October Challenge #23--What do you love about your country?

I love that we have freedom of religion, that anyone has the right to worship in the way that they feel is best.  Although there have been some people who try to take that right away, over all it is still the best place in the world.  That being said, I am disappointed that that freedom is slowly being taken away from us, prayer is no longer allowed in school, people are trying to take the words, "In God We Trust" off our coins, that those few who don't believe in God try to take away the right to worship from those of us who do.
 
I love that the US helps other countries in need.

I love the beauty and the diversity – in the land and in the people.  There are so many beautiful landmarks found across the nation, coastal areas with beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, phenomenal rivers and waterfalls, desert plains, sunny and hot areas, cold and snowy areas.  There is so much to see!  The diversity in the people is unbelievable!  Every walk of life can be found in the United States of America.
I love that you can get most anything that you want (for a price, of course).  Short-term things like groceries and clothing.  Education and the opportunity to work in the career of one's choice.

 I love the feeling of pride and joy when the entire audience rises to sing the national anthem.  And I love how the military are honored for serving our country

Fun Day With Bubba

Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

March 2021

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?) Shandra, Natalie, Mickel, LaurieJo Bottom: Stephanie, Jan, Casey, Grandpa, Doug, Grandma, David, Ben, Justin Dennis, Barbara, Kim, Jody, Alicia Kalel Birthday:  Covid is still a constant threat, and I'm still working from home.  However, we did feel safe in having a family-only party for Kalel's birthday.  There is a new place here in town called Half  Axed.  We left Little Miss with Joey because we felt it would be just a little too dangerous for her and went to try our hand at axe-throwing. We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Image
Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
