Looking Great




On July 24th, 1847, Mormon Pioneers entered "This is the Place" 
later designated the Salt Lake Valley.
On this day, every year, our little town celebrates with a Parade.  



Our neighbor and friend, Carl, looking good.




Still, looking great, Carl!

Have a great week my dear
Blogging Friends.

    Dear Gina - Your friend Carl looks like the "real deal." I'll bet he's got some interesting stories of his own.

      Dear Erika, Yes he was the star of the parade. Our friend and two other "Mountain Men" stole the show. We used to have wagons pulled by goats and little Bo Beeps and their lambs, all decked out with pretty ribbons. Now it is mostly motorized vehicles. However, we still have high school bands and horses and their riders.
