I love quotes! I collect quotes that really touch me in some way. Some of my favorite ones are:

"We come to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by leaning to see an imperfect person perfectly." Sam Keen

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." Carl Bard

"Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it."

"Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces to their hearts." Martin Buxbaum

" I have not failed. I have merely found ten thousand ways that won't work." Thomas Edison

We had our winter uniforms and summer ones. Our poor moms had to make them all. The white one was obviously for summer. We lead the marching band in the summer parades. What would Pioneer Day be without a band and majorettes? Becky Busteed is on the left, then me in the middle and Betty Miller on the right.

These are some pictures that I don't think even my kids have seen. They are of me as a sophomore. I was a majorette and can still throw a baton pretty high and catch it as it spins. We used to perform at basketball and football games and did the flag ceremony at each one. Where did those legs go???? I still look like this on the inside and in my mind.

This is a picture of my parents at the junior prom in Cowley, Wyoming in 1946. They have been together for almost 60 years now.

This is one of my favorite pictures ever. It is my grandmother Hope Ballard Eyre. She was a crack shot and would hunt rabbits to help feed the family in Cowley, Wyoming.
