Celebrating Pioneer Day!

Round here today is a holiday.  We celebrate the day the pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley with picnics, parades, pageants and parties.  This year is the 165th anniversary of their arrival.

 I made these goody bags for a few of my neighbors to celebrate the day.

I found the great old 'pioneer' boot on Graphics Fairy, of course.

So whether you have pioneers who crossed the plains in your heritage, I hope you will consider the amazing people who came before you, and have made your life amazing, because of the lives they lived.

Happy Pioneer Day to All!
