December Catch Up

I posted back in March of 2011 that George and I were asked to attend church in the Plummer Branch for 18 months, we have faithufully been going for 21 months and this morning we recieved our release from our duties in Plummer. Plummer is a little tiny town on the reservation, it has been a small struggling branch and therefor the Stake President has asked several couples to serve there and help build up the branch.. it has been a very rewarding experience, the people there are so sweet and kind and they have loved George and I. While we were serving there the membership grew so much that they are adding on to the current building and now we are meeting in the community center in town. I LOVE this old building, it has so much charm and character to it. We will miss the members in Plummer... I wont miss the 45 minute drive tho! It has been a great 21 months and now we are anxious to be back in our home ward.

This is the Plummer Branch building getting a new addition

This is the Community Building that we are meeting in until the ward building is done

this old building has so many cool things about it, love these old hardwood floors

this old door leads into the room where we hold our services

this is a very old piano that does not play so well... right now our organist is using a keyboard.

love all the woodwork and old carvings.

This is my friend Robin Lowe...she is amazing, she turns junk into treasures. You would not believe the talent that this lady has. Love her to pieces.

This is our little branch Primary children..soo sweet.

O.k.. I have been baking like crazy getting ready to bring treats to our friends..made these little goodies and set them on my table to cool and came back about  20 minutes later to find this.....

Yes...an empty pan.. at first I thought George took them out and put them in a different container..so I asked him and he said No... guess who ATE  my GOODIES?????

Yes.. BAD DOG.. he ate the whole pan.. and they were chocolate and it didnt do a single thing to him...Oh I was FURIOUS, I yelled at George and slammed doors... what to do with this dog?????   I made another batch today. Will he ever out grow this bad behavior?

 All my treats were made from ideas I found on pinterest. Thank  you Pinterest!!
