Friday

The temple area covers 36 acres and has 14 buildings, most of them very large and tall.
This angel is atop the highest spire of the temple.
More flowers on the temple grounds
This is on the wall in the Beehive, Brigham Young's home. It is unusual in that it is made from human hair wound around flowers, stems, etc.
This is Bear Lake. It is on top of a mountain, and it is much larger than it looks here. Half of it is in Idaho, and half in Utah.

Greetings from Ashton Idaho--the seedling potato capital of the world.
We visited the Mormon Temple and headquarters before we left Salt Lake City. Wow!! They have spent some money there. The grounds are absolutely beautiful--these pictures don't capture how pretty they are. The buildings are very modern and BIG. We drove all afternoon. We drove through Jackson Hole about 6:30. There were a lot of people (tourists) there. The Tetons are pretty--I don't think I got any pictures because they are so big, my camera won't capture them.
Hope things are going well with everyone--we're happy that Vince and Amy sold their house and have bought another one. Matt, I hope you and John and Jake have found a good house for you. We are going to Yellowstone tomorrow--may take 2 days to see it, depending on how much we get done tomorrow.
Nothing exciting to report--no tickets or anything like that--just motoring along.
Will report in tomorrow. Let us know how things are going with everyone.
Love,
Mimi
