Busy Week

Image
I love this Fall weather. The Birch trees have turned this week. Mine is not looking well. This tree is one of the reasons I wanted this house.  Not so many reds around here, but a few.  It's been a hot minute since we had some clouds to make a pretty sunrise.  I went to a soccer game in Burley.  A long story, but Wes got the day off to go the State soccer game in Burley. I went along and went to a couple of quilt stores.   We drove out to Oakley.  Such a beautiful valley. Almost everything has been harvested except the sugar beats.  Found the Quilt Shop without GPS. It is a cute little shop. Worth the drive.  The Twin Falls temple with Fall colors is my favorite. Stopped at the new Jerome overlook of Shoshone Falls. There is not much water running over the falls but the canyon was pretty.  I should share my yoga class post . I love th...

Busy Week

Image
We went to meet my friend and left early enough to take BB to the slide. She absolutely loves it.  The weather was beautiful.  It was to good to see Liz.  Watching her with Callie and BB was precious. I feel blessed to have such a life long friend.  We went to Scott's play. The customs and make up were amazing.  We are seeing more colors, but still have Summer flowers. I caught this little butterfly taking a break.  Friends and family love.... Nature has the best color.... Warm Fall days....

Pumpkin Adventure

Image
We were lucky enough to go on a pumpkin adventure with BB.  She did enjoy it. I know, her face says different. She loved her little pumpkin and carried it everywhere. I don't think she understood the concept of standing next to this sign.  Loved the corn and 'diggers'. Right now she loves slides. This one was a little bit of a puzzle, but she went down several times.  Pumpkin pie.... Pumpkin cookies.... Pumpkin muffins.....

Hannah

Image
Hannah's step mom called me and asked if we had a picture of Barb and Hannah. Hannah said she had never seen a picture with her mom. She was 9 weeks old when her mom passed away in an car accident.  I knew I didn't have one. I contacted Lorinda, Barbs sister in law. She survived the accident, but her baby did not. Since she was living in Yuba City and she and Barb hung out, I figured she might be able to help.  Here are Lorinda and Barb.  And here is Hannah.  And here is the picture that she wants. Barb and Hannah.  I look forward to posting Hannah and Glenna Kay soon.  We went to the cemetery and found the graves.  Funny how grief can lay low and then pop up it's head and let all the pain in again. There is no time limit.  Barb's going to be a grandma... Life is a journey... I believe in Angels....

Two weeks...Two trips

Image
Last week we went to California for a class reunion for Wes.  I didn't attend, but he went with a friend and talked to everyone. I stayed with Allison and cross stitched while she crocheted.  I love seeing the rice fields, almost ready to harvest. The Feather River Temple is beautiful and filled with old friends.  I don't know where they got the Olive trees, but they are beautiful.  This week we went to Hannah's baby shower. I'm so proud of her and the work she had done to heal her soul.  As slong as we were in Utah, we finally found Hawaiian donuts. They were good but let's face it, they taste better on a warm night with a tropical breeze.  We then stopped at Temple Square .  It was so nice to see the Temple without it's scaffolding.  It was a beautiful day. The new visitors center is a win.  This quilt is beautiful.  ...

September 7th

Image
September 7th is the day my mom passed away. The 38th day from when my dad passed away. I have all ready said that this time period is hard. And it is.  Callie and Spencer came for a visit. We had a pool party.  And we introduced her to the Cozy Coup. She had a great time getting in and out. Pushing a button to pretend start it. Bringing her toys on a ride. I don't know who created this little toy, but it has been a joy to my kids and grands.  When I sat down at the end of the day I found a Giants game on TV. To me, it was a miracle. We never get the Giants. They did not disappoint....lost it at the end.  It very much felt like a gift from heaven.  Family is the best.... Blessing at the the end .... Love the weather.....

Top 5 Summer Days

Image
As we creep into September, I thought I would celebrate the Summer.  1.  I had my family all together. It just doesn't get better than that.  2. Oak Island North Carolina. A great couple of days at the beach.  3. The Quilt Museum in Paducah KY. Seeing the work of Tula was beautiful and Inspiring.  4.  Glacier National Park. If you only get one National Park, it might as well be Glacier. Just beautiful.  5. FIFA....it didn't work out like we'd planned, but you know what? Laura and I had a great week in Atlanta. We saw some amazing things. And I loved FIFA this year. I watched and listened to so many games. I yelled at the TV multiple times. I still love Messi.  Spain in four years?  Could be.  It was hot. Everywhere we went was hot. But I felt the blessings of God.  Safe journeys... Scott's job.... Temple blessings.... Air Conditioning.... Sweet grandkids.... Hum...
