UTAH VACATION -- NEW BRIGHAM CITY TEMPLE, ETC.

 
We spent the month of September (my least favorite month in Arizona) in Utah this year. The weather was perfect, and we were doted on by family and friends. We love and appreciate them so very much. I was a little worried about being gone that long, but it was delightful. As part of that, Daryl had his 55th high school class reunion of which he was the chairman. It was very casual, and everyone seemed to enjoy time to visit and reconnect. He also got in some good rounds of golf and participated in a golf tournament.

A highlight was the opportunity to attend the Brigham City Temple Open House, the dedication and then a session on the second day it was open. It is absolutely beautiful in every detail. I will have to admit that like Elder Christensen talked about in his conference address, I was noticing all of the moldings, peach blossom motifs, beveled glass windows, marble floors, etc. I didn’t want to miss anything. We felt very blessed to be a part of all of those events.  We were also able to attend the Rexburg, Logan and Bountiful Temples.

We enjoyed peaches, corn and tomatoes practically every day.  Daryl and my sister, Norma.

The charm of Tremonton, Utah!
 
 
Our plants and flowers flourished while we were gone.  Below are a few pictures.  I will have to admit that I got carried away!
