Week 32 - December 2-9

We enjoyed to beauty of the snow as it clung to the trees on Temple Square on Monday morning.
For lunch on Monday we drove to Sage.  We had Tonkatsu (Pork) Ramon and bought a bottle of Okonomi Sauce and made Okonomiyaki from dinner.  We treated Susan and Nathan to a fun meal from Japan.
We even had fish flakes to go on top and wiggle.  It was a fun evening together.  Okonomiyaki means what you want.  We had a variety of cheeses, shrimp and ham to choose from.  We each cooked our own dinner and visited.  It is a great activity for a group if the grill can be placed in the middle of the table.
These two cute little snowmen were greeting us as we returned to the Family History Library after lunch.
Friday morning I had the opportunity to drive our Granddaughter to high school. The GPS brought me back to temple square by the Sea Gull Gate.  It was fun to look down the street and see the Utah Capital building though the gate.
On the same corner can be seen Brigham Young's homes (Beehive house and Lion House).  What an amazing opportunity to serve in the "Utah Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission."
Saturday morning Elder Koberstein and I visited the Church History Museum.  It has on display watercolors by President Eyring and a station that allows one to try their hand at watercolors.  Some of my favorite paintings are pictured.
This is a "Fishing Village in New England".
These two watercolors are titled 
"Wyoming Scenery" and "Summer Camp" in Idaho.
These pictures are titled "Trail Ride (Mexican
 Colonies...)", "Father, Son, Mexico" 
and "Horse Riding (Border Patrol)".
Watercolors must be hard to capture people.  
What do you think of "Trudy and Kathleen"?
