Who out there LOVES ice cream? We all love ice cream!
So, here's the tip for the day....
For brain freeze: press tongue or thumb firmly to the roof of mouth -OR-
you can take a couple sips of warm beverage.
Brain freezes lasts 21 seconds typically. This is from the good ol' "Farmer's Almanac." Good advice for this hot month of July.

A Little Thought for the Day

A characteristic of a depressed spirit is an "overconcentration" on cares and concerns--an unwise wallowing in feelings of foreboding. What a difference it would make if, instead, we took account of our strengths, raise our eyes off the ground, and gave ourselves credit for how far we have already come and how much we have already achieved. Let us recognize and make use of our talents, abilities, skills, and capacity instead of allowing these traits to be BURIED through self-criticism, forgetfulness, and disuse. Let us name our blessings one by one.

I've been missing my old blog friend...

I missed this old friend...I've been busy trying to plan my part of our Stake Girl's Camp that was held July 14th through the 17th at Pinetop near Idaho City. I had been attending meetings, having meetings and planning since February. The Stake did an amazing job. My part was being in charge of our ward of course. I rounded up letters, etc. Then we were in charge of the craft and the "Virtue Walk." I organized 10 sisters to dress up in Jerusalem old style and give 3 minute thoughts for it. We ordered oil lamps from Jerusalem. When they hadn't arrived for 2 and a half months we got a little worried. So, with the help of a dear sister in our ward and by a miracle we had them in time. It was their reminder of the theme of our camp. It was a lot like a youth conference. It was a fun, amazing time and was so glad to be able to be part of it. Young Women rock!! Below are a few pictures of Camp 2009!

It's been just a little while, huh?
