Today...


Sunset over Sierra Nevada Mountain Range... FOR Sierra <3


How fragile life is, how certain death ...

Every thoughtful person has asked himself
the question best phrased by Job of old:
"If a man die, shall he live again?"
Try as we might to put the question
out of our thoughts, it always returns.
Death comes to all mankind.
It comes to the aged as they walk on faltering feet.
Its summons is heard by those who
have scarcely reached midway in life's journey.
At times it hushes the laughter of little children.

... We do not know when we will be
required to leave this mortal existence.
And so I ask, "What are we doing with today?"

Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang!  In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
