Arizona trip part 1

Yikes....it's hard to be away from home without my trusty desk top computer. I should have a lap top for occasional out of town trips, which are just that - sooooo occasional, I figure it's a time to go computer free. However, I can't race through the blogs I follow and check up on my on line friends, like JEN, who needs our prayers or Lindsay, with the terrific tutorials. On the other hand I've been sewing while visiting in Arizona at my twin sister's home. I brought my camera and have taken pictures of my projects, but I can't download to her computer (even short term.) Thus it will be a very calm week, a computer fast, for the most part.

For starters this week I have accumulated new recipes from Deb, who is the most awesome cook. Today she taught a RS cooking class "All Things with Oatmeal." Yum, yum, yum....and what a bunch of fun loving creative gals that she meets with who also share recipes of their own. You know you can't stop the talking behind the scenes and we ran the gamut! I know all about Heritage Makers now, home-made deodorant using coconut oil (which I probably have the recipe for on this blog already, I'll double check and update my labels,) drying figs, using your wheat grinder for grinding beans, green smoothies, adding shredded zucchini to any foods as the zucchini acquires the taste of the food it's being added to, etc. etc. etc. These topics were all on the side while we sampled oatmeal bars, oatmeal pancakes, oatmeal rolls, cold oatmeal porridge and other oatmeal  treats. These women multi-task!!!

So I probably won't even look at the computer until Sunday, as we are drawing close to Friday when I get to go to the Arizona Family History Expo!!!!! Yeah, yeah, and yeah, again. I came to Arizona to see my sister, but this added little day came quite unexpected and I am thrilled as it is my first ever expo. My worry? What if I love it so much I want to go to all the expos on the West Coast? Oh, no!!!
