Scenes from Happy Valley

View outside the front door of my Happy Valley vacation site. I love that the mountains are so close.

I love the cool 60 degree weather every morning.

Overheard conversation from two morning walkers, "I really want to add on to my house..........I know I should be grateful for what I have....." Where else could you overhear this conversation?

The clean cut, ENTHUSIASTIC happy faces of the young adults assisting at EFY.

I love swathing myself in a quilt in a freezing cold basement in July. TL-can I have a basement???????

Postcard from Deseret

Dear Family and Friends:

We have arrived and are having a great time. Wish you were here.
Love, Me

P.S. I left my camera memory card safely tuck into my computer !@@##^&#&^#(&^

Headin' Narth

Well, I'm outa here in a couple of days.....Headin' Narth (do you get the accent?)
I'm headed to my roots......to feed my soul...I think Utah is imbedded in my DNA..

For those of you who live in this fair state, you may think I am nuts but ever since I was an infant, every summer, my family headed north to the Mother Land. We made stops beginning in Payson, next to Provo, Murray, Salt Lake, Bountiful, Roy, ending in Logan and then reversing the process all over again, heading south. If I had a chat with any long-time resident of Utah-we would probably be related.....(I'm descended from the 2nd wife of course)......But I dearly adore going to Utah and these days I try to head there at least once or twice a year. To visit family and be restored... I don't have a lot of photos of those travels, but this photo to me epitomizes those yearly treks.

The aunts preparing food. Never ending food......and one of my uncles strolling in the background looking for wildlife or other interesting biological bits of information.....As I said before, we started in Payson and ended up in Logan......with a never ending buffet of hamburgers, potato salad and beans (old family joke). As I married and started my family, we too began the almost yearly trek to Utah and I have passed down the Utah DNA to my posterity......

Make fun of me if you like-but I will always reserve a piece of my heart for the Beehive State.....

So it's EFY at BYU or bust!
