I'm so singing the Pioneer songs today! Brant called to wake me up this morning- HE'S IN UTAH!!! He got up at 5am to take his 3 boys and Aaron to watch the Pioneer parade in Utah. I'm sooooo Jealous!
This is the collar and my Cameo that I wore last Sunday.
I guess I wore it a week too early...My Husband is speaking about the Pioneers this coming Sunday.
Thanks to Eliza R Snow we have this wonderful International Organization.
I just finished reading this Book about Ephriam Hanks. He isn't related to me but was one of the Rescuer's of the Willie and Martin Handcark Companies. I am still waiting to see the MOVIE about him and the Rescue. It is in Boise NOW but I can't go there today.
HERE is a Link to the Movie Trailer
Today, I will go and enjoy a Picnic with my fellow "Daughter's of Utah Pioneers" at Whitman Mission.
The song that came to my mind today is on page 218 of the Children's Primary Songbook.
"To Be a Pioneer"
1. You don't have to push a handcart,
Leave your fam'ly dear,
Or walk a thousand miles or more
To be a pioneer!
2. You do need to have great courage,
Faith to conquer fear,
And work with might for a cause that's right
To be a pioneer!
We are marching, ever marching.
We are marching, ever marching,
Marching onward, ever onward.
We are pioneers;
we're marching.
