Blooms of the Week - From Temple Square






We often find ourselves in Utah for a BYU graduation on our wedding anniversary. It was our 33rd this April 25th. We took off by ourselves Friday afternoon after Andrew's convocation. We drove to SLC and went to Temple Square. We have often made this couple's trip in April to see the beautiful tulips and flowers. It was also at Temple Square in front of the Christus statue that Glen proposed to me in 1974. We parked under the Joseph Smith Building and while passing through, decided to watch the Joseph Smith movie. We had already purchased tickets for the Emma Smith movie later that evening. We highly recommend both movies. We think it is important to see the Joseph Smith movie first. Emma was sponsored by the Joseph Smith Family Historical Society and it uses many of the scenes not used in the Joseph Smith movie which was sponsored by the church. They very much complement each other and there is a special connection which occurs with the same actors playing Joseph and Emma in each movie.

  2. Happy Anniversary and WOW, what great pics of all the flowers in Temple Square! I am working on the photo process-not, too good yet. I thought we would see you at graduation, too, but it was exciting for some of our kids to graduate. I loved Elder Bednar's talk. (We were one of the late ones who did NOT have a good seat!)Tell Ruby-you and I are ALREADY friends!

  3. Happy Anniversary! Wish I could have tagged along. . . haha.

    We will have to go see those tulips soon ourselves! They looks so much better than Thanksgiving Point.
