Iceberg

FYI: There's an iceberg in Utah Lake. It apparently was whipped into place by strong winds that pushed surface ice toward Bird Island where it formed an iceberg of sorts. There are also huge piles of ice on the west side of the lake near West Mountain. Who would have thought?

Perhaps Emily and Anna remember an outing at the lake in early spring many years ago to watch the ice break up. I don't believe I have given any thought to the ice on the lake since then, but this iceberg sent me straight down memory lane.

That's the Mount Timpanogos Temple in the backgorund

Uncle Stephen and myself. (If you don't like the hyperurbanism,
you may write to myself and let me know)

Stephen, Lorna, and Kris holding Anna: good times

Uncle and I are off to CA tomorrow for Uncle Hank's birthday celebration. I will report later. This, then, is all for now.

OXO

I love the retro post. Love it. The bishop and myself would like to request more of these posts. Myself and I would also like to say to yourself, have a lovely time in CA. Are yourself and hisself driving or flying yourselves. If it were myself I think I would want to drive. But that's just myself and yourself might feel differently.

P.S. Tucker thought that Lorna was Millie. They are very twin-like, aren't themselves.

Anna: Stephen and myself are flying. And yes, Millie is very much like Lorna in her looks.
