Taken from the back side of Spout Springs.


While we were out, at the LDS dry pack cannery, to do the banking, which is done 3 times a wk., (explain later), three collage interns, working on degrees in school counseling, came by, as they are going around the community to see what impact non-profit organizations are doing for the community.  Our building consists of four entities, welfare, counseling, employment and dry pack cannery.  We gave them a tour of the dry pack and the welfare Bishop's storehouse.  We always like to show off what we are doing, it is fun. 
Bill and I oversee the dry pack opporation in this region. People can come and put up dry food, for food storage and use. We have several sets of adult Missionaries to help with the canning sessions.
 Rest of the day was uneventful, which can be very good.  It was a good day for me and I was so happy I could go out and help Bill as I know I won't always be able to do so.  I hope all of you had a great day also.



HOW'D YOU BREAK YOUR ARM?
Even if you aren't a skier, you'll be abled to appreciate the humor of the slopes as written in this account by a New Orleans paper.
"A friend just back from a holiday ski trip to Utah with the kind of story that warms the cockles of anybody's heart.  Conditions were perfect, 12 below, no feeling in the toes, basic numbness all over, the "tell me when we're having fun" kind of day.
One of the women in the group complained to her husband that she was in dire need of a restroom.  He told her not to worry, that he was sure there was relief waiting at the top of the lift in the form of a powder room for female skiers in distress.  He was wrong, of course, and the pain did not go-away.  If you've ever had nature hit it's panic button in you, then you know that a temperature of 12 below zero doesn't help matters.  So, with time running out, the woman weighed her options. 
Her husband, picking up on the intensity of the pain, suggested that since she was wearing an all-white ski outfit, she should go off in the woods.  No one would even notice, he assured her.  The white will provide more than adequate camouflage.  So she headed for the tree line, began disrobing and proceeded to do her thing.  If you've ever parked on the side of a slope, then you know there is a right way and wrong way to set your skis so you don't move.  Yup, you got it.  She had them positioned the wrong way.

I am only half way done so will finish tomorrow.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind.
and the ones who mind, don't matter.
