another birthday another fun adventure

celebrating my 74th at the Joseph Smith building in Salt Lake City! Jim planned a great day. starting with a train ride to SLC, no worries about paring and driving and then walking through the reconstruction site of the Temple(which Jim always loves )  Eating soup and sharing a sandwich at the Nauvoo cafe among the people working the area, mostly church workers, many Sisters, and feeling much joy. We walked around and then shopped and found some things for me to remember this day ( of course I dont need anything )!!!! but I will remember how we made each train connection by the skin of our teeth !!! and how Jim planned a great day.

here is  the pat in the hat!

thanks for the warmth and love of others both near and far

I feel the love

I feel the hope

I am at peace

 

crusing with Terry and Doug

nothing like enjoying the time together and cruising with my sister Terry and Doug

Thanks to Doug for finding a two week cruise for us to share music, memories and fun and food

We  started our weekend off  by attending the Fort Lauderdale temple where we met the spirit shared through out the world --- love of our Savoir Jesus Christ and serving one another. We took an uber there and then got to share even more time as several humble members took us back to our hotel,,, which was totally out of their way. they taught us love

Starting off

Doug chooses to see the sea from the 12th observation floor which we later discovered was a gem of quiet and beauty, there he read over16 books while we hiked up the 12 floors each day to get our exercise and view and visiting

Loved getting off the ship at each stop to walk and view the different cultures

Here we are at Aruba 

The culture highlight was the Lincoln center string quartet each evening  ..then after 3 loud dance/music areas from jazz, blues and rock and roll

The half Moon cay is the private island that Holland America has for us the explore and we discovered the natural beauty of     aqua water and birds 

Yes, masks were suggested

Jamaica. pretty mountains but too aggressive, they even tried to pick up Terry!!  

Everyday starts with a work out

Key west was a great surprise which we got at the end of the two weeks.

What did we learn? Vacationing without worrying about anything is nice.

 Reconnecting with my sister is grand 

.And being able to share our love of the Savior to each other and others is needed.

 The end of our journey was an example of Expecting a Miracle as we had difficulty traveling out during spring break and weather issues,

Lucky for us it was conference weekend and we had ear buds to share and listen and Expect miracles...  we made our connections home to find all is well
