A nice LDS forum -- what a good find! I hope I can contribute, and enjoy the ambiance. Well, at least I'll enjoy it once I finish the festival I'm putting on at the end of April. Life resumes then.
God is the Gardener, but I try to grow a few goodies myself, although the weather this year has given us a late start. I sew, too, and occasionally cook, and try to do all the grandma things.
Welcome, and we look forward to your scintillating insights.

Well, we will expect you to provide us all the grandmotherly things we want and need... like giving loving grandmotherly smiles and freshly baked cookies with cold milk and home made bread on demand.
Welcome!

Welcome! I look forward to hearing more from you when the festival is over. I hope you tell us more about the festival and the planning of the festival.
fear of shiz -- how nice of you to ask! I guess I just like old things -- even before I turned into one!
My major in college was history, and I took a variety or courses, but I took all the undergrad courses in English and Russian history because I liked those professors best. For my senior project, we were to use primary sources, and I lived in Southern California then, so I did my project on the lds colony in San Bernardino. Long enough ago that there's much I don't remember about it, but I know that Brigham Young was disgusted when he came to see the group off -- there were many more headed to California than were called to go there. They worked hard selling building materials -- logs from the mountains to the settlers in Los Angeles -- so that they could pay for their land. When Johnston's army headed for Utah in 1857, the colonists were called back, and some went and some didn't.
