The Good Ole USA

We have been gone on a road trip to see our kids and grandkids that live in Kansas and Utah. It is amazing to watch the vastness of the American West pass by our windows. I have always known, since our family started traveling across the continent in 1956, that America was beautiful and largely unsettled. It remains the same. We figured out that the entire population of the USA would fit in Colorado, with each person having a fifth of an acre to himself. (of course, the terrain wouldn't allow for it, but STILL...this is a big country!) I am so grateful to be an American, and to be so blessed to have seen so much of it over the years.

Okay - you have inspired me. I have been wanting to start a blog for the longest time. I think it will be so neat to be able to look back and see what is going on. Love you!

Sorry to be so blunt, but could you possibly be my old friend Joy Reep from BYU????
If so, I would love to get in touch with you. If not, excuse the audacity to butt in.
