Downtown Salt Lake City

is wonderful this time of year.

And always!

What???

Now everyone is doing it!

Flowers

Every Tuesday the florists place a new work of art

in the lobby of the building where I work.

I thought I would share their art

hopefully weekly

if I remember :-)

Two-hundred and Fifty-two

Two-hundred Fifty-two what you might ask . . .

Only 252 days till there is shopping

out the front door

of my work!

Can't wiat!

They're Back

No - not Poltergeist!

My vocal cords!

Shout out to having a voice! (pun intended)

Thanks to everyone for their faith and prayers on my behalf.

56 Years Ago Today

Friday, July 8, 1955

Lowell D. Wood & Lorna Cox

were sealed in the St. George Temple 

He was a handsome Canadian who had recently

returned from a mission in South Africa.

She was a beautiful young woman from St. George

who worked in the temple and wanted to serve a mission. 

They met on a blind date. (take note Courtney and Paige)

So they decided to get their Canadian and St. George families together
and throw the classiest party St. George had ever seen!

And they lived happily ever after
 - and served one mission and a lot more!

The Weekend

We had a great stay-at-home Independence Day weekend!

 Saturday began at the Farmer's Market in Pioneer Park

Then the girls went to a Bikram Yoga class and loved it??



That evening we partied with Tony and family in Farmington.



Sunday night we drove 100 miles (one way) to see the Spiral Jetty. 

While we should have started out earlier

but it was wonderful all the same.



Monday the girls watered Aunt Linda's flowers. Posed with Old Glory and we enjoyed a homemade fireworks display with our friends and neighbors.



We had a BLAST of a weekend!

In the Beginning

So the girls are bloggers, we like to read other blogs, we have big families, I take lots of pictures.  All these things added together were the impetus for
The Eagle and the Bulldog.

Lisa and Mark - June 14, 1985

Enjoy!
