Note from Tami.......

Last week that man of mine was just hankering for zucchini bread and guess who never got the zucchini going in the spring? Spaghetti squash bread simply didn’t seem to come up in the google attempt, neither did radish or broccoli bread. What’s a girl to do? She gets herself down to Rasumussen Farms and buys and I did say buys zucchini. The bread turned out to be fabulously tasty if I do say so myself but where are the days of zucchini and run. It was the game we played every fall where I grew up and I think I really miss it.

How about it girls are you in? Let’s play a round of vegetable Duck, Duck, Goose. Stand where you are, put your right arm up and pledge to never and I mean never pay for zucchini again. This is how it will be played. We will all put vine ripening vegetables on the blog and hear us now, only the great stuff that will go to waste because your family has put a ban on the 7 course tomato meals, you are too pooped to bottle, can or freeze more, or you are hoping that the patch will be taken over by vegetable fairies that will leave love in place of the look of labor on the vine.

Simply post your over abundance and see what miracles can occur. If you don’t have a garden, watch for your favorites to appear on this very screen and then cease the moment and hug a friend – you might offer her a slice of zucchini bread. Believe me she will think that she is the fortunate one.

Thanks girls!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how we love ya

It’s quilting time!!

Our ward has a quilting project that requires us to complete a few more quilts. The quilts have been sewn, but need to be tied. These quilts need to be completed by the end of September. On Thursday, the evening of September 10th at 7 pm, we will meet at the home of Sharon Langston for quilt tying and treats. Sharon is due to have her baby soon, so if she has the little one before then, we will post the new location. Also, on Tuesday, the morning of September 15th at 10 am, we will have a 2nd quilting party at the home of April Feller.

Please let Nancee Arnovick or Jolynn Skousen know if you are interested and plan on attending either, or both of these events. We could really use your help, plus it will be a lot of fun!

Christopher Connelly

We're so happy to hear that Christopher's surgery went well yesterday. Jodi said it couldn't have gone better. He underwent some reconstructive repair around his eye socket after a diving accident. He is home and resting.
