Temples, Temples and Heavenly Bodies


This morning on the way to work I decided I would take a different way home not through Park City and Salt Lake City, not through Provo Canyon but up over the Aspen Loop.

You drive up past Sundance Ski Resort. Just past Robert Redford's gate (I have a picture but it is not that glamorous) I come across the following:


Well I had to stop and take a picture, because I have an Eleanor and I wished I could just turn down that road and see her, Eleanor is my granddaughter


This Picture was on the day she was blessed
Isn't She a Heavenly Body?
Eleanor Marie Deschamps

I love where I live, Utah is Great! The mountains of Utah are heavenly and temples of grandeur


This past year had been a wet one in Utah so the mountains are still green, very green


I must have passed about 100 cyclist on the drive, some heading down hill....

I stopped to take this picture at the top and a cyclist was coming up the hill, "I said it is all down hill from here", He said "I sure hope so this is going to kill me" Given the 8,000 foot peak and the Utah Valley floor is 4500 feet, that makes it a 3,500 foot climb ALL uphill. Not a flat spot in the 9 or 10 miles up hill


This is looking out towards the west towards the Utah Valley

Though the mountains are beautiful and something I enjoy being, I stopped by on my way home and took a picture of another temple The Lord has had created which is just as beautiful and much more precious than any mountain

The Mt Timpanogos Temple
American Fork, UT

I am going to have to make that trip again soon. The next time I will take a better camera my cell phone camera is OK but I think I can take some better pictures

  1. Your little granddaughter is a doll. What a cutie. Have you made any more quilts lately? I just finished one and am on to another one.
