Miscellaneous

Back from my blogging hiatus; miscellaneous goings on...

Got an additional calling that entails scheduling families to clean the church.
It has been fun organizing things and the building is on its way
to being clean or at least cleaner!

Milestone birthday for Candace!

I'm constantly amazed by the decorations at the commissary!
Here, the stalwart potato is recognized!

Stake RS asked Emi and I to make desserts again.
Emi's flan got rave reviews, at least from one unnamed sister
who said she ate seven servings!

I made toffee crackers again, easy plus---yum!

And, most importantly, another milestone birthday---Tomboy turned 60!

 

Feeling the Christmas Spirit

Candace was in charge of the decorations for the ward Christmas party this year and she did an outstanding job! I'm a bit pessimistic regarding decorations. I like them, I just don't like spending a lot of money on them.  Candace not only economized, utilizing free cardboard and decorations that we already had in the ward, but her decorations and design focused on the Savior and invited the Spirit so very much! 

I had to get to the party early to set up my own thing, so I got to see the decorations alone with just Candace, and I choked up taking them all in! My favorite decoration was the manger, front and center, raised up on a table, lit from within, of course symbolizing the light of Christ.

  Simply beautiful, Candace!  Well done!

Sweet and beautiful
