Meet Grand-baby Avery!
I am so behind on posting all the new happenings. One of the best things this summer was the arrival of Avery Mila Harrison. Isn’t she a doll? Her middle name is after my maternal grandmother, Hermila Lidia Salinas Alba. She went by Mila (MEE-la). Gideon and I were able to go and visit a […]
The Merchant and the Rogue by Sarah M. Eden – A Book Review
Last week I listened to “The Healer” by Gregg Luke on my Deseret Bookshelf app. I laughed when I heard the following, “There was the usual assortment of medical books and journals, but he also noticed a number of fictional works, particularly those of Emily Brontë, Jane Austin, Elizabeth Browning, and Sarah Eden.” (chapter 32) […]

Enchiladas: A Taste of Home
Onions, cheese, chili, and tortillas are the smells and tastes that I associate with home. Though small and simple they may be, they are important to me because they belong in my family and home.

What’s Up with the Wadsworths? Part 2: November
I forgot to mention in the last post that my brother-in-law built a hay maze out of really old bales. It is surprisingly complex and made for some great fun, both in the maze and on top jumping bales.
