I've never seen such even rows. Very impressive! What day of the week do you serve in the Gila Valley Temple? We would love to come back sometime.Nedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900971315865986311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-1684912807956951642012-06-20T10:12:10.166-06:002012-06-20T10:12:10.166-06:00I'm fairly new to your blog, but have been gla...I'm fairly new to your blog, but have been glad to discover it. We live here in the Gila Valley and my husband is a cotton grower. Some of those fields you passed on your way in to town were ours! I also serve in our Gila Valley Temple, and President Kimball was a personal family friend of my grandparents. So I especially related to this blog entry. Come back & see us sometime!Jan H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16463371892881288582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-76265960726557766862012-06-20T10:11:01.461-06:002012-06-20T10:11:01.461-06:00Neat to see Pres.

I...I've followed your blog for quite some time. I'm so impressed with your quilts, the quilts of others you showcase, and how well you express your love for the gospel. I have lived in the Gila Valley all my life (in fact our family has been here for 5 generations) and was excited to read your post this morning. I hope you can make it back in the fall when those cotton fields are "white already to harvest." Many a missionary serving here have sent pictures home with them standing in the cotton fields.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904409246656577132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951113590088914038.post-74779592177910062722012-06-19T06:42:30.693-06:002012-06-19T06:42:30.693-06:00Just wait...

Interesting what we find out when we get out to explore. My nephew and his wife have lived in Phoenix for about the same amount of time as you and your husband have and I think the only things they have seen are stores and clubs! they do not plan to have children and are in their late 30's they do not seem to be interested in seeing historic things or places of interest just places to shop and drink!<br />KarenKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.com
