Merry Christmas
What a great evening of music, spoken word and friendships. Thanks to everyone who participated, brought food, set up chairs, visited with friends... well you get the idea. It was great to see you all there!
I'm including a few photos of the evening but wanted, mostly, to recap what I remember the Bishop saying. If you remember better than I, please post a comment!
I loved his words found in Nephi "Look". What a great reminder for all of us to "look" around this season.
1. Look for someone to serve. Teach our children and grandchildren to serve.
2. Look for music that reminds us of the Savior
3. Look for decorations, and add a few to our tree, that remind us of The Christ Child
4. Look for time to read from the scriptures, as families, both ancient scripture and modern reminders.
There is another...so please let me know.

Grateful
Thanks so much to Brother Crockett for his tender and inspired thoughts about the temple. It was a great night and I learned so much and I am so grateful for all those who attended to share in this evening. I also want to express gratitude to dear sisters who attended the temple with me the following morning, it was a great follow-up to our lesson! Recently Sister Jones shared a comment on Sunday about the mothers of missionaries who attend the temple together each month. What great examples you are! Find reasons to go alone, together, as a ward or with your family. Encourage children to go and do baptism's for the dead. Thank you Brother Crockett for reminding to keep the temple active in our lives!

Austrian Germknoedel
Austrian Germknoedel
Prepare Powidl (plum filling):
2 or 3 lbs. of plums (I try to use Italian)
half plums and remove pit
put in large saucepan with ½ -3/4 c. sugar and barely cover with water
bring to boil and let simmer for 2 or 3 hours until it starts to thicken and liquid reduces
I just “put a lid on it” and stick it in the oven on low setting for the rest of the day
Cook until mixture is reduced to thick paste
Cool before making Germknoedel.
In a mixing bowl combine:
3 cups flour sifted flour
1/8 t. salt
1/3 cup powdered sugar
5 drops lemon extract
1 t. rum extract
2 eggs
stir together and let bubble: ca. 10 minutes
½ stick melted butter
1pckg. dry yeast
2/3 cup warm milk
Add to dry ingredients and mix until dough leaves side of bowl. Cover bowl with dishtowel and let rise for ca. 30 minutes.
Turn dough out on lightly floured surface. Knead until bubbles pop. Form dough into a log ca. 3 inches in diameter. Wrap a length of dental floss around the log and pull gently through dough, cutting a section approximately 1 ½ inches thick. Form a cup with the dough
Put about 1 T. plum filling in the middle and fold the edges toward the middle and pinch closed so that none of the plum filling escapes. It should look like a dough ball.
Wrap ball in several thicknesses of plastic wrap and freeze.
To prepare:
Boil water in steamer. Place several Germknoedel in top of steamer. There should be about 1½ inches of space between. Cover and let steam for approx. 15-20 minutes depending on size. Dough will raise and become less shiny when done.
Serve hot with melted butter, powdered sugar and poppy seeds on top.

A Note from Julie about Cabinet Refinishing
With a lint-free cloth, wipe down with Lacquer thinner. Sand lightly with 220 grit. Make sure you go with the grain. Wipe off dust. Paint desired color with water-based paint. Beat up wood, if desired. Re-sand edges and corners to add distress. Use water-based wood stain or brown glaze to bring out markings and sanded edges. It doesn’t have to be brown. If you want a subtle color, use a colored stain or glaze. Be sure to seal with several coats of Deft Clear Wood Finish (Satin). Call for help any time!

The Changing of the Guards

Finishing Touches
I think there just may be a few brave souls who attack their kitchen cabinets. By attack I mean that they may use a meat tenderizer, a hammer or possibly give their cabinets a thrashing with an old chain. This month we learned the techniques for painting cabinets including distressing them.
Thanks Julie and Diana for showing us the ropes and giving us great ideas for crown molding, decorative trim and possibly even sheet metal. It was a lot of fun to listen to your great ideas and as you gave us the pointers it was as if we had stepped in to a private conversation with you two! You can tell you are good friends.
I will be posting the tips that Julie and Diana gave us along with the name of the place that can strip down your cabinet doors for you!
Oh, and by the way Joan, I hope you know how much I appreciate all the work you are doing for us in regards to the humanitarian projects. You are a wonderful treasure!
Our morning activity found us sharing friendship, stories and cucumbers! Don't miss out next month!!!

