March 30, 2022 at 1:54 pmMy favorite memory with Polly was when we were in Mount Pleasant Canyon on four wheelers and her side-by-side. It was a spectacular fall day and I rode with her in her side-by-side following Leon and Sandy on four wheelers. The leaves were brilliant and it was an exhilarating day. I love Polly‘s love of nature and of adventure. I also admire how very courageous she was and how optimistic. Even when she was in pain or suffering, she didn’t complain but was optimistic. That is an incredible quality which I would love to develop in myself. I am so grateful for her and love her so much.
