07/02/19 Getting ready to change

Goodbye, Washington and Ali Lane

Things have finally fallen into place. Last Monday, June 24, 2019 we closed on the sale of our current 587 S Ali Lane, Washington home. Originally we were supposed to close on June 18, which is when we actually signed all the documents. Then closing was supposed to happen June 21. Again didn't happen. And finally things actually worked on Monday the 24th.

We closed on the purchase of our new home 1046 N 1700 on Wednesday, June 26. According to contracts we all had a couple of days to vacate and in theory we should have been in our new home June 29.

Although in the true nature of the way this has gone from beginning to end that didn't work out!

Thank goodness the people that bought our home purchased it as a rental. So they are just fine to charge us $75/day to stay here.

Richard and Janis Wakefield are waiting to be able to get into the home they purchased in Sun River (not California as originally planned) and can't get in until July 10.

The realtor had told us we were going to get the property on Saturday July 6 (which would have worked out really nice with a holiday two days prior). Then Janis fell and got a concussion and things got stalled on their purchase and they moved it to July 10 at 8 a.m. we thought. And then they clarified it was July 10 at 5 p.m. Sigh.

So we wait! We have packed up a lot but hate to get too packed as we still have to work and eat and function here!!!

We have a packing morning planned for Thursday, July 4 and maybe Saturday, July 6. I have to work a full 10 or 12 hour day on July 9 so we need to be pretty well ready before that. And on the morning of July 10 I am getting audited by BCI at work.

Meanwhile Andy is busy keeping up with his morning talk show!

It will all come together!

I do feel at peace finally and that we are going where we should go. But WOW what a rollercoaster ride this has been!

Hello, St. George

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 ...
