Me and My Big Mouth

So it seems that my good friend Lisa has been paying attention to my blog and all the bragging I've been doing over my gardening adventures. This in turn gave her the idea several weeks ago to ask me to speak at her ward's upcoming gardening group. Wowsa! Apparently my bragging has made people think I actually know what I'm talking about! Nevertheless, I accepted the assignment. When I asked what she wanted me to talk about, she said to talk about what I'd been learning, and that it didn't need to be more than 45 minutes. Um - 45 minutes? Oy vey!

Anyhoo - this last Thursday evening I went and presented. There only ended up being a few ladies there, but that was fine. Made me less nervous that way. I talked about how I got started with this goal, the studying I've done, the class I took, the plant sales I went to, the gospel applications, etc. And before I knew it, the 45 minutes was up! I think Lisa was pleased with the effort, and hopefully it gave the ladies that were there some good ideas.

(By the way, I'm also available for birthday parties and bar mitzvahs.)

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle... From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff. But nothing really excited me there. However, the outlet is located...

Columbia River Temple

While I was at home in Oregon, the parents and I also took some time to drive over to Tri-Cities, Washington, to visit the Columbia River Temple, and walk around the grounds. The temple was closed for cleaning, but it was great to be on the grounds anyway. It was a beautiful day, capped off by a BYU win over Nebraska (you can see by Dad's shirt that he's representing, which most of us Mormons are wont to do whenever we go anywhere).
