Another BUSY weekend

I flew to SLC from St. George for the UTAH STATE POETRY Awards Festival in Provo which enabled me to also visit family. I stayed with my son Daniel's family and was happy to see everyone again. It was a busy time with the festival, but Emilee and I managed to attend the Provo City Temple for the first time and have lunch with Daniel, then visited on Sat evening. I attended church with them on Sunday for a special occasion as my grandson JAMES received the Aaronic priesthood last week and was able to pass the sacrament at church. Best part was getting a good bye hug from everyone as I left for the airport on Sunday evening and arrived home that night after a 40 minute flight much easier than a 4.5 hour drive to my chauffeur hubby and another hug. Also I won another award for a poem that took 3rd place and I got $20. Quite the weekend!

  1. You certainly WERE busy, Lin. But that's the best kind of busy a person can be. Glad you had such a great weekend. Congratulations on winning 3rd place and $20. Good work, my dear friend!

  2. Home at last... home at last. Hallelujah! She is home at last. I get a little antsy when you're out of town. Glad to have you back within reach.

    Also glad you had such an enjoyable visit up north with kith and kin.
