A call from friend, Cindy and an open Saturday night, made for some great girly time as we enjoyed a meal at a mom & pop place in American fork called, Flour Girls & Dough Boys. This bakery has 'made from scratch' everything and has a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. The breads and pastries are divine, and the soup, salads and sandwiches...delectable! We headed to SLC in a blowing snowstorm and got to Highland High School for the concert of the SLC Bag Pipers, known as the Salt Lake City Scots. http://www.saltlakescots.org/main.html Cindy's boyfriend, Jack was the MC and a pipe player as well as the Band Major complete with a baton routine. Intermingled with familiar Bag Pipe songs were occasional Highland dances by a Celtic dance troop in SLC. The theme of the night was honoring the fallen soldiers, including 1000 bag pipers of WWI. After the show, we went to Jacks house on the foothills of Draper which sported a fabulous view of the Salt Lake valley. Jack is an accomplished musician and has a dozen various instruments displayed in his home as well as a pipe organ! (at the opposite corner of the room was a full height Egyptian Sarcophagus! ) After leaving the snowy terrain of Draper, Cindy and I headed back to Cedar Hills to be met with blinding, blowing snow. As is our 'custom', Cindy and I talked till the wee hours of the morning and as we parted, we remembered it was day light savings and got a whopping 3 hrs of sleep before getting up for church! It was a great evening, so of course, it was worth it! In the photo, Cindy is in a white sweater. The other two people were Jack's friends from Jackson Hole, WY.
