While we were there we went and saw my Grandpa Reimann who has been in the hospital for a MAJOR infection that he is trying to fight. It has been so hard for me to watch my grandparents age. It was hard to see him in that condition. My grandpa is a pretty cool guy. I was lucky to be the oldest granddaughter so I knew him when he was young and feisty...now he is old and feisty.
He has done some pretty amazing things.
Have you ever seen this in the middle of the desert in Utah??? My grandpa built it with the help of his sons. It is called the tree of Utah. I remember staying in a Hotel while they were building it and I thought it was a REAL vacation.
He also did all the edge brick work on the Logan Temple renovation.
He did all the yellow colored edging. He also did all the precast work on the entrance of the temple.
Have you ever seen this fountain at Temple Square? Yup he did that too.
I used to go to work at the plant with him on occasion. I watched him build a double sided bench. He named it the Jenny Bench. I am still to this day flattered that he named it after me. I really need to get one made for me now that I have a new house.
He also makes bust sculptures of Book of Mormon heros. For those of you who have seen them know how amazing they are. I wish I had a picture of them.
We are praying for him to pull through this infection. We are also praying that my grandma will have the strength and energy to endure all that is going on. She is also an amazing woman.
We spent a little time with my mom. Claire was so happy to see her cousin Corbin. She couldn't keep her hands off him.
One of the days the Fischer girls went to lunch and did some shopping. It was so fun to hang out with them. I lucked out in the sister in law department. I consider them my best friends. I love to spend time with them. They introduced me to the wood connection. Holy cow I didn't know that place existed. It is going to be a no no store for me.
Okay this post is getting rather long so I think I will stop here. I like to visit SLC but I am always happy to be home.
