Interesting Pictures.

Our Magnolia tree in our front yard. It turned brown this morning due to 28 degrees last night. But we mowed our Lawn for the first time. (Such a treat!)




Navy hair cut . . . Not a center piece . . . Rea did not give me the crew cut...
This is a table center piece for the Preparedness fair . It is made from real Wheat sprouts and flowers. You can see that you need to cut the wheat as it grows. Rea said it reminds her of the first haircuts she gave me. . . .




See above.... (:-0)

The Stake's big Saturday Emergence Preparedness Fair was a great success. Loads of ideas, special foods that used your year supply items, electric power generators, survial clothing, and on and on. the whole Cultural Hall was filled with displays. Rea's part was with the food. She talked me into trying the energy Barley Water (no taste but a water taste) What did I expect, Barley WATER !! Dahuuu. (BUT . . . barley water has many healthful properties, it helps congestion, arthritis, and clears asthma. . . . even if it is the stuff that the kids in 'Mary Poppins' didn't want their Nanny to smell like!) It can even be used for a sports drink. Add a bottle full of fruit juice and it tastes like diluted juice.

Hey dad,
If you let the barley water sit for a few days, it'll have a stronger "barley water" flavor and you might start talking and walking like a lush! (teehee)
Sorry to hear about the magnolia tree. What a bummer!
