Honey for Christmas

David and Kate Bird Concerning a Gift to Alyce Childs Myrna wrote: I am not certain if another case of honey will be a welcome gift for Alyce or not. Tell her that it does have monetary value and can be sold if she has too much. :) Hehehe. Well, it does have monetary value but I don't suppose she is into ebay, right? At any rate, we just purchase the honey, through Leonard's labor at harvest time, so it is fine. I think it is a good gift, but I am not certain. Let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks for answering. A case should be heading home today with the Leamasters. I had to stay home from the temple so only LHT, the Strong and Healthy, was able to go. I have a REALLY awful cold. Poor me. :(

Too many irons in the fire. Deloris Bahr’s address is 4176 West 6520 South, Taylorsville, Utah 84129. May the Lord’s blessings be with you and yours at this very special time of the year, Christmas, and throughout the coming year.

I'd tell you its because I am getting old, but I have always been like this. Thanks for Deloris' address.

Good Article

 Good Morning and Merry Christmas,

I was going to thank Myrna last night for publishing the article/letter about school safety, but she slipped out early. It is much appreciated! We have been managing a fair number of questions, comments, opinions etc. and the article will help provide some basis of understanding for those who read it. Furthermore, we will begin to process how best to move forward. 

Thanks again,
Dr. Jim Shank, Juab School District Superintendent 

Myrna: I was coming down with a really bad cold. It just kept getting worse and worse. I went home, took some cold med and went to bed. Thanks for the thanks. Would you remind Charlene to send me your goals. Thanks for that. M

Snowman Cartoon

Melanie found a cartoon, in color, that shows a child snowman with a yellow lower half. The mom said to the snowchild that she had thought the child had gone to the restroom before leaving. It was great and she sent it to Siovhan with the following comment, "I thought you would love this. You know my humor..." Siovhan Bolton baaaaaahahahahahahah reminds me of a few capri sun filled marathon drives. Myrna Trauntvein It reminds me of a little girl who used to sing at the top of her lungs because she needed to "go" and we had just left her house. Hehehehe. Siovhan Bolton hahaha i can believe that, especially because if we're honest that little girl sang at the top of her lungs 95% of the time. the other 5% she was asleep (between midnight and 5am). Myrna Trauntvein I had no problem with the midnight. It was a good thing that you had a grandpa for the 5 a.m. part.

It could help LHT, Eric and the others who have inherited the problem. WOW! I know it will be some time before it can be used generally but it is fantastic news. Getting rid of tremors would be a great blessing for many.
