Great Grandparents Graves

In Idaho I found my great, great grandparent's grave.

Their birthdays are this week. I know they were brave.

They left England and to loved ones, they did wave.

Thanks to their example, their posterity tried to behave.

 On a quiet hill in the Skinner family cemetery, of southeastern Idaho, my great and great, great grandparents have patiently waited for their posterity to come.  We did, this weekend to discover these beautiful headstones and learned of their sacrifices and faith.   We visited sites along the way in Providence and Logan, Utah; also, Paris and Nounan, Idaho, towns where they lived, worked and spent time in.

I imagined they followed along with us, were at each location,  perhaps prodding us forward, helping us find our way.   Someone pointed out the long forgotten graveyard.  Through farm fields, we drove

then walked through wet grass to  reach the spot.   A dozen or so graves stood tall waiting for us. 

 Their first cabin isn't far from the cemetery.

What an exciting day. 

Grantsville Softball and Senior Night

Grantsville girl's state softball is today.
Catcher, Brayle, & three other seniors play.
They're hoping for a win, but come what may.
These gals are awesome in every way!!

 The rest of the team give the seniors a gift.  These fun yellow softballs with their names and numbers on are really cool. 

 Brayle, Mom, Dad and the coaches pose for pictures.   So fun. 

 The seniors also have a poster made of them.   Here's Brayle standing by her poster. with her last name on it, in uniform.   How cool is that? 

Home run, Brayle Crosman. Her 7th this year.
Leads the region in them. Let's all give a cheer

Well the Grantsville varsity won their first state game with Juan Diego, 12-2 in five innings.   Brayle is being congratulated for her home run.  She has seven this year and leads the region.  She is ranked in the state, too.  

Mango Madness

We've all seen wild and crazy hairdos, right?
This one pictured, looks like it has the blight. 
Even fruit can have an attitude with fright.
Here's my mango man standing tall with might.

I love mangoes and making it have an attitude, just seemed like the thing to do.  Then I ate it.  Yum!
