presented with a beautiful ring with her birthstone in it. Mother had many favorite sayings which stayed with us all of our lives and taught a moral. Some of them are: "A bird cannot out-fly its tail", "A bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush", "There is many a slip between the cup and the Lip", "Honest is the best Policy", "Idleness is the devils' Workshop", "An empty barrel makes a lot of Noise", and "Don't count your chickens before they're Hatched". Her sons and daughters often heard mother say: "Boys flying kites can pull in their white winged birds, But you can't do that when flying words. Careful with matches is good advice you know, But careful with words are 10 times doubly so. Words unexpressed will oft times fall back dead, But God Himself can't take them back when once their said. Mother delighted in the beauties of nature. She took special pride in the flower garden to the right side of the walk leading to the house. The large area south of the family home was planted in grass excepting where her son Orion had planted peonies. The peony colors were white, vivid pink and deep red. Orion also planted roses and a variety of garden flowers. All thrived with his tender care. When he was honorably released from military duty after World War I, he continued tending to the garden until he was transferred with his work at South Pacific Railroaded to the company headquarters in San Francisco. For fifty years, the peonies produced their beauty. Around Memorial Day, Mr. Sherratt, who owned a flower shop, would come to buy peonies for his needs. Also, others came to buy these peonies. Even in her eighties Mother would be pulling weeds in her garden. Mother taught her children and grandchildren to weed the garden and other chores of work. Mother's homemade ice cream was a treat enjoyed when relatives and friends gathered under the grape arbor. Many of the grandchildren, Brent, Dennis, Jerry and Lowell, remember taking turns turning the ice cream freezer. Bishop Miles Jones (later Patriarch) would bring a bowl to buy ice cream for his wife Isabelle and himself. Mother delighted in socializing as duties permitted. In her later years, she so enjoyed meeting with the birthday group she helped to organized. The members consisted of her sisters living in Ogden, her sisters-in-laws, daughters-in-laws, nieces, and a few special neighbors. Members also brought their choice friends who also joined the group. When anyone had a birthday, they would be host for the occasion. Members would bring one of their favorite food items to add to the host's preparations. They always asked Mother to bring her special applesauce cake. What made it so tasty was that she used black walnuts from the tree in the back of her home. When her grandchildren living with her needed something to do, she would have them take the outer covering off the nuts so the nuts could dry for future use.
