Introduction to my blog

This blog will combine many of my interests. I am, first and most important, a mother of seven wonderful children, grandmother of three handsome boys, mother in law of two wonderful "in-law" children, as well as a teacher by profession, a quilter as a hobby, pianist, reader, writer (on occasion), and survivor of 22 LDS Young Womens' Camps. My goal with this blog is to combine these interests into an opportunity to share with you my thoughts, feelings, and creations, as well as any interesting trivia that may come my way.

The title for this blog comes from an experience the third time I attended Young Womens' Camp. As I sat on the riverbank with another sister serving there, I realized that we were in a place that could be likened to a scripture from the Book of Mormon. Ever since that day, I can't drive past the camp without thinking of this scripture.

"And it came to pass that all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise forever." Mosiah 18:30
