Three Days in June

 

Fiction  Audiobook

I have found a new author that I enjoy.  This is the kind of novel I enjoy: simple, all about characters.  I will be seeking more Anne Tyler books.

President Russell M. Nelson Passes Away

 Our dear prophet, President Russell M. Nelson passed away shortly after his 101st birthday.  We will miss his cheery, positive disposition and his mantras that give us words to live by.   On our family text, Kristen asked us to share which teaching of President Nelson had most affected our lives.  Many were shared:

• Specific instructions on how to pray
• Teachings about the temple and how to find Jesus Christ there
• Teachings on how to receive revelation
• One child wrote: he taught me to pray in the name of Christ and to pray sincerely.
• So much about temples
• Be kind and serve others (our youngest grandchild's response.  And she does it!)
• Temples are a refuge.
• From one of our teenagers: Think Celestial
• Be a peacemaker
• Prepare for the 2nd coming

And there are so many more. We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet!

Park City

 During our September temple maintainence and cleaning closure, we enjoyed a week in Park City, Utah.  We were so blessed to hit the peak of autumn leaves color perfectly.  It was so beautiful.  I've included a lot of pictures- probably too many- but you should see how many I deleted!

We drove up to Guardsman Pass to leaf peep (with a lot of other people!)  

As soon as we got back to the hotel, Ken knelt to thank Heavenly Father for the beauties we saw that day.  I took a picture because his thankful heart is so precious to me.

The next day, he drove up to Brighton to meet up with the Prince family to hike and see more beauty.  They had such a wonderful day! 

The next day, we went down to South Jordan to attend church with the Prince family and attend their Primary program.  

Brian is the Primary music leader and the ward music chairman.  He does a marvelous job.  He accompanied the children on "I Wonder When He Comes Again."  I took a picture of him practicing before the meeting started.  The program was so wonderful.  Kenny and William had solos and did a great job.

Twins!

William showed us his extensive collection of dragon eggs.

We spent a delightful day with them.  How we love this family.

We had a lot of delicious meals in Park City.  This was a Mexican restaurant.

On another day, Ken went on a hike in the mountains and enjoyed more color.

Our favorite restaurant was the Roadhouse Grill.  We ate there several times.  This was a delicious Cobb salad that I ordered.

Ken enjoyed the Bison Stew.

Lobster grilled cheese with clam chowder at a cafe close to our hotel.

 

This was a beautiful tree outside the Sheraton Hotel where we stayed.  We so enjoyed our relaxing week in Park City.
