Ah, July

I am very excited for July! Yes, I love Independence Day and all the Americana that goes with it. I love the extra dose of it we have in Utah because of Pioneer Day. It all will be wonderful and great fun!
BUT the main reason I am so excited for July, 1st in particular, is because Evelyn said she would turn the air conditioning on at work!!! Sometimes old people are funny and do funny things. This is one of them. Despite the thermostat in her house reading 84 degrees. The air conditoner could not come on. I know too, that the temperature will be set between 78 and 80, but it WILL help! (Yes, there where fans blowing, but when it is 95 outside and 84 inside; they don't help that much.) And sorry for complaining Arizona inhabitants I know you have 10-20 degrees on us.
So bring on July!

Air conditioning is one of my primary blessings in July. So glad you get to share. I could type a long time about cars that can cool off despite 113 fareheit, or homes where people don't feel like yelling at each other. Lack of stomach aches, heads that don't hurt, and water with ice in it -- more on a long list of summer blessings. You're preaching to the choir!

ESPECIALLY when you're pregnant! She should have done it sooner for you!

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

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....
