Salt Lake City has been the home of my family for generations. I am a retired tour operator of North American historical sites, and a founder of the Utah Tour Guide Association. I currently work as a professional local city guide, and I have served as a docent in the Utah State Capitol, the Governor's Mansion, Historic City Hall, the Family History Library, and the Beehive House (city founder Brigham Young's residence.) I have been featured in several documentaries, the most recent of which was "Brigham Street" produced by the U of U's TV station KUED for PBS. My husband, John, and I have been married for over fifty years. We have 7 children and 24 grandchildren. I am an avid genealogist, historian, pianist, organist, love cooking, and in years past loved skiing. I am a cancer and open-heart surgery survivor thanks to the marvelous medical facilities, physicians and caregivers in Salt Lake City. I love meeting the wonderful people from all over the world who come and stay with us in our garden apartment. Life is sweet!

Located in an upscale neighborhood, on the "bench" at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, our garden overlooks the Emigration Canyon ravine. We are also conveniently near all of Salt Lake's attractions including the world's largest collection of Genealogy & Family History records, the impressive Utah State Capital, renown hospitals, museums, State Parks and city parks. We are within a 30 minute drive of several world-class ski resorts. and the gateway to 7 National Parks. We have free parking for 2 cars. There are many excellent restaurants and shopping areas nearby. The Olympic Stadium at the University of Utah is within walking distance, and there is a public transit stop within a 2 minute walk.

Across the street is a tennis court maintained by the high school and is available much of the time. Within walking distance is the Salt Lake Sports Complex, which offers an excercise facility, Ice skating sheet, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, instructors and many insurance policies provide free admission. There is a bus stop in front of our house that makes a short run to the University of Utah campus and the large complex of hospitals connected to the campus. One can also transfer to a ski resort bus of choice, which is the preferred way to avoid traffic to the resorts. Take the bus the other way from our house to downtown city center and a connection to the Frontrunner train which services 4 counties along the Wasatch Front from Ogden to Provo and including transit to Brigham Young University.
