It Was Bound to Happen

Let the winter driving begin....

Book Group

Loved this book. Love the ladies in my book group. Loved the English Toffee Sticky Pudding that was served. Love to read a good book.

Characters

My girls really love Halloween. I think they really like the chance to be someone/something else for a day. Always fun to see what they come up with. (Court was Max from "Where the Wild Things Are", Cammy-a snow leopard, Coryn-a French mime, and Caitlyn- the redhead "Scooby-Do0" girl...can't recall her name.)

Is It November Already?

Some days I feel like this. Especially when I look at my calendar and realize too many things are coming up quickly. I feel this way when I get unorganized and when the clutter piles up and the things-to-do list gets way too long. All I really want to do is curl up in a blanket and read a good book. Perhaps I will...

Happy Haunting

When witches go riding
And black cats are seen
The moon laughs and whispers,
'Tis near Halloween.
(19th Century Poem)

It's Homecoming!

I love living in a University Town. "Cougar Town" to be correct. The energy of the students is contagious. As an alumna it is always fun to visit campus. I graduated 25 years ago yet I still feel like a freshman whenever Homecoming rolls around.

This year is exciting for our family because Court did an internship this summer storyboarding the Homecoming Spectacular ( a performance honoring a "FOUNDER" of the University and showcasing all the feature performing groups.) This year's founder is Eugene Roberts (1916) who, among his many achievements founded the athletic department, labeled the athletes "Cougars", promoted the building of the women's gymnasium, started the recreational leadership program and nurtured some world-class athletes. He brought social dance and the intermural program to BYU.

This year's theme: "Reach the Summit" is a reflection of Robert's great love of the mountains, particularly Mount Timpanogoes. He established the Timp Hike and named the trailhead Aspen Grove.

Court was able to hike to the summit of Timp along with the cast and crew for the film segments. Read her account and see her photos here.
