Traces of Time . . . August 26 - September 1, 2024

TRACES OF TIME . . . {Last week: Scroll to end and click "Older Posts" at bottom right.}

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

"The magical, supernatural force
that is with us every second is time.
We can't even comprehend it.
It's such an illusion,
it's such a strange thing."
— Anthony Hopkins
Note from Eileen: You will notice I call my blog:
"Traces of Time..."
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-- Shawn, Julie, John, Jennifer, Jerry--our 39 grandchildren--10 spouses of G-C, and 7 great-grandchildren, with one on the way in December--for a posterity of 70.

Guatemala - Pacaya Volcano (2,552 m / 8,373 ft)
Located close to the Pacific coastal plain, Pacaya Volcano is a complex of peaks that has been active since around 20,000 years ago. It is the most popular volcano in Guatemala due to its attainable level of hiking. Active and unpredictable, Pacaya Volcano is a constant show of ash clouds and lava flow. Brave visitors can hike almost up to the cone and have a closer look at the flowing lava! Insider tip: Make sure you consult first with the local authorities if hiking is possible during the time you are visiting. Sometimes the Park closes due to the extreme volcanic activity.

         Jayden came for my Home Health Physical Therapy session.
MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 2024
Family is Everything...
...and so are friends.
Empty Nesters' Gathering at                      the home of Mark & Tammy Ballard
We were greeted at the front door by
MaKell NcPherson, Mark & Tammy's niece.
She kindly helped the ones who needed to use the elevator to get down to the back yard.

Thank you for your help, MaKell.

There's a plaque that says:
"If you're lucky enough to live by a lake,
You're lucky enough."
Then there are those of us who are lucky
enough to have friends that live by
Utah Lake and invite all of us over.
Mark & Tammy furnished pulled pork with rolls and lemonade. The others brought side dishes and desserts.

The ones I know: Kathie brought her special family-recipe of baked beans, Jodi - homemade mac 'n cheese, Linda H brought the yummy potato salad (almost a lost art). Dottie is the one who made that delicious fresh peach pie, and MaryAnn shared her family's favorite cookiesCowboy Cookies from her Mom's recipe. {I couldn't remember if her Mom was Serbian or Croation--here's her reply:
“My mother was both, GrandMother was Croation, Grand Father was Serbian... both from SerboCroatia.... met in United States."

Everything brought was delicious...tossed salad, fruit bowls, relish plates, several desserts. I only got to have the peach pie and MaryAnn's cookie.
Paul said the chocolate cream pie was yummy. CaroI brought it...she saod she couldn'r get it to ser up so it was more like a pudding in a pie shell' think there were some cupcakes and maybe other desserts I didn't see.
I texted to find out...
"Eileen, I brought the three cupcakes and the chocolate chip and Eminem cookies — Jeanie Larsen"
Kathy Skousen brought a vegetable platter with ranch dip.
"Francine and Dave Johnson brought the fruit salad bowl.
Thank you for a wonderful evening."
Sharon brought the orange fluff salad. Several have asked her for the recipe, which she shared at lunch bunch.

Here's Tammy's text about the food:  "Mark and I provided the smoked pulled pork (our son Carl cooked it on his Treager all day until 1 am at night). And we brought the bbq sauces and salsa And lemonade. But was the food amazing. Once you have the list of food please send it to me. The Grahams brought the Mac and cheese. Dottie Thayn brought the peach pie. Fletchers brought the cabbage slaw. LeAnn brought the chips."
Breath-taking views of the lake and Ballard's lovely back yard with it's waterfall.
I counted 32... Mark & Tammy, Henry & Laura, Sharon & Howard, Bryant & Kathie, Dave & Francine, Paul & Dottie, Reno & Tris, Doug & Jodi, Allen & Jennie, Steve & Jeanie, Dean & Nadine, Andrew, Clyde, Ken, Kathy, LeAnn, MaryAnn, Linda, Carol, SuzAnne, Eileen.
Savory food...
...and great camaraderie.
Dottie & Paul...
I learned he had been a Seminary teacher...
and they served missions in Bulgaria
and Uganda, Africa.
He told me Utah Lake is 26 miles long.
And the miles from the south end of
Utah Lake to the north end of Salt Lake
are the same as the distances of the
Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea!
Jodi, Jeanie, Reno, Linda H, Dottie...
and Tris, Laura, Henry--but not seen in photo, then on end Doug, Jodi, Jeanie, Reno...
Showing some of the 32 Empty Nesters who could come...
Clyde, Reno, Jodi...
Eileen sat across from Dottie & Paul.
When Dottie started to sit on that side I asked her
if she'd rather come over on my side so she could
see the lake. She laughed and aid: "I live on the lake."
Their home is on the south side of Mark & Tammy,
and they built it in 1999.

Kathy, Carol, SuzAnne. Kathy said Paul
had a zoom conference call come that kept him
from being able to come.
SuzAnne is our friend who lives further south
in Saratoga Springs. Val Green got her involved
in the lunch bunch when SuzAnne moved from Bluffdale
a couple years ago when her husband passed away.
.
Bryant, Dave, Steve, Jeanie,
and other side of table, Mark.
Dave, Steve, Jeanie, Jennie,
standing, Allen.
Tammy, LeAnn. And bareley see Mark.
Wish we had gotten a photo together of
our host 'n hostest with the mostest--
Mark & Tammy. Thank you for a
wonderful evening of camaradarie at
the charming environment you have
worked hard at creating.

