The song mom would sing to me as she woke me up for school. The red part
is what she would sing as she opened my blinds. It was so hard to get up in high school!
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along, along,
There'll be no more sobbing when he starts throbbing
His own sweet song.
Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head,
Get up, get up, get out of bed,
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy.
What if I've been blue,
Now I'm walking through fields of flowers,
Rain may glisten, but I still listen for hours and hours.
I'm just a kid again, doing what I did again, singing a song,
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob bobbin' along.

The Decapitation
The piñata is a brightly-coloured paper container filled with sweets and/or toys. It is generally suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations. A succession of blindfolded, stick-wielding children try to break the piñata in order to collect the sweets (traditionally fruit, such as sugarcane) and/or toys inside of it. It has been used for hundreds of years to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas. (Wikipedia)
Pinata time!! Jeffrey was successful in decapitating the horse and unleashing the candy on Sunday, Sept. 9.

Working on Temple Square!
LDS Church Office Bldg, SLC. Photos by Ciro Abril
Fountain on Temple Square, by Ciro Abril
Temple Square never seems to get old. I work there almost everyday. The landscape makes working there seem very peaceful and spiritual. But that is not always true. I do, however, take it for granted. I forget that I work in a very pretty place sometimes.
When friends come to visit, I meet them down on temple square for a while. When I do, I stop thinking about the daily push to move projects through the Intellectual Property Office, and just relax and look around. It's then that I realize how pretty it is!!
