Over the Hump

It is Friday, and I have had time to get over the less pleasant effects of chemo.  Am not as fatigued, not sleeping all day, and am able to walk without gasping for air.  Think I have finally become acclimated to the thin mountain air.  

Gary, Tacy, Mom, and Fiona accompanied me to Salt Lake City to see some sites.  Went on a tour of the Conference Center, which is full of large (as in 8x10 foot) original paintings of biblical scenes...just beautiful.  Makes me want to dust off my paint brushes once again.  There is a garden on the roof of the building with trees and fountains...very relaxing.

Then went to lunch at a Food Court, which was very loud...what a contrast!   Went through the 1800's house of Brigham Young.  Love old places with the fabulous workmanship in the woodwork, etc.  And the furniture was amazing! 

Then went to Temple Square, to check more beautiful gardens, and some of the buildings there.  I had a wheelchair that the Conference center provided and let me use around the several square block area.  That was a lifesaver, or would have never been able to keep up with everyone!  It was a splendid day!

Went to visit Karen and Lewis, some longtime friends that I see only every few years.  Wonderful to catch up on old times and new times, too.  Am thoroughly enjoying being here with friends and family.

Love to all!
