Last from Utah

Tony said lets have a walk tonight .......So of we went and came across a whole Park lit up with ....... Yes Fairy Lights!!!!!
Oh how gorgeous lucky I had my Camera.
The night was just perfect ........ not to cold at all ....... So many people out walking as well. Lovely.
When we arrived back Tony said lets go up on the outside lift......... Am I brave enough? I'm not that good with heights
But I was brave and up we went to the twelth floor ......our room was actually on the sixth floor....I held on till my little knuckles were white ...... but I did it.
Tony took a photo from inside the lift.
We are now back in Seattle ....good flight and lovely to see family again.
I as usual put on my ipod and again put it on Shuffle as explained before it plays whatever I have...... I didn't put it to my ears straight away as I was to busy looking at the scenery below of Utah..... With a tinge of sadness.
When I put the plugs in my ears....guess what came on again ..... The Mormon Tabernacle at the end of a song so all I heard was Amen and Amen.......so fitting.....then on came Doris Day .....which was great it made me bop in my seat and gave me a happy feeling.

The first picture is of women who followed the Saviour with the Disciples ....wherever He would go they would also...I can imagine that

Two pictures I loved

From inside the Con.......Centre both originals.

AnotherSpecial day

It was such a special experience being in the Temple...... We were just so impressed with the decor.......just sitting there and taking Everything in......... No photo's today but memories that will be in our hearts and souls ...... We kimd of sat around taking in the scenery at different points...... We are so grateful to Naomi and Luke for suggesting this whole experience......oh and yes I did go back to Deseret Books....... So glad I did as I found out that I had substantial amount in Credit through an awards programme which I didn't know I had.

Marvelous Day

Who would have thought that Tony and I would have been able to go to SLC together. If I think back just months ago I would never have dreamed such a blessing.......
We started the day of with a wonderful breakfast and off we went to......Deseret Books ...... Tony was so kind to let me browse at my leisure ....which was such a joy to me..... Yes I bought a book or two....
We then went to the Tabernacle to listen to a Organ Recital ......oh I just closed my eyes when Come Come Ye Saints was played......I thought of all the Prophets who had sat in those chairs. In the Tabernacle...... The sound that came from that Organ was something else......he demonstrated how you could even hear a pin drop
Without a microphone......you could hear it as clear as could be.....oh yes the Lord surely had a hand in the building......the same with the Conference Centre......I had to take a picture of the chairs that the Presidency sit in......funny hey but it was so significant to us.....Actually the first photo isof the Centre.
The painting is an original that used to belong to Napoleon .....it is of Joseph interpreting the Butlers dream in the Old Testament....
We saw many original paintings and sculptures quite magnificent they are all housed in the Centre.....
I loved the bronze Statue of The Father and the Son appearing to Joseph Smith Our guide then turned the Statue around and you see the Father had his arm around the Son......very moving.
We also went to the Theatre and saw Joseph Smith the Prophet......The Church knows how to move people it was so inspiring.
The Visitors Centre was so well done you could actually see the inside of the Temple and what rooms there are... We never knew that there is such a large Assembly Room taking up the fifth and sixth floor in the Temple ...... used for special meetings when called upon from the Prophet .....many many chairs very interesting......
What a day we came home to our room fulfilled and exhausted....
Tomorrow we go into the Temple.
Be wonderful.
Promised Tony no more Deseret Book looking!!!!!! Hhhhmmmmm

In Utah

Well here we are in a place that I could have only ever dreamed about seeing again.
As we were descending I had my ipod on and on shuffle.... So whatever I had on my playlist would come on....was I ever surprised ..... as I saw the ground of SLC .... On came The Mormon Tabernacle Choir.....I was so moved that tears filled my eyes.... And a myriad of emotions filled my soul.
I have spent the afternoon laying in bed......getting over a headache.......
For some reason I get very anxious going through Customs........ Don't know why..... But pretty full on panic attacks......much better once I'm inside and in the air...... So Tony went for a long walk around Temple Square.....which we will do again tomorrow.
It is VERY cold here and snow is on the ground which of course we had to stand in.
We feel very blessed and grateful..... We have a new grandbaby coming any day another in several months and another coming soon from Tonga......who will be part of us as if he were born to our family. We are blessed to have 18 Grandkids each one as precious as the other.
And now we are here...even if it is for a short time which is fine.
