After a long afternoon of working out, I returned to the apartment and found a package for me in the mail. As I couldn't remember ordering anything lately, I wondered what on earth it could be. Then I looked at the return address and saw the name of a lovely lady from my church (ward) back home. Still wondering what it could possibly be, I opened the box to find the cutest, most amazing gift ever--a handmade quilt with blocks decorated by the primary children in my ward.

As I pulled it out, tears sprang to my eyes and I was overcome with a feeling of love, not just for these little children but for their leaders, my friends, who took the time to put the project together so beautifully. I wish the picture did the quilting justice but it is absolutely fabulous (Marilyn, I think you rock). Each block is something about Colorado such as: mountains, sunshine, flowers, the Colorado flag, rivers, camping, fishing, something that could be a watermelon and even an Igwanidon (sic), Colorado's state dinosaur--how cute is that??!!
It is on my bed and I am feeling the love--just had to share it. :)

(Editorial note: Plus this gift came on my 27th wedding anniversary--Happy Anniversary Rheid. I love you!)
