A month ago I posted about my learning the Idaho state song in elementary school and singing it every time I enter the Gem State. I am not alone in that ritual. I was intrigued by this Family History Moment, written by Alaura Ramsey of Eagle, Idaho, on the back page of last weekend's Church News:
"My sister Debbie and I picked up my father from the airport. He was coming to town to attend his extended Mink family reunion. As he walked out the doors into the open air he began to sing loudly, 'And Here We Have Idaho!' It is the state song he learned in elementary school. I smiled. I turned my head, looked at him and thought, 'I love you.' . . . (Church News, May 16, 2009, 16).
My passions in life include my faith in God, my family, American history, and a good road trip.

Brrrrr . . .
It's springtime. The temperatures are rising. The air-conditioner is on. And I'm freezing. Time to get out the sweaters and mittens.

Ben makes front page of newspaper
Splashed across the front page of this morning's Deseret News [May 16] is a picture of Ben and his mom. It accompanies an article on online schooling.
The picture was taken by Kristin Murphy of the Deseret News. The caption read: "Ben Cleverly, 8, cuts out a drawing of a horse to make a jigsaw puzzle as his mom, Carisa Holden, watches in their Lehi home."
