October turns into November

The majestic mountains make me grateful for our beautiful world. I love all the trails close to my home.

We had a wonderful big family celebration of my son-in-law Ken Taylor's birthday. Part of our group: My sons Peter, Marc and his wife Fernanda (her birthday the following day), Ken and Emily.

             Cole Deucher may have to leave behind his guitar and Halloween, and trade them in for missionary attire, hymns and the Day of the Dead, as he soon leaves for Aguas Calientes, Mexico.

Grandson Luke in his play-off football game. It was cold and rainy! But the Carlston family came out in force. At the left is not my son-in-law Pete, but his identical twin brother Dave, in case you are wondering.

My house is to the left, on the street parallel to University Avenue (above) Below is Center Street Orem coming into University.

 "Beyond Van Gogh" was an amazing show: paintings and quotes,life descriptions projected on the walls, ceiling and floor of the museum in Salt Lake City. Grand-daughter Phoebe resisted going, but ended up totally enthralled with the shifting, swirling, changing lights and vibrant colors. I have always loved his paintings.

             It would be hard not to feel joyful with this experience!

If you like Van Gogh, here are some more photos (I couldn't get enough!)

 Ademas, las citaciones son en espanol tambien!
