05/30/22 Memorial Day

Well I have to admit I kind of love that you can just pop on and ask me questions whenever and then go about your business. Makes me feel still connected to you and like you are still part of things!

Let's see...what's been going on here...

Dad had two more vein treatments this week - they go in and make punctures in his leg and then coderize (burn) his veins shut. The way the dr described it was that dad's veins are like a roadway. So imagine I-15 and then frontage road. His I-15 is great and working just fine but his frontage road is a mess. And so they are shutting down the frontage. By burning them shut. And this will make it so he in theory won't swell and get infections anymore in his legs. We'll see. 

On Friday he went in and got an ultrasound and they said he was fine and then three hours later his leg was really swollen, red and sore. Took him back over and got some antibiotics. We're hoping we were fast enough to prevent the infection from being awful again. 

Dad had the home show at the Dixie Center Saturday morning and Top Gun at the Movie Theater to host on Saturday afternoon. The radio station rented out the theater and gave away tons of tickets. They invited some fighter pilots and their families to come watch the movie too. It was really fun and cool. They also bought everyone drinks and popcorn. 

Saturday evening we got together for May birthdays at Wendy's pool/clubhouse. All Laura's kids came in town to surprise her for her birthday so it was a good crowd. Aunt Laura bought sandwiches and we swam and ate. 

Sunday I had early morning meeting for YW -- ward council -- and then church.

Eldon and Diane got COVID so they are home recovering. Gpa went to Wendy's for Sunday dinner. So we just had a nice quiet day and mad the cake we showed you pix of and played games. Chill day!

Today we played pickleball and then when we came back I tried to mow the lawn. A rock or something got up in the mower and violently threw it across the yard right into one of our big windows. And broke one of the panes. (It's double pane -- so good news -- the second pane didn't break so we can be ghetto for a little bit and not compromise the house!!!)

I believe the rock (or whatever broke on the mower) blew apart the underpart because there was gas and oil leaking everywhere. So we went and bought a mower - a battery operated cordless. We'll see how that goes for us. It's charging right now -- so I dunno!!!

Gpa was pretty excited about you texting him first thing this morning. We took him out for lunch and ate at Bishop's restaurant. He got a giant cinnamon roll and his fancy breakfast. He seemed pretty tickled!!!

My boss is out of town this week - in Greece -- so I anticipate a quiet week. Although he is out of town so in theory if anything needs done that he might have done I might get to do it. So I guess it could go either way. 

Hope you're fantastic!!! Love you!!!

Did you get any travel orders yet? 

Dad says to tell you he is right here with me and he loves you too!!! 😍

Oh yea...and ward news...Of course I sat with the Fink's and included a couple of super cute photos of my church babies. Theo finally loves me!!!! And Hyrum Francis (the 3rd oldest child) -- he is about 12...got hit on Friday afternoon. We were going to arctic circle to get Diane a shake for her quarantine birthday and I just had a sick feeling it was one of the Francis kids. It was. He attracted tons of fire, police, ambulance and a reporter not to mention some people - looky loos. I could never see him but found out later it was him. He got a concussion and a bit shook up but otherwise he's fine. Lucky kid!!!! That was scary!

I'm going to send the pix separately in case it is too much for your computer. XOXO mamá

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 ...
