It has been so long....
I couldn't even remember how to do a post! And my pictures won't move, so you'll just have to forgive me. Terri's blog did inspire me to try anyway.

It is great the Lord blesses family members with different talents. I love music, and probably hear and appreciate differently than my siblings. I am a horrible artist though, and don't see subtle differences that I pick up when listening or performing music. But Terri has a way of seeing and pointing out remarkable beauty in things I may just see as simple.
For example, Steve and I were able to actually go to the Grand Canyon and see it this weekend. About 30 years ago when we were in high school, Bonnevaires took a trip to Phoenix and stayed at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on the way.
The only problem was it was in April, and we didn't arrive until after dark because of busses having to stop often for sick students :), and then we left early in the morning before the fog had lifted! So for years we've told people we had been to the Grand Canyon, but never saw it.

Well, on our trip with Terri and Greg, we travelled to the North Rim where we were able to see the Grand views of the Canyon, and view a sunset. It wasn't quite what I expected! I was expecting the usual beautiful colors of the sky during sunsets, but it would have never occured to me to watch the sunlight creep up the walls of the canyon, lighting different peaks and crags along the way. It was great to see Terri be in "Photographer's Heaven" and I can't wait to see the photos she gets. I'm posting one that I took with her old "point and shoot" that lets you see what I'm talking about!
Since I've lost it twice, and can't seem to move it once I've added it, I'll do another post with the picture.
