Grandpa and Grandma M

The Harley has been parked and the snow has been flying this winter, and continued to fly at home this past week. We had trailered to St George and then rode to Boulder City, Nevada (in a pretty good rain storm). Some of our friends rode all the way from northern Utah to St George and it was snowing when we passed over Beaver pass! Hardy souls to be sure! Last Friday we rode from Boulder City to Tucson, Arizona. Then Saturday Grandma M and I rode back to Phoenix to visit the temple. Traffic was a disaster so we barely made the 2:00 endowment session. Loved being in the house of the Lord, again. And enjoyed getting there on the Harley! Being there with my wife reminds me of the eternal nature of the family and the feelings of the temple help to soften my heart and bring me closer to my family.

Leaving the temple we rode for about a hour to meet some friends for dinner, still in greater Phoenix.

Then back to Tucson for the night!

Sunday after church we rode over to sit in parking lot and watch the Thunderbirds perform at the local airbase. Love watching their amazing precision flying!

Tuesday we visited the Tucson Temple. Wonderful building in a beautiful setting. Temple keys are the same in all the temples. The ordinances and covenants made are all the same. But, each building is unique. Tucson is more unique appearing than most.
