Traces of Time . . . July 17-23, 2023

 TRACES OF TIME . . .      

"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly."
“The Color Purple” by Alice Walker, 1982

{Last week: Scroll to end and click "Older Posts" at bottom right.} On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.

Dedicated to our seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen, their spouses, our 39 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and posterity to come.   

     THIS WEEK- JULY 17-JULY 23, 2023


  MONDAY, JULY 17, 2023

  
                    Family is Everything…
  
  Sunrise: 6:10 a.m.

Here's a good reminder

to start Monday...





I don't know if it did

get to 104º here today.

 

A flashback to July 2015 at

Island Park with Brewers.

Austria today.

I texted to her:

♪♪♫♪ The hills are alive
with the sound of 
Idaho Ballroom Academy

Reginald is growing...

12 days after he appeared

at the Parkway Blvd Park

here in our

Saratoga Springs HOA


How long will he get?

 WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 2023

  
                    Family is Everything…

and so are friends!

  Lunch Bunch was at 

 Zupas 


 
Last week after Lunch Bunch

Kaye made this charming

lap quilt for Sandi.


The back is very flowery



Kaye is an expert quilter.


Kaye also did the

machine embroidery.

Sharon did the binding.



So nice to have Faye return 

6 weeks after her

back surgery. Her sister,

Jeanie has been helping her

a lot, taking in meals, etc.

12 were here...

and then...



Jennie came, making it

a lucky 13.

Clockwise from bottom left:

Jennie, Carol, Rosane Böhme,
Sharon, Sue, Linda H, 
Eileen, Faye, Jennie, 
SuzAnne, Kaye, Shauna, 
and Sharon.


SuzAnne, Kaye,

Shauna, Sharon. 


Carol, 
Rosane Böhme,

and MaryAnn.


Here we are from the

other side.

We always miss those 

who can't come.


Jeanie was on her way to get

a new set of nails done by

her granddaughter. We all

admired her patriotic ones.


I thought this would

show the Zupas sign.



        Flashback to last July:


WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2022

Ladies' Lunch was at 
 
Pizzeria Limone in East Lehi

1249 E Main ST #120

Eleven came today...

the photos aren't showing

up to download...

except this one of

Sandi and Sharon

 Our Wednesday night movie 

for a baseball movie was

from 1992

"A League of Their Own"


It's always a treat to

have Gary come...

He is our first-born son.

second child of 7.

THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2023
                     
Family is Everything…
  

   Janie & Shawn and their

Idaho Ballroom Academy

group of 60 are in

Paris today.

 FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2023

                 
Family is Everything…
  

Another hot July day...


I was doing some genealogy

on Family Search and found

this photo of my

Uncle Warren Albertson

with his baby daughter,

Georgia Dean by their

home in Jarbidge, Nevada.

She was born 27Sep1941.

It had the date 1942, but I'm

quite certain it was not
 
later than Oct. 1941,

because that's when the

Guggenheim Gold Mine

closed when it ran

out of gold in Jarbidge.

My Dad & Mom also lived

there not far from

Warren & Vida, and

Oct 1941 is when my Dad

left there and got

a job at the Ship Yard

in Long Beach, California.


Uncle Warren

1916-18Dec1973

Georgia Dean

27Sep1941 - 30Jan2017

Age 75

                    Family is Everything…
  

 Someone in our family is Rendezvousing

 with Glacier National Park today.
 
May 1910
President William Taft signed a bill into law establishing Glacier National Park. The country’s 10th national park, Montana’s Glacier preserves 1 million acres of glacier-carved peaks and valleys, pristine turquoise lakes and streams, and dense ancient forests for all to enjoy. Learn more about the Crown of the Continent as we celebrate this iconic national park.


Here's a photo of my primary 

class in 1950 in Wendell, Idaho.

This is our Seagull Girls' 
Primary Class
of 11-12 year old girls.

Mrs. Nephi Hansen--Julia--was our teacher.

Here's the names I remember:

Happy Birthday to Maeve...

"1" today



      Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward

Brennon Beecher reported his 

Texas Houston South Mission 

A mission helps you know

Christ better.

It only takes a little every

day to climb the

highest mountain.


"Ministering"

Elder Geritt Gong

Kirsten Novilla taught

She made it very personal,

ending with a paraphrasing

of John 6:5-13

Sister Petersen, do you love the Savior?...

Sister Petersen, do you love the Savior?...

Sister Petersen, do you love the Savior?...

"Feed my sheep."

 *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ that makes this Great Plan operational.
At the end of this July 23rd,

I pray you have had a

restful , peaceful, and spiritual

Sabbath Day...

I share these truths as my testimony to you...


Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence.  
He loves us just 
as we are at this very moment. 
He knows what our potential is.
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
*** *** ***
I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. 
Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."

***  *** *** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration.  He is the Restorer of all things.
*** *** ***
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world. 
*** *** ***
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
*** *** ***
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
*** *** ***
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.

*** *** ***
Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
