Rosie the Riveter

The dreaded day has come: Vicky has resurrected the Honey-Do list.

She's been busy all day making our new keeping room shine, and thinking and tinkering around with the chimney and mantle. When I got home, she said, "You have to do just one favor for me tonight."

I held my breath.

"Hang the two pictures on the chimney. The temple picture over the mantle, and the First Vision picture on the chimney in the keeping room."

I prepared myself mentally and physically for the task during dinner. Not so bad as tasks go, but it didn't look good for future Honey-Do lists, which tend to blossom in scope.

While we were eating, Vicky looked so cute in her beanie cap, I had to snap a picture...

Check out the rolled-up sleeves and one arm draped over the vacuum cleaner. Parker dubbed her "Rosie the Riveter."

Then it was time to hang the pictures. We got a fresh pack of our favorite tool, Wall-Dogs, to do the job with style. Here's the first picture...

We love how the light is shining down on the prophet from above.

The second one was our Al Rounds painting of the Logan Temple. Here's Vicky dusting and adjusting the lights...

And -- voila!

During dinner, Vicky started telling us about a video from the Swedish Ronninge chorus they watched at Sweet Adelines on Tuesday night:

"They showed this beautiful winter scene with evening sunset, right? And the caption read: 'May in Sweden.' Then they continued showing it as the caption changed to 'June in Sweden,' then 'July in Sweden.'"

She laughed. "It was so funny! So then, they show a picture of a single flower poking up from the snow and the caption read: 'June 21st to June 24th in Sweden.' You should have seen it!" More laughter. "And they kept sticking in subliminal pictures of Abba. It was so funny."

I sat there, listening to the delighted ringing chimes of her voice, so musical as she talked and laughed. 

I can't imagine a more beautiful sound; not in Sweden, not in the whole wide world.
