MANY COLD AND LONELY NIGHTS WERE SPENT BY THE MEN BUILDING THE RAILROAD THAT CONNECTED THE EAST WITH THE WEST.......TODAY WAS A BIG CELEBRATION IN UTAH AT PROMONTORY POINT WHERE THE GOLDEN SPIKE WAS DRIVEN ON THIS DAY 150 YEARS AGO.......WHEN "BIG BOY" FROM THE EAST MET "LIVING LEGEND" FROM THE WEST.......THIS TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD HELPED UNITE OUR NATION......AND IT ALL HAPPENED IN LITTLE OLD UTAH. THE ONE BROUGHT IN CHINESE TO HELP WITH CHEAP LABOR AND THE OTHER TEAMED UP WITH BRIGHAM YOUNG TO ROUND UP CHEAP HELP WITH THE MORMONS......ANY WAY IT GOT DONE!.....THEY EXPECTED 20,000 PEOPLE TO CELEBRATE IT WITH THEM TODAY......
EXPECTING MY SWEET SISTER AND HER DAUGHTER AND GRAND-DAUGHTER FOR THE WEEKEND TO HELP CELEBRATE "MOTHER'S DAY" WEEKEND WITH ME....BEEN BUSY PLANTING FLOWERS.......
