High Adventure
Saturday we went on a High Adventure. I gathered my courage and Tyra and we joined Hal and Summers for a true adventure. We had the best time. When we took off on the first trail, Hal looked back at me and I said something to him about this being a really rocky road. He said, "Oh, that's how most four wheeler trails are." Well, I hadn't ever gone with them and didn't want to be a waney and so......I went forward, I mean up. The first high mountain lake we went to was, Dairy Lake. It was beautiful! It was so invigorating. There was a little old table under some trees we had our lunch at. Hal, Bryon and McKayla hiked around the lake and we went on to the next one. These trails were trails they had never been on. When we got to the top of the second lake, Bryon commented on these trails being the roughest they'd been on and how surprised he was at how well I was doing. I guess its a good thing I didn't know better. Tyra and I rode Hal's new four wheeler and every time she got a little nervous I told her this mountain machine could go anywhere. If she would have known how scared I was a few times, she wouldn't have had near as good of a time. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if we would have been prepared to stay, maybe next Time! The smell of the trees and the fresh air did me a world of good. I decieded I better quit whinning about all the stuff I think I have to do and play more! That is a stretch but.....I am going to try!
A NEW BLOG....A RECIPE BLOG!!!
After searching for a recipe that I knew everyone had except me, I created a new blog where we can post and share all our favorite recipes! It is brilliant! Part of the brilliance is knowing we can't loose them in a box, drawer, bag, binder or book. They will be stored on Google's gigantic server! Check it out http://themagicrecipebox.blogspot.com. It will be an awesome resource.
Chocolate Bliss
It's 9:10 a.m. tuesday morning. Before 7:30, I had been grocery shopping, ran two miles at the gym, picked tomatoes at our garden and pulled the neighbors weeds. I showered, and was ready for the day by 8:00. But now, after finishing a bag of Hershey's "Chocolate Bliss", I feel defeated-weak and ashamed! If knowledge is power, why don't I have any! Someone help me please!
Tyra and Miss Idaho-Sadie Quigley
We had the best Stake Girls Activity. Sadie Quigley, Miss Idaho 2007 came. She did a wonderful presentation. It was amazing. Keeping her high standards wasn't easy during the pageant and the reality tv show. She was bombarded with criticism. Her testimony, prayers and deep commitment carried her through. She let the girls try on her banner and crown and some of them even got to take their picture with her. This was a memory we will cherish. The spirit was so strong as she encouraged the girls to pray and listen for answers to be guided in the direction they need to take.
