As the Stake Relief Society President, I am in charge of the meeting that is held at the Stake Center for those sisters in our stake who chose not to venture down town and not to watch it on TV. We always have a light refreshment after the meeting to give the sisters a chance to visit before going home. Thus, comes the need for tables to serve the refreshments on, center pieces to put on the serving tables, chairs for the sisters to sit on while eating, etc. We decided to have vegetable baskets for the center pieces. I went to the store and bought a variety of vegetables, came home and immediately called on Neal’s expertise to arrange them in the basket. I told him to pretend he was arranging them for a photo shoot.
The second picture is one of the tables with my veggie basket on it. We served pies, which I might add were big hit. We did learn that cream pies are much more popular than fruit pies. From left to right, Lisa, Emily and Linda.
After the meeting was over and the hall cleaned up, we rolled out two rolls of batting from the Humanitarian Center and cut them into twin, crib and full size sections. We do this for our wards who want to make quilts for the Humanitarian center. The rolls are as long as the cultural hall so you can imagine how many cuts we get out of each roll. After they are cut, we fold, roll and bag them individually in bags and label them. Thus, the picture. Linda came up with the brilliant idea of using the cardboard tube that the batting was rolled on and hanging all the bags off the tube and carrying them out to the car in one trip!!! Pretty ingenious. We laughed and loved the idea. If there is any way to expedite a project or a problem, Linda is the one who will come up with a solution. What a gem she is. She reminds me a lot of Lynda Ann – creative and easy solution oriented. Nice to have people like that around me. Sure makes my life easier!
