Welcome Home

Happy Day 16

David spent the last four months in Seattle working for Three Form Light Art. It was a great opportunity to intern for such a well-respected and innovative company. He drove home today - 842 miles - 11 hours. It is so good to have him here. 

He bought a Boreas tent - a cool new design. David makes our home much more fun. Love him. 

Garden Tomatoes

Happy Day 15

I love freshly harvested garden tomatoes - a fine and wonderful delicacy. We have a bounteous crop this year!

The Garden of Eden

Happy Day 14

A perfect night hitting a few with my personal pro. I'm beginning to enjoy this game! 

School Shopping

Happy Day 13

One of my favorite traditions is school shopping. When I was a teenager, I ventured to Salt Lake City from Ogden and spent happy hours exploring Adrian and Emilie, Makoffs, the Paris, Auerbachs, ZCMI and William B. Woods. 

I loved taking my children shopping and lunching before school began. Now it is my pleasure to take my beautiful, smart and sweet granddaughters. It's so wonderful to be their BB!

Home Tour

Happy Day 12

I have always loved beautiful homes and gardens. My dear friend, Jodi Wood, took me to see an exquisite estate - the most beautiful home I've ever encountered. Rochelle Warner, designer extraordinaire, was there to give us a private tour. We spent a very happy afternoon appreciating every detail of this unique property - such a feast for the eyes. 

Standing Alone

Happy Day 11

Annie and I shared a fun night traveling to Provo. We drove past the old Provo Tabernacle which is being renovated to become a temple. It was cloudy and rainy  - Angel Moroni was so beautiful and strong, standing alone amidst the turbulent sky. 

 Annie forwarded me this photo and quote:

"The angel Moroni stands atop the temple as a shining symbol of our faith. In a degenerate society he remained pure and true. He is my hero. He stood alone. He stands alone today, beckoning us to have courage, to remember who we are, to "arise and shine forth", to rise above the worldly clamor and to, as Isaiah prophesied, 'Come to the Mountain of The Lord - the Holy Temple."

      --Elaine Dalton

We all stand alone at times and can do hard things. 

Thank you Annie for your example friendship, and love of the temple. 

Birthday Bests

Happy Day 10

Dear friends planned a birthday hike for Liz, Ann and me. The scenery in Millcreek Canyon (Bowman Fork Trail) was spectacular and the after hike brunch was delicious. I love these forever friends.
