Guam

I wish this post was going to be talking about a great island get away to this island or any island as a matter of fact( can you tell it's winter, and though it has been mild, more sun is what I would really like?(What's that you say Phoenix and the Grand Canyon are calling my name and much closer to visit? I know. Darn this basement that's not finished.)) It's not. I guess it's me asking for help. I need more eyes.

Does anyone have a spare Guam quarter? I'll pay you back at least a quarter to trade!
This is a silly question really but it's the last one Evelyn needs for her collection.
She started keeping state quarters here and there over the last ten years. She eventually got enough that I got her a book to keep them in. Once we had the book it turn in to a quest to fill it,which wasn't to hard since she had done a good job of collecting.
Well we have gotten all the states but the book also had the territories of the U.S.  Until a couple days ago there have been two quarters missing , Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. I finally found the latter and I have been looking for it since 2009 when they were minted.
So if you see Guam and would be willing to share I would love to have this endeavor over with.

We have all 50 states, but there are only holes for 50 coins in our book, so I hadn't even been looking for Guam or the Virgin Islands. I'll keep my eyes open.

Maybe you could get a different book? One with lower aspirations? (I'll also start looking.)

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....
