Craft group will be making this Tooth Fairy tooth on Tuesday June 8th at Lynn Muir's home 7pm. These are great and super cute! No more reaching under the pillow of a sleeping child! :)
For those interested: Please bring felt for tooth, pocket, cheeks, little teeth, and any accessories you add, like the crown and ballerina skirt. (we also have white felt for the teeth, and lots of small felt scraps for decor/accessories, ribbon for the hanging loop, buttons for eyes, Fabritac or other fabric glue, matching thread, embroidery floss, etc... (we have a bunch left over from another craft, I will have it.),optional pipe cleaners for wings, poly stuffing (Bring 25 cents for stuffing. We will buy a bag. Two of the 8 x 11.5 pieces of felt work great for the tooth. Or 8 inches off the bolt.
Cafe Rio Pork 1 pork loin 2 cups pace medium salsa 2 cups brown sugar Put in your slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low. Shred and let sit for one more hour.
Lime Rice 3 cups of rice 3 cups of water 1/2 onion 1/2 bunch cilantro 1 can green chilies 4 t garlic- minced 4 t chicken bouillon 1/2 t salt 1 T butter 4 T lime juice Blend/Chop onion, cilantro, and chilies in a food processor (or you can just chop onion and cilantro by hand). Then put all ingredients in with the rice and cook; either on stove or in a rice cooker. I did it in my rice cooker. So, I added 3 cups of rice to 3 cups water, then added in the blended stuff PLUS the rest of the ingredients, mixed it up and closed the lid. I don't think you have to be exact with this, it pretty much always turns out good. Some people like to add jalapenos to the rice or dressing for more spice. But, I am not a spicy person :)
Creamy Cilantro Dressing 1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (dry mix) 1 cup buttermilk 1/2-1 bunch of cilantro, chopped 1 cup mayo 2 tsp. lime juice 2 tomatillos (remove outer papery skin) 2 garlic cloves Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor. Refrigerate.
I enjoyed cooking it for you sisters! Glad you all liked it! LOVE- Lynn Muir

On Saturday May 1, Felicita Flight 2010 had a little "layover" at beautiful Double Peak Park in San Marcos.
We were treated to a wonderful view, breakfast and short devotional. A group of sisters sang "How Great Thou Art" as we sat in the amphitheater and took in the vast view of hills, valleys and ocean. Then we had our keynote (and only) speaker, Cathy Nielsen and closed with the song "Nearer My God To Thee". Cathy started her speech with a lively demonstration. She took sisters out of the audience to perform "Row Row Row Your Boat". She showed us how we can take something ordinary and make it fantastic. (See video).
After the impromptu "performance" Cathy said the following... "As we row our boat down our own personal stream of life, do we fix our eye on what’s straight ahead of us? Or do we look around and take in what’s all around us as we “mosey” on down the river? Are we enjoying the ride? The greatest satisfactions in our lives don’t come from singing solos. They come from adding something more to the music, creating beautiful harmonies. 'Life is a big canvas; throw all the paint on it you can.' -- Danny Kaye ..
Gordon B. Hinckley 'Let us rise to the high ground of spiritual, mental and physical excellence. Let us all try to stand a little taller, rise a little higher, and be a little better. Make the extra effort. You will be happier. You will know a new satisfaction, a new gladness in your heart.' We can’t limit ourselves, sisters. We have to expand ourselves-work outside our boat. How do we do that? By choosing a more excellent way...
Our Relief Society Presidency has challenged us, to expand ourselves a little more in the areas of service, knowledge and spirituality. They have been inspired to bring this challenge to us this year so we can more align our lives to the example given to us by our Savior, Jesus Christ. Seneca said: “The wise man will always reflect concerning the quality, not the quantity of life.” This is my prayer that regardless of our past, that in 2010, we can row our boat down the stream more merrily, making exaltation with our Heavenly Father a reality." Cathy Nielsen
