Life's Moving Along Quickly

Just returned from a trip to visit family in Northern Utah and attend a Poetry leadership meeting plus attend an Icelandic Genealogy conference. A whirl of activity-enjoyable but exhausting. Think I may have to slow down a little now that I'm 75! Lots of memories from BYU starting 55 years ago!

BYU folk dancers entertained us, I danced once in this group.

Loved the Irish dancers

We had planed a picnic but instead ate our food inside the car watched by a hawk.

Butterfly lake-one of many on our way home, inviting to boaters.
