Sister Webb has been very gracious and taken us around various sites in the St George area.  We visited a few places close into the house.  We did manage to stop at the Pine Valley Chapel for the branch there.  Truly a beautiful place.

We managed to get into the Pine Valley Chapel and got a special tour of the building.  It has been around for a long time.

Here is the chapel.

Guess who standing on the entry way.

The lower chapel or training area.

The chapel upstairs

Pews up on the stage for the choir or speakers

Their organ is actually a two pedal pump organ and is still in use

The roof is rounded and is shaped like the bottom of a boat.  That's because it was built by a seafaring man named Bryce.  It's the only way he knew how to build something so it looks like an upside-down ship.  Well built, too.

One of the oldest, continuous use chapels in the church

...and those steps up to the attic reminded me of Nauvoo...sort of made me homesick...naw!

In the corner of the property is the tithing office, now used as a Junior Primary building.

One last shot of the chapel...

So, look out there at those cows.  They are an English breed raised up in Pine Valley year round.  Can you guess what they call them?  Come on, give it a try...just once?   Yep, "Oreos".  I wonder why?

We'll be leaving in a couple of days after we have worn out our welcome here in this beautiful valley.

The four of us together again.  Me, Arlene, Connie Webb (Pine Valley), and Mary Joines (St George).

Next stop will be heading back up to Marilyn's then home...