Francine, Mark, Linda H, standing LeAnn, Carol. On other side of table Kathie, Bryant.
Jeanie, SuzAnne.
Paul, Dottie, Tammy.
Jeanie, Steve, Francine, Mark...
as the mountains glow by Utah Lake
while the sun sets on a lovely evening
as we gathered together deepening
bonds of friendship.

Tammy shared the photos she took, and asked me to share the photos I took. This is my answer to her: "Tammy, I did get some photos that I’m putting in my blog and will send them to you. I also have the names of the 32 who were there. Wish I’d gotten a photo of your darling niece, McKell who greeted us at the front door and helped us get down in the elevator. Wonderful gathering, meal, conversations and bonding at your home and gardens that have such a welcoming spirit of the Savior’s and your love. 💜 Eileen"

Family is Everything….
I've been typing Walt's missionary journal.
When he left Salt Laker City--Saturday, August 21, 1954--on the train-- "after just four days' training in the 'mission home' which was in a hotel in Salt Laker City,
his family was at the train station to tell him goodbye, but he said he "called Barbara" from a payphone booth to tell her goodbye. So I copied her photo from the high school annual to show our posterity who Walt's girl friend was when he left on his mission.
She was 17 just starting her senior year at Wendell High School (Idaho).
The rule then was a young man had to be 20 years old to serve a mission, so Walt had completed two years of college, majoring in civil engineering.

Barbara was pretty, talented, and smart. I feel really blessed that it didn't work out when he got home from his mission 2 1/2 years later (March 1957).
I was just starting my 9th grade when Walt left on his mission in 1954.
In photo of class officers I'm second from left. I'm first in the single pictures, because
my maiden was Albertson.
    I am loving typing his journal. I'm up to November 1954. It's a spiritual journey seeing what he was doing and feeling each day
as he served.

Family Book Club book for September

will be...

Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward

3rd Ward

At the end of this September 1st,
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.

Daily Scripture: Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. - Psalm 150:6
Daily Quote: I think the Latter-day Saints have a great obligation pressing in upon them to rejoice in the Lord, to praise him for his goodness and grace, to ponder his eternal truths in their hearts, and to set their hearts on righteousness. - Bruce R. McConkie

* * *

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."
Daily Scripture:** And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew
* * * * *

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.
* * *
Daily Scripture:** This life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead. - Alma 12:24
Daily Quote: I invite you to diligently learn about and appreciate the eternal importance of temple covenants, temple ordinances, and temple worship as you strive to come unto the Savior. - David A. Bednar

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.

6 Testimonies were
shared by: David South

.

John helped his Mom
move to Saratoga Springs, Utah
from Burley/Declo/Springdale, Idaho
yesterday,
September 3, 2022.
Here's what one of John's
sisters wrote about the move.
Geni's face book post today...
We [Geni and her husband] moved a lot when my children were younger. It was hard but they always had one constant…this home. It’s hard to believe that this modest, small house could possibly hold so many memories; so much laughter, a measure of tears, some family arguments but mostly lots and lots of love. We moved my mom out of this home yesterday [Sat, Sep 3, 2022]…and said goodbye to the heart of our family. This home, this place, this feeling, that we all love so much. It sheltered us when we needed to go there and heal…it held countless Thanksgiving dinners and backyard campouts, and family reunions. It was where my dad took his last breath and it gave us strength and held us up. I know it’s only a place. I know there will be new adventures and many more reunions and family gatherings, but I will always miss this little, quirky house with its bright orange kitchen countertops and outdated bathrooms…and the tangible feeling of peace and love that radiated to all of us when we opened the front door. It feels like such a loss…but as with any loss, you have to be so grateful you had such a wonderful place to call home. #idahome #grateful...

Smile because it happened."}

Family is Everything…

Ladies' Lunch was at Magleby's in Springville. I think this is our third
annual trip to go there and then
do a tour at the Springville Museum of
Art to the Quilt Festival this time of year.

Tammy, Kathie
Carol, Jen.

Jen, Sue's darling daughter

had fun telling

us that she was born when

her Mom was in Egypt.

Doc's Wednesday buffet
has prime rib,
two chicken choices,
two fish choices, ravioles,
two potato choices, two
salads, fruit,
and out-of-this world
dessert table!
Katy and her darling
daughter, Emma, who has
recently graduated from
BYU Idaho and will soon
be student teaching
in Ogden.

Sue, Eileen.

Eight were able to come today.
L-R: Carol, Jen, Sue,
Kathie, Eileen, Tammy,
Katy, Emma.

This enlarged photo won't
show everyone but will
show our fun round table

at Magleby's, this
elegant restaurant
we go to once a year.
From there we went to the...
...for the 48th Annual
Utah Quilt Show.

depicting a quilt...

Sue, and Kathie...
Sue with her beautiful
daughter, Jen, who are
both quilters and
great seamstresses.

Kathie and Eileen by
the blue ribbon
Sunflower quilt.

Carol looking at
"His Majesty the Tree"
which got Best of Show.
It had many shiny jewels
and tiny gold chains sewn
into it.

Emma, Katy, Tammy

Cousins happy to
be together...
Katy took a photo of me
by the Tahiti quilt because
I love palm trees.

We served 9 1/2 years on
4 missions in countries
that have palm trees.

(Actually, Walt served
12 years because
his mission as a young
man was in Uruguay-
Paraguay for 2 1/2 years.)

This beautiful book
about Springville
was only $16 with tax.
We got to stop by
Mark's impressive
FlowMax Manufacturing
Company that is in
Springville.

Thanks for driving
us, Tammy.

We enjoy having
lunch at Magleby's and
going to the Quilt Show.

We always miss those
who can't come.
