Reminiscing in spades

This post is really being written just for me.

I had a couple experiences today that were really amazing when they produced feelings of my childhood and reasons I am glad to have recollections of the good times of former days. It all started when I saw a YouTube video of some horses.

This conjured up memories of great times in Castle Valley riding horses bareback with my brother Gregg. We were just young pups at the time, and the wild horses in the valley were beautiful and enormous, just like these. Great times and wonderful memories.



Then I experienced another memory with a classic music video from Josh Groban. When I watched it play, I was reminded of working on the homestead with my dad to situate our home in Castle Valley and position farm equipment all around the property.



These videos and tunes bring back a few of the cherished memories that mean so much to me today. Castle Valley was the pivotal experience of my youth, and I have shared stories of that ocassion many times with all of you.

Now we are making our own family memories like baseball and soccer and bike riding and hiking and camping and going on trips together. I am so glad I get to do that with all of you! Yes. This post is really a way for me to express my appreciation and recognize the bounteous blessings I have been so fortunate to enjoy.



I have a lot more memories of you and our family together. That means the world to me now. I'm so glad we get to do it again this Thanksgiving.

It's my way of saying thank you for sharing your wonderful lives with me--little 'ole me.

I love you
