Chain saws are for Girls

 Just like old times except I had a chain saw.  Chain saws are for girls...

 Out here in Iowa we do the real thing... we chop and

 saw and saw a little more.  Look at the swelling in the arms??

Elder C:  "Elder H how are you feeling about the service you have done today?"  Elder H: Huh?  Elder C :  "Elder C, "Did you know that chain saws are for girls?"

4:06 AM a loud noise, I'm not going out side in the dark....

 I was all packed and ready to go this morning to Denver.  In the night I heard this loud noise and a crack.  I looked out in the dark and it was dark and so I didn't see anything.....  I got the car packed with the last of the junk and I thought i better take a look around the yard to see if anything was down and low and behold I found something.

 Inches away from the house.  Not even the rain gutter was damaged.  Elder C slept through it but Elder R heard it since he was the closest to the tree.

 The tree was from the snake pit on the cliff.  Yikes

This is going to be a mess and no I didn't leave for Denver and Utah this morning.  

Gremlins in the garage

  Their interpretation is a bit scary.  My life flashed before my eyes

Elder Chores

Planting trees is kind of like rearranging furniture.  Sometimes you just have to move a tree and put the new one in that spot.

Its all amazing each transfer they are called to new areas and they just do it.  They don't complain or pitch a fit they just do it.  So now you know parents the secret is out....

Cinnamon Rolls Elder Style

 Its all in the wrist on how it is rolled.

 A little squishing and squeezing and they some how get a nice roll.

 Who would have thought thread cuts dough??????  They giggle every time they do this.

 Don't forget to grease the pan.

Quality control working...

 Elder G taking charge and doing the next batch.

I think this is a dream of every of any young person to squeeze soft butter and not have your Mom yell at you.
