3 7. Life is short, death is long, days are narrow, and years are wide.
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.
Walt called himself "The last of the old-time country doctors."He delivered about 4,000 babies, among fixing broken hips, other surgeries, and even made house calls.As Janie said in his obituary:"He healed many hearts, heads, hands, and everything in-between."
In the 1950s you had to be 20 to serve a mission. This is Walt in August 1954, on the day he was set apart in Salt Lake City to be a missionary.

Fruit JuicesMango, Passion Fruit, Guava, Raspberry, Coconut, Pineapple, and Orange.
Grama gagged when they brought the chicken hearts.
Coração de Frango Temperado is one of Brazil's favorite "Churrasco" appetizers. Chicken hearts were traditionally found gracing in the first "Churrascarias" in southern Brazil. Chicken hearts, though different in texture, are very flavorful.

We only ordered 4 of these

From Rodizio Grill - Provo
More descriptions of the
unique, delicious, and scrumptious food...
Menu -- Beef
Maminha **GF
This Tri-tip sirloin steak is unique to Rodizio Grill, the
Brazilian steakhouse. This steak is a moderate marbled-to-lean cut, which makes
it a very flavorful steak. It's our Founder’s favorite! This cut is best if
consumed medium to medium rare.
Fraldinha **GF
Fraldinha, beef tender, is tender and robust in flavor - one of the
most distinctive cuts of beef enjoyed in Southern Brazil. Pairs perfectly with
our homemade chimichurri sauce.
Bife com Parmesão **GF
This Parmesan center cut steak is unique to Rodizio Grill. It is
lean, tender and topped with fresh Parmesan cheese.
Picanha **GF
This top sirloin (beef top sirloin cap, sirloin cap, sirloin
culotte) is our signature cut, specially trimmed and prepared to assure final
product perfection.
Bife Com Alho **GF
Bife com Alho is a tender cut of beef basted with our traditional
house garlic rub. Our Rodizio gauchos baste the beef with a special garlic
butter recipe that infuses garlic flavor into the beef. When you bite into Bife
com Alho, you can taste a delicate, not overwhelming, garlic flavor.
Chef's Special **GF
Several meats and other local selections are served as Rodizio
Grill Chef's Special items...
Poultry
Frango Com BaconGF
Frango com Bacon, chicken wrapped in bacon, is a Rodizio Grill
guest and staff favorite. Tender, juicy chicken breast is wrapped in savory
bacon and grilled to perfection.
GaletoGF

overnight in wine and a special fresh herb blend (Vinha d'alho), this grilled
feature boasts crispy savory outside, and perfectly tender meat inside.
Frango Agri-DoceGF
Rodizio Grill puts a spin on the traditional churrasco with this
crowd pleasing sweet and spicy chicken. Frango Agri-Doce was created in the
kitchens of Rodizio Grill to attend to guests requests for a flavorful chicken
option. The chicken is basted in Rodizio Grill's unique home-made gaucho sauce,
then grilled to bring out the flavors.
Coração de Frango TemperadoGF
Pork
LinguiçaGF

PernilGF
This flavorful selection of Berkshire Pork is lightly salted and
perfectly grilled. Served with fresh lime wedges.
PresuntoGF
Rodizio Grill's Presunto is one of our signature grilled items. A

piece of our signature grilled glazed pineapple, but it’s also good by itself.

and a fresh herbal blend.

"Although my talk today was based on Elder Uchtdorf’s talk, I also
shared the story from Sister Yee’s talk. This is the painting she references,
and has quickly become my favorite picture of Christ. I wanted to share it here
in case anyone didn’t know the picture I was talking about. I hope it can serve
as a reminder to you, as it has been for me, that Heavenly Father loves each of
us and desires that we all find joy in our lives. And that he will be there to
help us through our trials, and will make us better because of them."

8. Learn from a river; obstacles may force it to change its course, but never its destination.
9. When time is scarce, use what you have. When time is plenty, remember, it will soon be scarce.
10. Time crawls when you are bored; walks when you are occupied; runs when you are busy; but flies when you are having fun.
11. The past only dies so the future can live.
12. Time is your acquaintance, life is your friend, death is your enemy, and existence is your soulmate. Eileen's note: I don't think "death is our enemy," it is our progression.
13. Life is temporal. Time is fleeting. God is permanent. Eternity is enduring.
14. A coward may have the legs of a cheetah, but time has the legs of lightning.
15. Death is a great tyrant; none can overthrow him. Life is a priceless ruby; none can afford it. Eternity is a noble mistress; none can woo her.
The sun does not hurry, yet is always on time. Stars do not hurry, yet are never late. God may not hurry, but never delays. ~Matshona Dhliwayo

13. Life is temporal. Time is fleeting. God is permanent. Eternity is enduring.
14. A coward may have the legs of a cheetah, but time has the legs of lightning.
15. Death is a great tyrant; none can overthrow him. Life is a priceless ruby; none can afford it. Eternity is a noble mistress; none can woo her.
The sun does not hurry, yet is always on time. Stars do not hurry, yet are never late. God may not hurry, but never delays. ~Matshona Dhliwayo

3 7.
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.Walt called himself "The last of the old-time country doctors."He delivered about 4,000 babies, among fixing broken hips, other surgeries, and even made house calls.As Janie said in his obituary:"He healed many hearts, heads, hands, and everything in-between."
In the 1950s you had to be 20 to serve a mission. This is Walt in August 1954, on the day he was set apart in Salt Lake City to be a missionary.

Family is Everything… Day 3 in hospital...
This is from our friend, Jon Groeman:Yesterday we held our semi-annual Stake Conference and one
of the topics was related to our worship of Jesus Christ this upcoming Easter
Season and the importance of HIS resurrection. We were encouraged to ponder the
meaning this has for each of us and our families. We were asked the question
about being worthy to live in the presence of God and his Son in their
Celestial glory. The topic went to repentance and the discussion was about what
formula involving repentance and time would make it possible for us to be
worthy to be with them.
Galileo said "Mathmatics is the language of God."
It made me think of Einstein's theory of Relativity E=MC²
This theory has stood the test of time and has been proven over and over again.
So, I thought if we took the same equation and substituted the variables with
Time and repentance and worthiness we would have something like this.
Worthiness (W) equals Time (T) times Repentance (R) squared. W=TR² The more we
repent per day, month, or year, the more worthy we become.
Section 19 of the Doctrine and Covenants talks about
repentance a lot and how if we repent we can be saved from endless punishment
and eternal misery. Today I look more positively at becoming more worthy of the
merciful judgement of our Savior Jesus Christ.
I hope we can teach our Children and Grand Children the
importance of repentance and seeking forgiveness for our sins. If so, we stand
to receive a glorious place living in the presence of God.
