Sweet Home Utah-bama

It had come time for me to look for a place of my own.

Peg was in charge of a very large junior league cheer squad. One more added pressure and less time to do things. Glory came to visit and relieve the stress on Peggy.

We rounded up a newspaper, circled a few apartments I could afford, if the government chipped in. We wanted them close enough to Peg, so she could help me when needed. Crossing our fingers, Glory loaded me up and we headed out. We ended up going to every single place on our list and found them dilapidated, broken down or just falling apart. I really couldn't afford them anyway, if I wanted to feed my family. We were very discouraged driving home.

At home Peg waited to hear good news, but there was none to deliver.

Suddenly Glory's eye's brightened and she said,"I know what to do. I own the house next door to me. Mer, you move back to Utah, and I'll take my turn helping you now. I'll charge rent in an amount you can afford. I can be there for you and the kids when needed." "What a blessing!" I thought.

It was settled Utah was to be our home.

He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

I am blessed
