Today I woke up to the tragic news about the devastating fire that destroyed the
Provo Tabernacle.
If you know Provo at all, you know what a huge loss this is. For me personally, it's part of my childhood and teen years as well that went up in flames. We had stake conference there. I graduated from seminary there. Friends performed in concerts. Others competed in piano competitions.
So
many memories.
And that's not even considering the historical loss. I hope they rebuild (if they don't, the center of Provo will have a massive hole in it, emotionally and visually), but even if they do, the original pioneer woodwork, the old organ, all of that . . . gone.
On a slightly happier note, sweet friend Sherry Ann Miller posted a review of
Chocolate Never Faileth on her blog,
Miller's Musings. She came up with holiday gift ideas for my recipes, things that never occurred to me.
Deirdra Coppel interviewed me on her blog the other day,
A Story Book World. (I must say, she asked some fun questions.)
