The scenery sure has changed. Good old Ohio– rolling and green. Wild flowers and trees everywhere you look. Getting excited to be HOME tonight. My sweater is about half way done even though I just had to rip out 6 rows. It has kept me occupied, but I was hoping I'd be a lot further by now…-

Doing this to Bananaphone is pretty good too.

Fist pump out the window: guaranteed to make a road trip 20-40 percent better. Especially when the song is "Livin on a Prayer." http://semi-rad.com/2011/07/make-your-road-trip-40-percent-better-with-fist-pump-out-the-window/

Yesterday at Nauvoo was full of handcart pulling, dancing to the bagpipes (with cute dressed up boys), the temple, and the pageant. Someday we'll come back with more time to spend. Feeling so full of gratitude for the enormous sacrifices those early saints made.
