and the ward is great though and the house is absolutely wonderful. (Except on the day I get the electric bill which has been running over $400/month this summer -- boo!)

Our house has been on the market since April because Andy felt like it was time to go. We weren't sure where or when or why, just that it was time. We haven't had any real action (we priced the house a little high) -- but we also hadn't seen anything we were in love with...until this.

So we put in an offer Thursday which was accepted Friday and now we dropped the price of our house and are waiting to see what happens. Scary!!! Exciting, fun...

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...

10/06/24 Repairs, Funeral, Marathon, Retirement Party, Car Show, Murder Mystery, Dr Visits, Pets, Food & Church. O my!

Macy Bundy, Hudson Jones, Emily Francis It's been a wonderful, packed week with good stuff going on all around. Sunday during church I went to Andy's class for 1/2 of the second hour. The kids are nine and kind of a handful sometimes...but there was only three and they were pretty cute and fun. After Andy taught his class he went to Primary singing time and I went to the second half of a combined YW/YM class. We had Sunday dinner with Randy & Kay, AJ, GPA, and us. Eldon and Diane are on an Elderhostel trip and will be gone for a couple Sundays with other responsibilities. Andy smoked drumsticks and I made homemade bread and cookies (both new recipes). All of our dinner was SO GOOD!!!! Sometimes it just works, and this was one of those! YuM! Raspberry filled cookies Delicious homemade bread Bryce and Marlee and Mo left fairly early on Sunday morning. They went out to Enterprise to see her brother's kids in the primary program. They had lunch and then stopped at Holly a...

11/10/24 Election, 28 year Anniversary, 1 year Anniversary and a Sealing

Well I'm starting this early cause tomorrow morning I'm going walking extra early. But I'm still calling it 11/10. I'm gonna run through this week and see if anything was exciting. But first...this picture...It just kills me! When church is just too much! Haha. I think that was at youth conference a couple of years ago and I think it's one of the Francis boys...but I couldn't swear to it! I know you're not supposed to take pictures in the chapel. But seriously...I couldn't resist! Speaking of the Francis family. Today at 2:30 p.m. at the Red Cliff's Temple, they sealed Laith to their family. Laith will make child # 10 (or 12?) (And he is 10 years old). Laith's mother died very unexpectedly within the last couple of years. Shortly thereafter his father was arrested and has been sentenced to spend the rest of his childhood and beyond (I don't know the # of years) in prison. He's a challenging child AND he got bumped around a little....
