I put a link to the Word of Wisdom Diet Blog on the right side of this blog near the link to lds.org.
Word of Wisdom Diet Blog
Thanks Jami & Scott for the inspiring words in sacrament meeting yesterday! I needed it. I am in the worst shape of my life & have been trying to get motivated. I appreciated the humor. It truly spurred me on. I've been working on getting in shape for a while, but it seems like drudgery & I slip & fall. I am sure I will slip again, but yesterday I felt that the key to success is to make it fun.Another key is always to get back up and start again.
So, I made myself go on a walk for a full hour this morning. Unfortunately, I waited until it was too hot for me. (I don't do heat.) So I am sitting here sweating profusely. It's my own fault. Tomorrow I will go earlier. While I was walking, in preparation for the lesson on Sunday, I was listening to the Miracle of Forgiveness on my ipod. I love President Kimball. He always tells it like it is. (I think he probably still does in heaven, so I am stating this in present tense.) ANYWAY, in listening to him I got what I think is a great idea. (You can tell how well I was concentrating.) I am going to start a Word of Wisdom Diet Blog. Any sister who would like to participate may do so. The purpose will be to inspire, share ideas, funny stories,& proud moments with each other. There will be no pressure, only encouragement. I am sending an email on CC's and will explain the rules. If you know someone who would like to participate but is not on the internet, we can somehow figure out a way to share with them. This has to be private for it to work for all of us, so only those who email me and agree to keep it private will have the password to log on to the blog. There is to be NOOOOO sharing the site with husbands, etc. We will respect each other's feelings and privacy. There will not be sharing of weight unless you do it on your own. Anyway, if you want to join in the fun, email me. Again, this blog will not in anyway represent the church or the ward. It is sponsored by me.

Aprons
We will be making the children's aprons in September. Watch for a sign-up sheet. Marcy bought the same pattern in an adult size. We will do them at the same time if there is interest. Watch for the sign-up sheet for that, too. Even if you have already signed-up it doesn't hurt to put your name down twice to make sure you get a call.
Quilt Group
Quilt group will be meeting on Tuesday, July 20th at 7:00 pm. I am thinking that it is at Dixie's house. I'll post an update if that is not correct. We have a great group. I finally have mine cut out and am going to have a block done, do or die!
This a fun group. You don't get yelled at if you haven't done anything. If you did, I'd be in trouble.

Save the date *** September 14th
Please save the date September 14th for our next monthly Relief Society meeting. We are hoping that this date will work for the sisters in the Hispanic branch for our get-together. We would like to have as many sisters there as possible to get to know these great women better. More info to follow.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Family Emergency Plan
Hey, Sisters!
I am going, from time to time, to post some emergency/and or preparedness ideas on the blog. I know that I need some reminders. I seem to go in spurts. I need to be more consistent. Hope it helps you, too.
"Your family should have a plan for how to respond to an emergency. Take time regularly to discuss and practice for emergency situations with your family. Have fire, tornado, or earthquake drills so that children will all know how to safely exit your home and where to gather." (From: Emergency Preparedness Made Easy, Pam Crockett, Introduction)
1. Understand your basic needs.
2. Get family together, discuss emergency needs.
3. Make an emergency contact phone list for each family member.
4. Prepare or purchase 72 hour kits for each family member.
5. Prepare of purchase a disaster (tote) kit for your home.
6. Prepare or purchase an emergency kit for your vehicles.
7. Make or purchase a basic first-aid kit for your home and vehicles.
8. Learn your community emergency services and needs for disaster preparation.
9. Practice and maintain your family emergency plan.
10. Keep it simple, don't get overwhelmed, and had FUN!
The above list also comes from "Emergency Preparedness Made Easy by Pam Crockett.
