10-20-2020

 We enjoyed sharing the Local Sites and Sacred places we have here on our Mission in Nebraska.

The Wyoming part of our family braved the 14+ hour drive to come visit us.

We went to see the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge and Omar the Troll. Henry Doorly Zoo and Pioneer Courage Park, Kanesville Tabernacle and Mormon Trail Center and Pioneer Cemetery and Winter Quarters Temple.


It was fun to celebrate Christopher's 13th while they were here. A special Sunday Service to renew our baptismal covenants together and share Testimony of the Gospel.  Dressing up like Pioneers for a few Photos to remember them.

Lots of yummy foods and special Pioneer Videos to tell the Pioneer Story. Walks through our Gallery to experience a bit of the journey.  Walking where our Ancestors walked.


They asked to help with some of our WORK. We saved the Flowerbed by the Pioneer Handcart Monument for them to help. Pulling spent flowers and blowing the leaves, using the leaf blowers, all wanted to help. Even if it was just picking the flowers for a bouquet.

I LOVED EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WE HAD WITH OUR FAMILY!!!

It was the best medicine for Grandma Mary and Grandpa Paul.

50 Shades of Brown


I ❤️  that I got to sew along with 
Lori of Humble Quilts
I had a few Browns and Janet O sent me some!!!
Quilter friends are the Best!
I couldn't decide if my John Wayne fabric was going to work.

I stitched up a few while I waited for the squishie in the mail.

Lay out #1 
That light square was screaming at me, so I switched it out for the Finale.
A few fun directional fabrics and Voila!
I will quilt in later, gotta finish my other project in the works.
Thanks for the Linky Party and Great SAL,  Lori!

October - Fall is here

Yes the month is nearing the middle and I didn't BLOG. 
We had a special Visitor from Utah...
Our FM Manager, Drew Corry.

We've been busy taking out flowers and blowing leaves.

I took a video of the DH blowing leaves into the street. This is a screen shot.


Now he shovels them and puts them into the dumpster.

I like using the battery operated blowers. 
We have harvested our Squash, Beets, Green Beans and Tomatoes

The Pumpkins on the side hill didn't get huge, but we at least got some that 
the deer and bunnies didn't eat the blossoms off.

I have gotten the Reproduction Quilt #2 off the Design Floor.
This is the last picture I took. Lots of partial seams.

We are in the process of Planting Tulips.
Elder Crowther keeps finding new places to make a flowerbed.
We've been on our knees, not just for Praying
The Plant Augers we got from AMAZON work great.
 
The Stihl Tiller is still his favorite tool.

General Conference was great and we still enjoy our short Sacrament Services on Sundays.
I love making the bread each week.

Virtual Tours are going, we have done a couple for friends and family.
