06/12/2022 Hot week!

It was good to talk to you last week and know that you arrived safely. I think I was a little stressed about it but didn't realized until I heard from you and I got less stressed! 😂
Dad seems to finally have fought off his most recent infection and is doing well and seems to be improving. Yeah!!!! Hopefully he can keep it up!
At work we interviewed and hired a new gal for the prosecution. I really like her and have heard great things about her and am excited to have her move over to our staff!  She has a better job at her current employment but it is harder and she has a young family so I think she will really like this change. 
Dad spent the week getting ready for the cash/cruise get away for work. The party was Saturday morning. We had pizza and donuts and soda. It was SO HOT!  Like 106. Oy! We were VERY toasty!  This cute lil old 86 year old lady won and she was adorable. She is a widow so she will likely take her kids with her if she gets to use it. 
We had Mindy and Darrin (the lady that took my job in the court) over for dinner and it was fun. Dad smoked meat (of course!!) and we had some yummy sides. It was a nice meal and they are a super cool couple. 
Bryce and Marlee came to town and hung out with us -- swam and went to the HOT party. Marlee had a reception for a HS friend so they went to that Saturday. Holly, Erik, Bryce, Marlee, Gpa, Eldon, Diane and me and dad had Sunday dinner together. 
We have some new leaders for YW/YM activities and they are doing a really good job. They did pudding pictionary and then showed a little movie What hatchet covers are keeping you from reaching your full potential? -- found on LDS website. HIGHLY recommend! It was an excellent activity.
Anywho...I just got distracted for 1/2 hour with YW stuff! 😂
Hope you are having a great time! Love you!❤ Love you!❤

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...

01/13/26 How Many Cookies?!?!?

  I planned to visit Washington City and go to the ladies luncheon (they do it monthly on shut off day). I found a new recipe that included putting smashed pretzels in the mix. (I had smashed pretzel, cereal mixture leftover from Christmas).  The recipe said it would make 22 cookies. I figured I would triple it and have 66.  Welp...they must have been some BIG cookies they were making...cause I got 126 cookies!!!!  What the heck?! I backed 24 of them and put the rest in the freezer. Someone will have a nice treat another day!

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...
