Well, that was a lucky guess.

Our country has some laudable traditions of people helping people. Today I'm thinking of resistance in the face of unpopular or unjust laws. You know, like The Underground Railroad helping people escape enslavement. Let's bring that America back.

After a morning romp through the freshly fallen snow, and a long thawing out, Finn looks out on his winter playground, anticipating when he can run again.

In a weird twist of luck, my wife and I both guessed the same second to last word, making the correct word the only possible answer.

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

@curlyred96 That was a particularly mean one.

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

@curlyred96 @hankgreen It must have been the sock fairy

It was wild guess

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

So this email came out about stake conference next week. Yeah, let’s just pretend COVID isn’t a thing.

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

@Keepapitchinin Yes. I have received five such books over the last six years. I can’t bring myself to throw them away. I gave the first two to my son to draw in. Now even he doesn’t want them.

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

I can’t help but think of how weird it is for a technology company to give to employees blank notebooks with corporate branding on it. I mean, we’re trying to go paperless. And it would odd to use them for anything else.

Conasauga Falls.

So she must have been John A. Widtsoe’s wife.

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

Among my parents’ things was this tote bag like thing. It is hand stitched. I found it striking and there were two names at the bottom J A Motsoe & L D Widtsoe. I haven’t had any luck finding them in Family Search. Do you think I got the spelling right?

[TennMormonHistorian @AMHBruce]

LD Widtsoe appears to have written two books. The Life Story of Brigham Young (New York: Macmillan Books, 1930) & How to be Well (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1943)
