Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound

This week in my religion class we were learning about the law of Moses. While I learned a bunch about it. I also learned a lot about God’s Grace. It is amazing. We read this article. It’s long but good.

I felt like we were blessed with a lot of grace this week. It was such a relief. Hopefully I gave people some Grace too. 

 The good things of this week- 

Helpful teachers that are concerned for my daughters success and willing to put in extra time.

Good parents and in-laws. 

The ability to learn new skills and work on making them better. 

Exercise and a body that works in pretty much all the ways I have asked it too, despite showing that I am not as young as I once was. 

A helpful husband. 

Kids that are working hard and so good. 

Marian being with Evelyn more so I could get some quilts done quickly. 

Good reports from teachers about my oldest two girls. 

Teachers working so hard and adapting to help their students through this interesting school year. 

A beautiful sunrise

Snow. Beautiful snow.

Despite the scale number not going down this week being more consistent about exercising and having non scale wins. 

Evelyn being as good and happy about being with us as she can when she would rather be somewhere else. 


A quilt I quilted for a client. 
The picture doesn’t even do this sunrise justice.
This girl is working so hard. I found her like this and then she 
A little wall hanging I quilted for a client.
A cookie, a box of chocolates and a sucker were all apart of her breakfast options. 
Lucy and her fellow SBO’s  goofing off between giving the teachers treats during Parent teacher conferences. 
A witch wall hanging I quilted for my aunt. It was fun to try some new things. 

I found Lilly like this a little later the same night. She didn’t remember falling asleep at her desk.

Oh! Your sweet Lilly working herself to sleep! That is so dear. Your quilts always amaze me. They kind of confirm your huge amounts of patience and care.

Always so grateful for those moments that make us realize it's not all bad all the time. It's so easy to forget that truth - especially during pandemic.

I liked your good things so much! Your sunrise picture was glorious, but they are better in person, aren't they? Yours made me want to sing "The Morning Breaks!"

I was so glad to hear Evelyn is still around and having fun things for breakfast after I heard you are already planned to be in her funeral (your comment on Paige's blog).

Sending love! You are so good!

Seeing your beautiful colourful quilts Is good therapy for me. You're always so beautiful you're peeling and so carefully executed. I am really in awe.

Phew! That truck sale is finally complete! We are glad you are so patient.

The world goes round and round. It's always better with you going along with it.

"You're peeling"?????

I can't even remember what I was trying to put down in my comment. Having a teeny tinĂ½ window for blog comments definitely makes proof reading challenging.

L is for the way...

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

 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

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....
