You have been eclipsed!

Bright and Golden saw the eclipse in totality as did Peter, Lucy and Andrew in North Carolina. Others might have seen it as well.  We watched it on our glider on the front lawn with the new baby William.  His parents were there too and his Uncle Adam.

My cousin, Lorna Kyle Boot, has a neighbor who is a professional photographer and did a time-lapse photo.  Which I have attached.

It made me think of how Jesus Christ is the light of the moon, and sun and stars. The universe is amazing, big and small.



Here's a note from Noah: "A big shout out to my Beaver fan club! I honestly felt like I was a celebrity with a fan club this week! I probably got more mail than my entire mission combined, it was awesome and I loved the art work! I am glad the reunion was a party, I will be there for the next celebratory beaver chant!!! Beavers one, beavers all!"  Maybe his new mascot for now is in the following photo.  His companion is the son of a family in our current ward.

Grandpa and Aunt Gwen and myself spent some time helping Martha clean up her apartment after the fire and explosion in the store room under her apartment.  It has been cleared by those in the know for her to move back in.  There was no residual smell, which is a great and good thing.  We went out to lunch and got a few new things to freshen up her place.  It was a small beaver party after all.  I made her a quick Pennsylvania Dutch barn hex.  They decorate the barns in Pennsylvania and other places where the Dutch have settled and have become an art form.  I designated my hex for Martha against moths and fires!  This is the freeform draft!

Everyone is back in school more or less.  Erica and Julia arrive in Provo on September 2nd to return to BYU. James A. and Rae are set up at their respective schools.  Peter will be doing an internship at Duke this year in their electrical engineering lab.  He helps the grad students with their research, etc.
