This day (July 24th) is actually a holiday here in Utah. As far as I know there aren't many other places in the country where libraries and campus buildings and some businesses close on July 24th. But, it happens in Utah. It has was a really nice break, and I'm grateful for that. I got some cleaning and organizing today. Plus, a good friend came to visit. That was nice. :)
Also, I'm grateful for my pioneer ancestors. I'm aware of a few ancestors from my mother's side that were among the Mormon pioneers who crossed the Great Plains to the Salt Lake Valley back in the mid-1800s. Some came all the way from Switzerland or Germany, as far as I know. I am grateful for their sacrifices and their examples of faith and trust in the Lord through every trial they had.
Happy Pioneer Day!
