For picture study today, Isla suggested the name of this Rembrandt should be “Rich Lady Looking down on Peasants.”😂 (actual title “Woman with Child Frightened by Dog”) #howwealveary
Tonight at church someone read the words of Jesus, “will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be comforted, that I may heal you?”
And I felt those words pull on my heart, “be comforted that I may heal you.”
He loves us so much. He asks us to let go of hurt, let go of anger, let go of needing retribution, and let Him heal our hearts. I’m glad I was at church tonight.
Later, I read the passage, and the words are actually “be converted” but the Holy Spirit knew what I needed to hear. And now the words converted and comforted seem to have a shared meaning that adds richness to my understanding.
Apple Pie has a good luck cricket for today at Tristate Swim B-championships. Expecting great things from her today!
What a day to spend the whole of it sitting outside watching swimmers. After a while, I was too hot to read 🥵 I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before. My swimmers overcame the heat though!!

Stayed with the Man of the House’s sister in Salt Lake City
Took the littles to KidTopia while everyone else rested for a day.
We visited Uncle Martin in Springville and listened to some wonderful family stories, which I wished I had recorded.
Bean Science Museum in Provo
After that we met the Hansen family at Timpanogus. That gets its own post because.
After Timp, the man of the house went back to Salt Lake City and flew home to Missouri for his guard drill.
I had to drive the van pulling the trailer after that, but my dad patiently taught me how to back the trailer in the Aspen Grove parking lot. I was stressed going down the Sundance canyon road, but did it with no accident, and I was pretty calm about it after that.
My immediate family headed up to Weber Canyon, where my mother’s family has a little green cabin and spent two and a half days playing in the river and swinging in hammocks and playing games.
Making boats to race on the Weber river. Ingredients: pine cones, willow branches, pine gum, leaves, ingenuity
Getting ready to race the boats
Listening to the sound of the River +Smelling the pines + Watching the light shift in the leaves of the quaking aspens + Feeling the cool mountain breeze = rest for the body and soul.
Not so restfulSuch a cute family, missing 3
After the Weber, I drove home with Blueberry Pie as my helper. We camped again at the Cheyenne KOA. We had some trouble through Wyoming- the a/c would go out as we climbed the long mountains. But we made it home all right.
