What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Central Park with Jesse and New Playground

The new playground at Central Park is almost magical.

This arch is musical.  It plays music when you walk under it.  You walk side to side and it will play a scale.

Fire Station Mural, Kingman Arizona

 This mural is on the side of the fire station at Andy Devine/Route 66 and Harrison Street in Kingman.  I have driven past many times but finally noticed the mural.  Best seen driving south on Harrison.  It depicts typical fire fighting scenes and historical fire fighting equipment.
