Our little vacation to Utah

Mike and Bo and I went on a little vacation to St. George and Manti. In St. George we stayed at the World Mark Resort and we played Racquetball at the Rec center in downtown St. George it was very fun! Our main reason for going was to see "Tarzan" at Tuacahn. We had a wonderful time there watching the performance in spite of the wind. Then we went to Manti to watch the pageant. That is something I've never seen before. I thought the Mormon Miracle Pageant was amazing! I loved it. We were excited to see the Bingham's and stay a couple of nights with them. We took a little picnic up the canyon and saw their water! We had a really good time. Very fun! While driving we finished the book we were reading, "The Undaunted" by Gerald Lund. I recommend it to anyone, it was a great book. I am amazed at the things the early pioneers did! What a great example they are of faith and courage... and lots more. I'm so thankful. Thankful I live now, thankful for all my blessings. I know they come from our loving Father in Heaven.

"What Manner Of Men Ought Ye To Be Even As I Am" This is the center Block for Jake Judd's quilt, my sister Yvonne's boy. He served in the England London South Mission. Jake, I love the motto of your mission. As I have sat at my machine and this quote has gone through my thoughts over and over again ~ well, I really can't type into words how I really feel about these beautiful words but doesn't it really say it ALL? I'm proud of you Jake for serving a mission even when you had trials of bad health. You kept at it and I hope that throughout your life you will continue to live this motto.
The lettering is a first for me, I did it by hand. I love the "Old English" font and my machine doesn't do that so I tried doing it by hand and it turned out great!
