Griffin Family

  Ok. I'll start with the bizarre!  This week I needed to repair the sprinkler head in the front yard. I went to Home Depot to purchase a new head. They rearranged a little so things weren't where they used to be. One of the orange aproned guys asked if he could help me. Sure! He walked me down to the correct area and in just a couple of minutes I had what I needed. And then it got weird! He dropped to one knee, put his hand on the ground and looked up at me and said, will you put your foot on my hand? Um, ok? So I put my foot softly on his hand for a moment (thinking there is some kind of silly joke or something?) I remove my foot. He says, you can put your foot harder on my hand. And I said, um, no...why? Baby B--Emory 3 lb 15 oz 17 in arrived at 10 a.m. on April 26 He says you are really cute and I want you to. So now I'm backing away and saying, uh...no...I'm good!!! I gotta go, thanks for your help. And he's like, well...would you mind if I lay on the floor and...

 I think I told you this but I thought I'd mention -- just in case I didn't -- about the Ducks. So I read a book about signs and how loved ones send you signs. It talks about how you can ask for a sign and the sign will appear when you need it and when you don't to give you comfort from your loved one. This is primarily concerning those who are dead (which I know you are not!) - but it seems to be working really well for you as I miss you all the way in Chile!   Ducks walking in front  of my mower! So of course your sign was always ducks because of your ringtone on my phone. Before reading the book I always heard the ducks at night and in the morning or whenever and would smile and think of you. After reading the book I guess I'm more attuned to the ducks and now and I'm seeing them everywhere!   Ducky Cake!!! I will say...the ducks didn't used to come over to the yard but lately they have been over just about every morning. And yesterday when I was mo...

 It's been another busy week here.  Monday we had pizza night at home - with our outdoor pizza oven. We're getting better at using that (not burning everything!) -- I really like it! It was just dad and grandpa and me - E&D are on a 10 day trip. So we just made two pizzas and still had leftovers! About 9 p.m. my doorbell rang (pretty uncommon!) And there were two sister missionaries at my door. (It might have been Sunday night...I can't remember for sure now!) Dad had his therapy pants on and the kids were at Thatchers. So it was just me. They came in and gave me a lesson and asked me about my neighbors. We talked about how you were on a mission in Chile. They are from Canada and Georgia or something like that. I honestly can't remember right now!  They have only been out like 4 months and 6 months -- so they are fairly greenies still.  I had forgotten I needed to make rolls for RS Tuesday (and they wanted them a day early) - so afterwork I got busy mak...

Tom Tom Squires  Well we already got to talk to you today but I'll try to find something interesting to share with you anyway! Diane and Eldon Griffin First off, hope you are feeling better!!! It's no fun to be sick. I hope you snuggle in for the evening and wake up chipper and well tomorrow!!! Adam and Bonnie Squires Ben's Brother and wife Well I think we already told you, but the dishwasher saga continues. I ordered a new part on Amazon after receiving a rubber ring instead of a heating element last week. The part didn't arrive until Thursday. I was super excited to finally complete my repair.  Only, guess what? The part that said it was compatible...was NOT compatible.  I mean...maybe it was...if I'd have bought MORE PARTS!!! (Think of a light bulb and the base. Some have fat bottoms, others are thinner. Well the thread on my new part was much smaller than the original. So if I had some different connectors maybe it could have worked).  BUt I didn't. SO I sen...
