Daughters of Utah Pioneers LECTURE

Spent a fun Saturday morning with hubby at our DUP Museum in town for a fascinating lecture by a very talented Navaho weaver, author and grandmother GINNY SPARKS who was born and raised on the reservation, and spent time in BIA Indian schools. She shared her lifestyle growing up with us.So interesting! We ended this fun day together with lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant in town Paulas.

A beautiful small rug she is weaving for her grand dg.

She does it all from processing the wool, dying
it different colors then spinning it all by hand. 

As a fifth generation Navaho, she shared her  beliefs &
unique lifestyle, attended college-became a nurse. Now
writes children's books about her life to share her journey.

Where is the TIME going to?

I mostly post daily on FACEBOOK so my blog gets neglected but here we are in mid-November getting ready for the THANKSGIVING holidays and new adventures to be announced soon. Today was our Relief Society activity day featuring homemade soups and brownies and lots of fun conversations in a "Friendship , Fellowship, Food & Fun get together. 

Fun table decor with flowers listing a conversation topic

So many homemade soups & brownies

We were assigned tables to sit at in order to met new people.

We could go back for seconds.

Thanks to our Enrichment Committee