A Word About Visiting Teaching
It's funny, every once in awhile it hits me and today was one of those days. It's something that I have been doing since I was 18. I was lucky enough to be partnered with my mother, who is an angel. She taught me years previous, by her diligence and example, the importance of visiting teaching. Now I am partnered with my own daughter and my life has come full circle. What a blessing.
I don't think I am the best visiting teacher, in fact sometimes I am a bit flaky. All that said, I have to say how much I love visiting teaching. I love it. I love the sisters I teach, I love the partner I go with and I love the sisters who teach me.
Today, as usual, I learned more than I taught and on the way home, with a book borrowed from the sister I saw, I counted my blessings. Heavenly Father has given me so much through this inspired program. The greatest blessing I have received from the visiting teaching program? A connection with sisters that helps me be a better wife and mother and friend, because each sister has become my friend. And who can have too many friends?

Meet Us In The Garden
Kathie H. has graciously agreed to host our upcoming Garden Party. Plan your favorite salad (or other dish) to share with us that night. We will have a few humanitarian projects that we would love to have you help us with, and plenty of socializing with friends. This is always one of my favorite activities. The Young Women of the ward are also invited and that makes me twice as excited.

A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned
Thanks so much to everyone who attended our couponing class! It was so nice to see you and I hope that you learned something that will help you and your family save money. I missed being there, but I heard that the teacher was thorough and that we may want to have a follow up class in a month or so. If you have questions in the mean time try looking at the following website: http://savvyshopperdeals.com/ there are a few tutorials that have helped me. See you at the Garden Party!

Start Clippin'
On May 18 we'll be sharing ideas on how to shop and save with coupons. So, get clippin'.
Organization System for Important Papers
1. Create files for each month. Mine are in my desk drawer.
2. As you pay bills or receive important papers, place them in the file for that month.
3. At the end of the year, go through the files and decide what you should keep and what can be shredded.
4. Put important papers in a folder or large envelope. Label it with the year.
5. When your taxes are filed, you can add those to the folder.
6. File the folders in a separate file drawer or closet.

Sweet Chex Mix
4 cups Corn Chex
4 cups Rice Chex
¾ cups Golden Grahams
½ package mini marshmallow
2 cups coconut
2 cups sliced almond
Mix the above ingredients in a large bowl and set aside
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup margarine or butter
Boil together in a sauce pan for 2 minutes and then pour over the cereal mixture. Stir until all pieces are evenly coated. Lay out on a cookie sheet to cool.
Yields 10 cups. I substituted mini wheats for golden grahams. (It’s what I had) (I would not do it in a big plastic bowl because the mixture does get hot.)

Humanitarian Projects Underway
As part of an ongoing humanitarian effort, we are excited to present two immediate ways that you can serve.
Janice has gathered baby blankets, bibs and burp cloths that are hemstitched and ready to be crocheted. If you don't know how to crochet the edges and would like to learn, please let a Shanon or a member of the presidency know and we will find a way for you to learn. I you want to serve in another way you can pick up one of the coloring packets and bring a page to life.
Additionally, Joan has put together a program where families can provide humanitarian items on an ongoing basis. You are only limited by your imagination. Recently the Millers completed hygene kits. You can literally do anything you want as a family and turn it in to a member of the presidency or myself at your convenience.
It's a great opportunity to be a part of the bigger picture and isn't that what the Relief Society is all about?

It's a great opportunity to be a part of the bigger picture and isn't that what the Relief Society is all about?
April is for Organizing
Please joing us on April 20th to clean and organize the church kitchen. Be there at 10:00 with your rubber gloves and a serving attitude!
Later we'll gather, 6:30pm, for an organizational class by Chelsea and gather ideas from each other for ways that we can become better organized!
Look for a couponing class in May!
See you there...
