Last night was our Yourng Women "New Beginnings program. Mandie and Heidi Score were in charge of the food and decorations, but then Mandie ended up going to visit
Grandpa Washburn in Idaho with Andrew and Jamie during Andrew's spring break while I stayed home with the high school girls, so Mandie wanted me to help Heidi. They had planned to have a Bee theme and I just got crazy Monday and made this Beehive out of French Bread Dough. It stands about 2 feet high and barely fit on the bottom rack of my oven. I made the bees out of mini twix candy bars, yellow frosting and yellow orange slices I got at Wal-Mart. The bees are perched on store-bought oatmeal cookies. I made rolls to go with it and the Score's made the honey butter. I baked the rolls at the church so they would be hot when the program was over, They were all devoured. The stake Young Women's president asked me if she could keep the beehive. She took it home and froze it so she can use it for leadership meeting this month.
The good news about having 6 daughters is, that even if two of them are gone and you miss them so much, you still have 2 more daughters to go do things with. How blessed am I? This is Rachel and Emily. This will be Emily's last "New Beginnings." She graduates in June. She plans to go to the local college here to become an RN. Rachel graduates next year and wants to be a dental hygienist, They are both looking forward to the Mormon Prom coming up April 10th.We have had a great time shopping for prom attire. I will blog about it!Unrelated to this happy event, Mandie, Jamie and Andrew were in a serious accident on their way home from Idaho. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt, but the car was totalled after Andrew hit some unexpected black ice. The car rolled several times. They were in Oregon when it happened. Andrew's brother Dave picked them up and they are back at grandpa's. Our pilot buddy Doug had them all lined up on first class seats home on Delta, but unknown to Doug, the airline had an embargo on buddy passes during this Easter weekend, so even though the plane was wide open, they could not fly (at least without considerable cost--not like what we pay when Doug can get us on a flight.) Looks like they are going to have to rent a car and drive the 15 hours home. Two bad breaks but we are very, very thankful that our family was spared from serious injury or death. The Lord answered our prayers for safety.
