Beautiful Snowy Mountains

I love looking out the airplane window and seeing what is below.  These mountains are beautiful covered with snow.  Even though it was April, there still was snow.

Utah to Florida

Landing; Orlando, Florida

We had a great trip across our country to Orlando. I love looking down at the cities and farmlands. As we landed in Orlando, I was surprised at all the lakes, it was so pretty. I was reminded of Bette Midler’s song, ‘From a Distance’.

From a distance the world looks blue and green

And the snow capped mountains white

From a distance the ocean meets the stream

And the eagle takes to flight

From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It’s the voice of hope

It’s the voice of peace

It’s the voice of every man

From a distance we all have enough

And no one is in need

And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease

No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments

Marching in a common band

Playing songs of hope

Playing songs of peace

They are the songs of every man

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

What all this fightings for

From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

And it’s the hope of hopes

It’s the love of loves

It’s the heart of every man

It’s the hope of hopes

It’s the love of loves

This is the song for every man

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance

God is watching us

God is watching

God is watching us from a distance

We went and saw The Lion King and it was absolutely awesome!  We saw it in London, England in 2004 and it was great then, but it seemed to be even better this time! I had to put my feet up and RELAX for a bit, before it began!!

Friend’s Home

We had a delicious Italian meal at our friend’s home, it was yummy, and then it was time to RELAX and ENJOY!  Notice my poor left big toe, the toe nail.  That is what happens when someone steps on your toe, you can lose your toe nail.  I might have to touch it up in photoshop!   :^)

Tea Party

IMG_0722abefgOgden, Utah

We went to our granddaughter’s birthday party and it was so fun, there were all these little 9 year old girls there for a TEA PARTY.  They were so cute, as they held up their saucer, the cup and their pinky fingers in the air as they drank their tea (herbal tea or hot chocolate)!  ENJOYING LIFE!

Straight On

The Salt Lake Temple was built by Mormon Pioneers and it took them 40 years to build.  It was announced on July 28, 1847 and dedicated on April 6, 1893.  The pioneers gave so much to build this Temple to their God.  On the outside of the Salt Lake Temple is a gold plaque that says; ‘Holiness to the LORD The House of the LORD’.

Angel Moroni

Salt Lake City, Utah

The Angel Moroni sits on the highest spire of the Salt Lake Temple and is atop most Temples throughout the world.  He is remembered for instructing and guiding the Prophet Joseph Smith to the Gold Plates, which Joseph was then able to translate into what we know today as The Book of Mormon.  As a mortal man, Moroni was the last author in The Book of Mormon and his father was Mormon.

The Salt Lake Temple

+TESL67b-0217.(IMG_0894).60Salt Lake City, Utah

Today we went to a friend’s sealing in the Salt Lake Temple.  She and her husband are here from Switzerland and Giulia asked me to take photos of her and Pio at the Temple and at the dinner that evening. I usually don’t do wedding photos, but being they are here for only a week, I decided to do it for them.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day, so before I went into the Temple I walked around it and took some photos of the Temple and the billowing clouds above it.
