Mon - Mar 19/12

The weather is beginning to clear. The snow is melting on the top of the Superstition Mountains. Still a day for doing inside stuff.

We headed for the Mormon Temple in Mesa, AZ. This will be an opportunity for Catherine, the "Genealogy
Expert" in the family, to use their facilities to try to find information for the family tree.

We had a pleasant visit in the main center before being directed to the building across the road that housed the Genealogy Library.

The grounds here are always well kept. It was nice to see the variety of flowers that were in bloom.

We were given the opportunity to do a little picking - not flowers - oranges and grapefruits. The trees needed harvesting. Visitors are encouraged to help in this process. We now have a bag of freshly picked fruit.

Like the Main Visitors Center, the Genealogy Library is staffed by Missionaries who volunteer their time. They have reference books and an impressive bank of computers with fast connection speed. Well worth a visit if you are researching your family tree. Also, if you want time to fly, start doing a family tree. Time zipped by and it was soon mid-afternoon. Catherine hit a genealogical dead end so we continued on with a shift in focus to shopping. Costco was our next stop.  I drooled over a few portable computers. A couple cases of synthetic oil (Motorhome and auto oil changes when we get home), tire cleaner and a huge box (80 count) of K-cups (coffee) and we were then off for supper. 

Tonight the buffet at Golden Corral was our choice. It was excellent as always.

Our last stop was at Target. Catherine hadn't been to one of their stores yet. Yes - they found items they didn't know they needed.

After rush hour it was only a 15 minute ride along US-60 back to the park. Gee! Another full day.
