Food Storage Tips from Debbye Cannon

I am looking to buy a 23 Qt. pressure canner and wide mouth jars/lids.
If you (or someone you know) have these please give me a call.

I have just learned about two good grocery ad services you might want
to check out:
dealstomeals.com ($4.95 month) This site helps you spot the HOTTEST
deals in a hurry!
You can even print a list of the items YOU want and take it to
Wal-Mart for one stop shopping (price matching).
Store brands are matched with store brands (Western Family/Great Value, etc.)

pinchingyourpennies.com (FREE)

I found out about these from the gals teaching at Honeyville Farms
classes. Just one tip about a special on
2# blocks of cheese saved me $40! FYI you can keep unopened vacuum
sealed blocks of cheese (Tillimock)
on the shelf in your cold storage room for SIX MONTHS! I got enough
to last awhile!

Laura Hickman told me about chicken special at Peterson's this week
(thru June 29th).
I'm having so much fun creating my FOOD STORE (used and rotated food
rather than STORAGE).

If you are interested in becoming more self reliant let me know. I'd
love to add you to my special interest email list.

Baby Girl Bedding

From Karen Brooks
I was at Target the other night and found this darling baby girl crib bedding. I just couldn't pass up a good deal. I of course am not having a baby, but I bought it thinking someone might want it. It was on clearance at Target but is twice as much online. (It is online only, but someone had returned it.) I got the bumper pad for $28 (online price: $49.49) and the crib skirt for $9 (online price: 28.79). Here is the link. If anyone is interested, I will of course give it to them for what it cost me. If there are no takers, I will return it. They also had the crib quilt for another $27 but I didn't buy that. Who uses a quilt anyway?

4-5 year old Soccer, anyone?

I was wondering if you or anyone else in relief society knew of neighborhood boys soccer team for 4-5 year olds. My son wants to play soccer this coming fall and I know sign ups are now so I was hoping their was already a neighborhood team he could get on. I would appreciate any information.

Thanks,

Good News from the Reader Family!!!!

I am so happy to report that MacKinley will not need surgery afterall. The surgeon suspected as much and he ordered a CT skan of his head and the plates were not fused together! I need to watch it to see if it gets worse, but he said most of the time the fusing happens at birth. So I need to prop his head up to flatten it a bit in the back---and that's all! No helmet! We are SO happy.

Also the lab was sucessful at getting a blood draw to check his white blood cell count. (It may be low because he may have a problem with his immune system.). I will let you know the results.
Now we are going to go party, cry a little, and thank God. We love you all!

Play Group Time!!!!

I think summer may finally have arrived! I'm thinking we should start meeting at the park every week for playgroup now as long as the weather is good. Plan on every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at the park on Degray and Navarro. If the weather is bad we will cancel, but otherwise let's get our playgroup on!! If you want to change the time, day, or place, send me an email at mindiebfield@hotmail.com. I am thinking it would be easiest to keep the day, time and place the same each week so that we can all just plan on it but if you would like me to change any of the details, I'm happy to. Hope to see you all on Wednesday!!!!
