July 24 Pioneer Day

Today is Pioneer Day here in Salt Lake City. I love this holiday. I had very good intentions of having my first annual Pioneer day party for my grandkids and little nieces & nephews....WHAT HAPPENED. I didn't pull it together. I wanted them to hear the pioneer stories of our great ancestors that walked across the plains. I feel a great love and appreciation for these people and wanted them to develop that same love. I wanted them to hear about Elizabeth Mitchell, and Elizabeth Horrocks. About the Langford’s and the Winegars....so many of my progenitors have stories to tell of coming across the plains. Well it may not be the exact day, but by golly I'm still going to have my little party and sing the old primary songs, eat pioneer food and wear bonnets!!! I'll even let them help me in my garden.....
