08/04/21 Covid continues, Strikes Shelly

On Tuesday, August 3 about 4 p.m. I started feeling a little off...like vertigo...took my temperature and it was up around 101. Knowing that COVID had arrived I went in Wednesday morning and tested positive...starting my 10 day quarantine. (I already had been quarantined 5 days due to Andy's positive).

I had a fever for 24 hours and felt kind a blah until 4 p.m. Wednesday. Then I started feeling better. I had to work all day Thursday (interviewing over ZOOM for a new Judge) and luckily felt good all day.

I did daily sun therapy (naps on my recliner by the pool). Saturday was another rough day with a bad tummy ache (took a concoction of vitamins without eating anything and it knocked me down for about 3 hours with stomach pains and the accompanying yuck) and just feeling icky. Other then that felt pretty good as I waited out my time.

COVID did allow me to get paid for doing lots of projects. Here are some pictures of some of the projects...I didn't get pix of everything.

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides. We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more. Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north. Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby. Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us. Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

10/10/95 Journal Entry - Still no house!!!! But feeling blessed

10/10/95 Still no house - maybe this week. Haha. Money ran out of the last issue on the people right before us. More money may come in at a lower rate. We'll have to see. Dallas is really growing up in a hurry. He is crawling very well on his knees, standing up on things and moving while holding furniture. He's been really fussy this past week. Maybe a cold or teeth. I don't know. I held him on the coucn all night Saturday. he is really a mama's boy and cries when I leave or come in the room. AJ is also growing up fast. He's so independent. He knows what he wants and often gets it. Saturday Gma and Gpa Griffin were leaving to go home and Aj said, "Where are you going?". Grandma says, "Home to Salt Lake City." AJ says, "Ok, just a minute I'll get my shoes on!" He is a really good looking little boy. I sure am lucky to have such a neat family. Andy's been busy training Dean Rock. Last two weeks he do...
