"Learn from the Past ~ Each of us has a heritage—whether from pioneer forebears, later converts, or others who helped shape our lives. This heritage provides a foundation built of sacrifice and faith. Ours is the privilege and responsibility to build on such firm and stable footings." Thomas S Monson

We went to visit the Brigham Young home Sunday afternoon after church. The original section of the home, was designed by Miles Romney and the addition was designed by his son.

This two story home is lovely and has so many lovely architectural features ~ these are a few of my favorites.
 |
| This beautiful fireplace was painted to look like marble. |
 |
| Many meals for many guests were cooked in this tiny kitchen. |
 |
| This bookcase/secretary is where Brigham Young wrote many sermons and letters. |

When we arrived at the Jacob Hamblin home, I saw these lovely rose hollyhocks alongside some purple ones and thought in my mind how I would love to have some seeds to start some at home. After our tour, one of the guides, reached down into the flowers and then turned to me and said, "Would you like some seeds from these hollyhocks?" I was just filled with joy and thought, "another tender mercy!" I love how Heavenly Father shows his love in so many ways.

| Beautiful quilts on every bed |
 |
| One of my favorite areas, this great room was where the children gathered for school, the women would spin, weave and sew and the family gathered to read scriptures.. |
