Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

New picture
Scroll down past the picture of the mountain road to see a picture with my nephew Alec. He is an amazing person. He knows so much about technology! I am always impressed. And he likes to read philosophy with me. He loves comedy, and just had me watch an episode of Freaks and Geeks, which I have to say, was pretty funny. I will post the url to his myspace account so you can check out his blog. He has a lot more pictures and stuff than I do. A really great thing about Alec is that he is unafraid to let you see who he really is and that is pretty neat, I think. I just love him a ton. I added another, more recent picture of Alec, it's actually before the picture of the mountain road.

Yeah alec is a neat guy and he has some neat hair. I don't have the ability he has when it comes to not cutting my hair. It gets to my ears and I have to cut it off. So which mountain road in utah?
ReplyDeleteThis is the road off of which my car got stuck, so the mountains behind Provo. I think it's called Sheep Creek. But this is from the year before I got stuck, from 2006.

ReplyDeleteAlec has always been one of my favorite people. In fact, he vies for first favorite person much of the time. I first noticed his comedic genius when he would dramatically pretend to fall off the sofa table. "I'm falling, I'm falling," he would say as he purposefully and slowly descended 24 inches to the floor.
He had this great energy from the beginning. I just adored him. As he learned more about language, reading even, he got into more sophisticated dialogs; all to bring about a punchline. It was what he lived for 83% of the time. He use to have conversations with me that I would respond to for a few minutes before I realized we were "enacting" Calvin and Hobbes.
I still laugh hardest and deepest when my clever son, Alec, is around. Love, Mom
P.S. I, too, love that Alec is true to himself. I look forward to getting to know him more thoroughly as the years go on.
I wish the picture of Katie driving was bigger so I could see it alot better. How cool. I would also like that picture for my screen. The others are great too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I saw your post, Mom, I almost forgot to email you the picture of Katie! Sorry it's so small on this page.
