We have been here in Nebraska 3 days now.
Nebraska Sunrise Sunday Morning!
I has snowed a bit, Freezing Rain is in the forecast.
Zoom in and you can see the Winter Quarters Temple.
This is from the Mormon Trails Center window.
We are oh, so close!!!
The Basement apartment is mostly set up.
It is feeling more homey every day.
They said to bring some things to decorate.
My Mini from Janet O came along as well as my Wedding Quilt.
We are learning our Duties and soon it will be on us to do the Facilities Maintenance.
I love that we can walk where our Pioneers walked.
In one display case it tells about Patty Sessions.
She is my 3rd Great Grandma on my Moms side.
Her roll was to be the Midwife, she helped many bring new little ones into the World.
Some made it, some didn't...
She delivered the 1st baby in the Salt Lake Valley, if I remember right.
It's been awhile since I read her Journal Book.
It's almost my Birthday!
I was born just barely into the 15th of January.
(about 2 am)
My grand children who wrote letters to me already knew how old I'll be.
Ya, Rub it in, I earned every year.
63 and counting.
This was me on Monday after buying out the Grocery Store, lol
I only forgot a couple things.
I'm grateful for the prayers and storms that didn't keep us off the roads to get here.
We were happy to only have one stretch of bad roads.
We drove it in Daylight so it was a little better than in the dark.
Knowing when to stop and rest was Paul's doing.
He drove all the way.
My knees were up against the Glove Compartment.
Tight squeeze to get all the stuff I packed in Vacuum bags and our suit cases in.
The vacuum in the bags didn't last.
Some leaked air, or were torn in the process.
Maybe it was the cold.
Note to self: Get the thicker Vacuum bags.
I have to get to sleep now, going to see the Kanesville Tabernacle Wednesday,
so I'll say goodnight to my Blogging friends
and those who will read this from Facebook when I link it.
Love and miss you all!
HUGS!!
Gorgeous sunset photo. It must have been so fun to get a glimpse at pioneer days. Happy birthday to you also!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Nebraska sunrise! What an adventure you are on, Mary. I am humbled to see that you took the little quilt from our swap with you.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about how much you would have to buy to stock a kitchen from scratch. Haven't had to do that in such a long time!
My prayers are with you, my friend!
So pretty there! Happy birthday. Keep up blogging so we can keep up with what's going on. =)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the vacuum packed things were just packed too early for them to last that long?
A very different life for a while. Quilts do make a place look homey! I know this is going to be a wonderful mission, and I'm glad you made it safely.
