CHEAPER BY THE HALF DOZEN

Wednesday was the busiest day I had coming to me this whole week.   We got up, ate breakfast, got dressed and out the door by 9 am.   I had to stop by someone’s house and pick up stuff, get a few more things at the store and then headed to Jaime and Alix’s P.E. class.   Ater that was over, we headed home for a quick lunch and then off to the church.   The next 2 1/2 hours were spent setting up tables and all the displays and information I had gathered.   We left there in just enough time to come back by the house and grab a few things before heading out again.   I had to stop by another sister’s house and pick up something and then off to the other side of Fremont to pick up the berry orders.

About 4 weeks ago, as a church, we did a group berry order.   The berries come from Oregon and are quick frozen and a very resonable price.   I was the one in charge of the berry orders.   What should have been a very easy task turned into quite the   ordeal when I lost the berry orders.   Lucky for me, the company keeps a copy of all the orders made and lucky for me, the Lord blessed me with the memory of every one who ordered so that I could call them and tell them to go pick up their berries.

After berry pick-up I had to go home and put them in the freezer. Then I picked up a friend of mine and we headed to the church.   We spent the next hour putting the finishing touches on the displays and the event started.   I did an entire program about provident living and emergency prepardness.   It went pretty good.   We had 48 sisters in attendance (which is amazing for us.   Usually a “good” Enrichment meeting is about 28 sisters).   A couple of reps from the City of Fremont came out.   We had a round robin and learned about food storage, emergency sanitation, 72 hour kits, water storage and had some samples to taste of different food storage items.   We then had a spiritual prepardness portion of the program and then a game to test their knowledge.   All in all it was a very fun evening.   I think everyone learned at least one thing.

We were home by 10.   The kids in bed and then we did some clean up and headed to bed ourselves.   I still managed to stay up till 12:30 though.   I’ve gotta start getting to bed sooner!!
