Ruby Tuesday: Once There Was A Snowman...

Now it's your turn...

Stack three golf balls on top of each other and have them stay standing for at least 3 seconds.

I did it in under 60 seconds...

Let me know how it goes!

Ruby Tuesday: Tackling Mishap

Yes we are huge BYU fans here at my house so I couldn't resist posting this and getting in that jab at U of U.

But somethimes I think this is how my life is.  I try to tackle a problem head on and end up trashing myself.

Ruby Tuesday: Old Steam Engine

(Look in the bottom left hand corner for the Ruby, it's there I promise!)

On a cloudy, chilly June afternoon, my family ventured out to Promontory Point State Park.  While we were there we watched a wonderful re-enactment of the driving of the golden spike.  It was fantastic!  I have never known much about steam engines, but I learned a lot that day.  We watched a fabulous little demonstration about the steam engines and saw how the Juniper and the other steam engines ran.

After watching the demonstrations in the drizzling rain we headed into the visitors center and watched a cute little Charlie Brown movie that told all about how the two big railroad companies met at Promontory Point, connecting America from coast to coast with a railroad.  The praise for the Chinese railroad workers touched me.  I was proud that in early American history we were able to share the spotlight with new immigrants.  I hope that my children learned as much as I did by visiting this great historical place.

Ruby Tuesday: Terrible Beauty

The last few weeks have served as a reminder for me to be grateful for my families safety. Fire is a such an uncontrollable force, it has a mind of it's own and it takes what it wants. The smoke here has finally started to dissipate as the flames have been forced into submission, but the memory of lost homes and forests will remain for a while longer.
Amidst all this tragedy the sun reminded me that there is beauty to be found in all things. I found that something can be beautiful and terrible at the same moment.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Sorry to those of you that visited me on Saturday.  I reused the same theme.  I didn't get out much this week.  Happy Ruby Tuesday!
