An incomplete, somewhat tangential slide show of photos of my home and some of the experiences I shared there.
Beautiful family, incredible neighbors and friends, cute and precious puppies, a huge remodel, the loss of my nephew, brother and Mom, but also-
LOVE and total grace and gratitude for the people, feelings and life I had while living on Devereaux Way, in Salt Lake City, UT.

The cutest next door neighbor and the BEST, most loving
neighborhood, fun and gracious friends, a gaggle of family members, all that became beloved, lasting and forever friends.

Fun neighborhood, and the best bathroom ever!!!
I miss my tub and shower. : (

HEAVEN

WORDS AND MUSIC By: Mary Chapin Carpenter


Nothing shatters nothing breaks
Nothing hurts and nothing aches
We've got ourselves one helluva place
in my heaven.

Looking down at the world below
A bunch of whining, fighting schmo's
Up here we've got none of those, in my heaven.

There's pools and lakes and hills and mountains
Music, art, and lighted fountains
Who needs bucks here, no one's counting
In my heaven.

No one works, we all just play
We pick the weather everyday
If you change your mind, that's ok,
in my heaven.

Grandma's up here, Grandpa too
In a condo with to-die-for views
There's presidents and movie stars
You just come as you are.

No one's lost and no one's missing
No more parting just hugs and kissing
And all these stars are just for wishing
In my heaven.

There's little white lights everywhere
Your childhood dog in Dad's old chair.
And more memories than my heart can hold
When Eva's singing "Fields of Gold"

There's neighbors, theives and long lost lovers
Villains, poets, kings and mothers
Up here we forgive each other,
in my heaven.

For every soul that's down there waiting,
Holding on, still hesitating
We say a prayer of levitating,
In my heaven.

You can look back at your life and lot
But it can't matter what you're not
By the time you're here, we're all we've got
In my heaven
In my heaven
In my heaven"

--Mary Chapin Carpenter
