First Grandchild, Visitors, Snail Mail

Week of 10 October 1983

That Tuesday she writes “FIRST GRANDCHILD”. She gives a number of details about Jessica that one normally does about a newborn such as time, weight, length. Then she talks about Jessie’s eyes and hair. On Thursday she brought mother and daughter back to Honeyville. That weekend family friend Alma Thrash and our sister Vangee Nez came to visit and see the newest family member. Vange made fry bread for tacos. Mom lists a bunch of others who came by over the weekend to visit and check out the baby. Sunday was another day of receiving attention while at church. Everyone wanted to hold Jessica.

She heard from me this week while I was still on a church mission in Spain. International snail mail was not as reliable as it is today, not that it’s much better these days.

New Job, First Grandchild, Sick Kid, Embroidering

2/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Week beginning 31 Jan 1983
​
A change of work starts this day. Mom began working in the Manufacturing Engineering Section after a transfer within Thiokol. Rumor mill depicted her new boss as “bad” and the others in the section in a nice light. This boss was on special assignment for a few months so she was glad for the time to learn the new job before needing to “contend with him.”

That same night Lisa called to say she might be expecting her first child. She notes Crystal was sick enough that they called in the home teachers for a priesthood blessing. Stressful day I’d say.

​Cris’ illness caused her to miss the next day of work. Not the best start to the new position. That week she went on to begin embroidering a pillow case for someone (not noted who).
