Fall is on its way

Labor day week brought on waves of fall weather. It significantly cooled off Monday night. It’s good the grand kids had that sleepover and two last swims in. It is probably safe to say the pool is closed for the season, unless you want something like an ice recovery bath.
I tried to take more pictures this week. I am trying to catch up from missing last week and don’t remember a lot of what we did. Mostly normal stuff like school and work and volleyball practice and Shakespeare team practice and quilting and piano practice and PTA meetings.  We also celebrated Daryl’s birthday and remembered 9/11. 
This was a bag of chips at Evelyn’s that Lucy go out. Evelyn was not a fan of the grin. I thought it was funny. 
This is a picture of two little girls “not doing anything,”  But not very convincingly with those grins on their faces and the way they hurried and shut the cooler when they saw me coming. 

Joe stopped in to visit Evelyn after he came home from fighting wild fires in California. He was home 30 hours and got sent out again. He is now in Oregon working on wildfires. 
Ruth found her makeup kit the night of Daryl’s birthday and Grandma Richins was nice enough to let Ruth put some on her. 
We celebrated our fun Daryl boy. 
On 9/11 our city did a synchronized fire work show at three different parks, in remembrance of that fateful day 19 years ago. Glen was working a football game and Lilly and Lucy were with friends so the littles and I got on the roof and enjoyed seeing most of all three shows. 
This is a not so super picture of the Sun Bonnet quilt that I got done and finally mailed back to it’s owner. Luckily she loves it! 
This is a fun cowboy quilt I quilted for my mom’s friend. The pattern had a boot, cowboy hat, saddle and bucking bronco. I did a farm themed baby size blanket for the same lady that was really fun but I forgot to take a picture of it.

Such wonderful quilts! Nice going there you bring a lot of beauty into the world. I also thought the "not doing anything" girls were beautiful. Joe has a super important job this year. Every year, iI guess, now that I consider it.

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
