Family is Everything…
Spring is in 55 days...lavender, (genus Lavandula), genus of about 30 species of plants in the mint family (Lamiaceae), native to countries bordering the Mediterranean. Lavender species are common in herb gardens for their fragrant leaves and attractive flowers.
Meanwhile, in Kauai--
Steve and his kids went skydiving...
I just saw this article:
The 7 times the Tabernacle Choir went to
Washington for a presidential inauguration
The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square has participated
in 7 U.S. presidential inaugurations for 6 presidents…
It was in 1981 at President Ronald Reagan’s inauguration
when the choir sang “Battle Hymn
of the Republic” that he dubbed the group “America’s Choir,” according to
the choir’s website and ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
The events the choir has participated in include:
- The
1965 swearing-in ceremony for President Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square sings under the
attentive gaze of the nation’s political leaders, at the inauguration of
Richard Nixon on Jan. 20, 1969, in Washington, D.C. | Deseret News
archives
- Events
at both inaugurations for President Richard M. Nixon in 1969 and 1973; in
1969, the choir performed in the swearing-in ceremony and inaugural
concert; in 1973, 30 choir members sang in the inaugural devotional in the
White House East Room.
- The
parade and swearing-in ceremony for Reagan in 1981.
- In
1989, the choir performed in parades
and concerts for President George H.W. Bush’s inauguration.
- In
2001 for President George W. Bush, the choir sang before the
swearing-in ceremony and in the parade.
- In
2017, 215 members of the Tabernacle Choir sang “America the Beautiful”
during the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
The choir has also performed for several other U.S.
presidents, both in Utah and in Washington. These include performances in the
Salt Lake Tabernacle for Presidents Jimmy
Carter in 1978 and John
F. Kennedy in 1963.
The choir performed at the Kennedy Center in
Washington in 1974, where President Gerald Ford heard them. It performed at the
White House in 1958 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower and for William Howard
Taft in 1911.
The
Tabernacle Choir includes up to 360 volunteer singers and a roster of
up to 200 orchestra members. A smaller group generally goes on travel
assignments. These “musical missionaries” are members of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, and choir members have a monthslong audition
process. The choir’s origins date back to 1847, when pioneer members of the
Church formed a choir to sing at a conference of the Church weeks after
arriving in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley.
The Church maintains a position of political neutrality and doesn’t endorse candidates or
parties. Church
leaders do encourage members “to be active citizens by registering,
exercising their right to vote and engaging in civic affairs, always
demonstrating Christlike love and civility in political discourse.”

35. If there was no such thing as change, we would suffer from monotony; and if there was no such thing as monotony, we would yearn for constancy.
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.
