Category: Family Time

This is my family in blue. Why not yellow? We may never know.

We have a cancer survivor, a professional puppet maker, two set designers, a medical student, someone born on a different continent, an engineer, a geologist, a world traveler, a couple of property managers, a ballerina, many pianists, a couple of violinists, two who play the harmonica, many guitar players, a few entrepreneurs, a famous sewing blogger, a healer, a girl with a pixie voice, dog owners, cat owners, a business education administrator, BYU fans and non-BYU fans, pickle lovers and pickle haters. Although the Y chromosome is predominant and I am small and quiet,  I AM the BIG sister.

My parents, siblings, and families met for a family photo.

This half hour was the ONLY time we could get together.

Zip!

We took a drive around Fish Creek near Cove Fort to see the damage from last year’s fire. This was a place where Richard’s family memories are richer than their mine ever was. We wanted to see where the fire had been. It was sad to see so much land burned. There were enormous mushrooms which looked like boulders and the little oaks are making progress in some areas. In the places where the fire had not destroyed everything, it was so green and the wildflowers and birds were rich in variety and vivid color. Richard’s dad identified every one for us when we asked.
