Butter Milk

Just A quick note about Butter Milk. I discovered Butter Milk about six years ago. I remember my Dad saying it is the greatest on a hot summer day when it is nice and cold! Do you know what! It really is! When ever I go shopping I usually pick some up and Ginny will surprise me with it so we will have it in the house a lot of the time. I have to be in a mood to drink it so it can be in the fridge a while. Mom told me once that butter milk never gets old so don't go buy the date. She is right! Last Wednesday we had a Job in St Johns but it went into Thursday so we stayed over night in Vernon. I found some in the fridge and it was anywhere from, well Ginny says a year, I say nine months. Any way I tasted it and it was fine! So we used it to make french toast dip. It added a zip! Today we used it in creamed green beans instead of milk. we have used it in waffles and pan cakes too as well as all sorts of recipes! So next time you go to the store pick up a quart or two and use your imagination if not for just a tall cold glass full on a hot summer day!

The other day Ginny and I were at Jesse and Amanda's and as I walked in Paisley was eating and when she heard my voice she wiggled into a position so she could see me. She gave me the biggest smile! Who could resist but pick her up and just love her! Well one thing led to another and before you know it I was rough housing her and she was laughing and screaming with joy and then it happened!!!!!!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do Unto Others

As I get older I have noticed how "Great Teaching Moments" will just all of a sudden come to mind. Am I crazy or does this happen to you?
Saturday after work, I took Nick home and he was telling me about a under ground fort he and his friend was digging in his back yard. I told him about all the under ground forts my brothers and I dug growing up. I told Nick about the last big one Randy dreamed up and how he hired a Brother in the Ward to Dig it for him with his back hoe. Then one of those "Great Teaching Moments" came to mind.
This brother had a son that was "different" and I remember my Dad telling us we need to involve his son in our under ground fort activities. I can't explain why but that simple advise really made a big impact on me. I was about nine or ten years old. It impressed upon me for the rest of my life as to how I should treat people that might be "different".
Thanks Dad and Mom!!!!!!!!
