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.

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...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
