There is a place called Brown’s Park that encompasses northwestern Colorado, southern Wyoming, and northeastern Utah. The history of it is replete with Native Americans, early 20th century outlaws (Butch Cassidy), cattle rustlers, cattle barons, homesteaders, and miners. Mixed in all that history happens to be some of my family history. My mom’s ancestors once lived in in Brown’s Park (nee Hole). Her grandma once danced with Butch Cassidy. Continue reading

The Art of Letting Go
Another Proverb
This is the second proverb I made a meme of. It came from a comment during class that a fellow class member shared. I liked it and thought I’d make a meme.
General Conference thoughts: Be With and Strengthen Them
by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
How to be a decent human being 101. That’s what this is all about. If the heart is the symbol of love and we live in a time when “men’s hearts shall fail them” (Doctrine and Covenants 45:26) is it any wonder we need to be reminded how to use our heart?

General Conference thoughts: Ministering
by President Russell M. Nelson
It was Easter Sunday and the afternoon session of conference. I needed to get across town to my brother’s house because we were going to have Easter dinner immediately following the session so that the out of town travelers could get home. But I heard that President Nelson would be giving a short talk so I hung around for a few minutes to hear what was going to be announced. Continue reading
Conversations with myself
I’m not sure if anyone else would be interested in this. Perhaps, I am putting this post out there merely as a way to say, “This is what I do. If you do something similar to this then you’re more normal than you think.” Or something along that line. Or maybe it’s just to prove I am alone in this. Continue reading
Ode to Summer
So much for the great outdoors.
The sun is too hot
and dried my lips.
Now a cold sore I got. Continue reading
