The happenings of the Billy and Sheri Wardle family
Came across this picture on Facebook of the newly relesed depiction of the Buenos Aires City Center Temple. Que Maravilloso. The temple will be built on Calle Reconquista between Avenida Córdoba and Viamonte. This means it is only a couple blocks from Calle Florida and a major shopping district.
My granddaughter is in a youth concert, and thereby gets two free tickets to the master works concerts of Omaha Symphony Orchestra. We went to the Beethoven's Fifth and Blue Beard opera concert this last Saturday. Beethoven's Fifth was amazing. They had a guest conductor, Lidiya Yankovskaya with Russian roots. She did not have music and must have had the whole score memorized in her head.
And then Blue Beard's Castle, with just two singers, and the Bard who introduced the opera. This tells a very dark story. There was special lighting by David Murakami for this which really enhanced the story. It used light and shadow and color. It was really cool.
My grand daughter said the opera was too long, but she loved the symphony. She plays viola and loves orchestra music. I liked both. Blue Beard is a new story to me. Someone who kills multiple wives is called a Blue Beard.
There are six trolls at Lauritzen Garden. If the stuck to there schedule the left this past week. You have to walk all the way to the end of the trail at Lauritzen to see all six trolls. They were created by Thomas Dambo of recycled materials. The trolls are subtitled "Save the Humans". They each teach people about how to care for the environment.
This mural is at Farnam and 11th where we parked to go to the playground at Gene Leahy Mall. It took two pictures to catch the entire mural.
This temple has a bit different design to reflect the Southwest. The desert gardening reflects this as well. It was Monday when we visited and there were men their working.
