"You fill up my senses...

like a night in a forest...

like a mountain in springtime...

like a walk in the rain..."

.............

These words describe how I feel about

Family and Family History...

...............
Is it any wonder why I wanted to

re-assemble (finally) my 'heritage room'

in the cabin...

...in the forest...

...where there are mountains...

...and it rains...

The Bowman-Wolford 6-Generation

Picture Pedigree Wall

....displayed with my mother's 65 yr old wedding dress...

...more 'old' family pics...

...and still more...

(Rusty is the artist for the 'Joseph Smith' sketch)

....awesome...isn't it???

...original LDS Church buildings in Colonia Dublan...

(sketched by Jennie R. Bowman)

Grandpa Weco went to elementary school in the RS building and I attended school in the big church until the 3rd grade...

... 3 important temples in our family...

Mesa Arizona - Colonia Juarez - Salt Lake City

...music is definitely a big part of our heritage...

"Music is well said to be the speech of angels."

-Thomas Carlyle

(vinyl to come later)

I feel even more 'at home' now that I have my immediate and my eternal family around me...

...on the way home I took a couple of scenic photos...

I think I finally appreciate the beauty of Arizona...
...even the rocks...

...I tried to take a picture of the city lights...

...I think I need to stop and get out of the car next time...
