Murder On The Orient Express

North Atlantic Ocean

As we flew across the Atlantic Ocean, I put my feet up and RELAXED as I watched Murder On The Orient Express.  It was a GREAT movie, Agatha Christie knew how to write them!

On our way to Southern Utah, this past week-end we saw a lot of snow. Soon, there was a train next to us, so we pretended we were racing it. Of course, they didn’t know about the race, but we did win.

While waiting for our train (we missed the first one) I RELAXED just as another train flew by!  I always keep myself busy, I never get bored!!

Golden Spike National Historic Site

Promontory Point, Utah

When we have company from afar, we take them to Golden Spike National Historic Site at Promontory Point.  In 2006, we took our visitors to see the re-enactment of the driving of the ‘Golden Spike’ which allowed the Jupiter (Central Pacific Railroad) and 119 (Union Pacific Railroad) to come together.  This occurred on May 10, 1869 and changed our nation.
