January 10th at 10:00 am.
The classes will go for 10 weeks.

She is an AMAZING gardener...

I will be checking with Jane to see if I can
post the information she offers at the class for
those of you who are a little too far away to attend.

I took the classes last year and it was

worth every minute!

Where in the world is Tricia and those looooonnnnngggg awaited Bingo games?

Hey there everyone!  It's Valerie.  If you are hearing from me then you know Tricia has once again downloaded a virus.  I swear that girl and her computer is virus heaven.  Annnnnnyyyyyywwwwaaaayyyyy, it's at the computer store and being fixed.  Until then you are just going to have to wait even further.

The PDF's will be added to the Bingo game original post sometime today by me.  No guarantees about the time.

just in time for Christmas, VIRUS!

Posting has been a bit of a challenge

for the last week and a half.

Thank You for being patient....

especially with the Bingo Games.

Christmas Jars!

After reading the book,
"Christmas Jars"

I decided

that I wanted to take the opportunity with

my family
to give as the Savior did.

I wanted my boys to have a selfless Christmas.

What an amazing year it turned out to be!

We read the book as a family

and then started filling jars for our neighbors.

Each jar contained 1 roll of pennies....

that was it!

We added a poem to the jar so that

the neighbor's wouldn't be left to wonder

what the purpose of a gift of 100 pennies meant.

Here's the Poem:
A jar of pennies JUST FOR YOU . . .
we really went all out!
But the real meaning of this gift
IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT!
A pocket full of change, can be a
heavy thing to pack . . .
So just place it in this little jar,
and remember - NOT TO TAKE IT BACK!
When filled, this jar can CHANGE THE HEART
of someone who is in need.
The story is told in “Christmas Jars”
a book you’ll definitely want to read.
Jars are given in SECRET . . .
NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW,
just where their CHRISTMAS JAR came from,
or the next place it may go.
So we hope this year you’ll FILL YOUR JAR,
AND SEND IT ON IT’S WAY . . .
To follow the Savior’s example,
and make Christmas HIS HOLIDAY!
May the TRUE meaning of Christmas
be with you throughout the year!

I tied a ribbon to the neck of the jar

and added the gift tag.

.....

This was one of my

favorite neighborhood gifts to give

because I knew it had the potential to

 BLESS

the lives of others in need.

It was truly a blessing for my family!
