Chilling at Cheryl's Cabin
Thank you to the many hands that made last night so much fun. Who knew that Lili Roberts had almost been arrested, and Anna Hamstead just avoided the Feds? The food was amazing, the setting spectacular and the company the best. Thanks sisters for a great evening! What do you say... next year, same bat time, same bat place? Finally, remember to close your closet doors before you go to sleep.

Cherie said, "I love studying the Book of Mormon with our ward sisters. It is very low-key and a great way to share insights and learn from each other. Come and try it out!"
We will be studying Mosiah 14 & 15 on August 20. Try it, you'll like it!

August Dinner is Done!!
We had a great eclectic group at our last "Dinner is Done." We had a great time creating dinners for each other. I love to look across the table and think, "Hey, I'm making dinner for the Olsen's and Nelson's." I then think, "And look at all these ladies making dinner for me." The camaraderie, service for one another, and laughs made for a very entertaining evening. Here are the recipes we made. Watch for the next chance to make freezer dinners on September 4th.
