First I'm going to rant because now that I'm not in charge anymore I CAN!! :) We, as in the Younger Sisters in our Ward, have got to start getting ourselves to RS Meeting! I have said it before, I was not a regular RS goer, in fact I never went until I was asked to assist Leah Jane. I know as well as anyone how hard it is to drag yourself to one more thing, but RS is the one thing that feeds your soul and gives you the spiritual boost you need! I know I don't feel refreshed or uplifted after I have drug myself to one more thing in my already busy life, but RS Meeting is the exception! If I can make it, ANYONE can make it! Let's use last night as an example, Warren was leaving for California, Kylan and Kylee were out doing chores and in the time I ran to go get my Babysitter, Warren had met up with the kids some how and VANISHED!! He didn't have his phone with him, I had no idea where they had gone, Kirby knew what was up and that I was leaving and was having NONE of it! So I had a screaming baby, two lost kids, and a Husband that I couldn't find and was not going to be able to say goodbye to and left my house feeling like I was scattered in a million different directions! I won't even go into what the last few weeks have been like not to mention the last few days! Warren is rarely home to keep the kids, and when he is home, the last thing I want to do is leave when I don't see him very much as it is, but I am ALWAYS so glad I worked it into my schedule and made it a priority, it is where we SHOULD be! Stop making excuses and get to RS Meeting!!
The other thing is THIS BLOG!! What will happen to it? One idea that I had was we could turn it into a "Ward" blog where all the Presidencies could post about whatever they wanted to.... I guess we'll have to see who will be the new RS Coordinator and if she wants to keep the blog going, I hope someone will, now that I'll be out of the Loop I want somewhere to go to stay informed of all that is going on!! :)

Visiting Teaching Conference 2010 Cont.
Ok, the next time you hear "Marsha Reaves is in charge of the food," you better sit up and pay attention because you WILL want to be there! What a Talented Lady! I want to THANK her for putting so much time and talent into our meal! Everything was so well done and not to mention DELICIOUS!!!! Let me just show you some pics....
If I could only describe this cheese ball to you! Marsha put one of these on each table, it was not only the Yummiest thing I have ever tasted, they were SO PRETTY!! It's a good thing I had to keep standing up during the program or I could have sat there and eaten the whole thing!! WOW!!
Then there were these little pieces of heaven! Marsha called these a cream puff, all I know is that they were SO TASTY! They were little Chicken Sandwiches unlike any I have ever tasted, and by far the best I have ever had! I NEED this recipe!!!
The food was almost to pretty to eat.... the key word here is almost!
For Dessert we she did a fruit salad and we had this amazingly moist pound cake with a fruit topping and home made cream to go on top! Marsha made absolutely EVERYTHING by hand! There was no "Cool Whip" here ladies, she went above and beyond her call of duty! Oh, and of course sliced almonds to top it all off!
I want to again THANK all of those that helped with everything! We have some AMAZINGLY Talented Sisters that make our Ward GREAT!! Thanks!!

Visiting Teaching Conference 2010
Shirley Hart was our Speaker and she did such a great job! She talked about the importance of Visiting Teaching and touched a little on the History of our Relief Society. She told some good stories about NewCastle and I could have listened for hours! Thanks Shirley you truly are someone we all look up and admire!
Carma, Shirley, Bea, Katherine, Norma, Ellen and ReVoe (not pictured) are the Amazing Sisters that we spotlighted and have been faithful Visiting Teachers for over 50 Years!! I just Love these Sisters, I enjoyed hearing about each of them and want to give them a HUGE THANKS from all of us!

Visiting Teaching Conference!!!!
So I have been a space case this last week, I hope we got the word out about our VT Conference this week! I didn't even have Bishop announce it in Sacrament! Please make sure everyone knows, it is going to be GREAT! If nothing else just come to get out of making Dinner and let Marsha do it for you! Marsha Reeves is in charge of our Meal and it is sure be Outstanding! Oh by the way, I have been "bribing" the Elders with treats to make sure they encourage their wives to come, so if your husband excepted bribery then doesn't follow through, he's in BIG TROUBLE!! :)
