Music Makers

Due to some of the guidelines of the recent restructuring of the Relief Society, Music Makers will no longer be a formal enrichment group. But don't worry, we are still planning to continue to meet weekly as a group and do all the fun songs and activities that we always have. Things will pretty much go on like they always have, except meetings will not be announced at church and reminders won't be sent out by a member of the Relief Society presidency. That's where I come in. Wendee has asked me to take over the group and be in charge of notifying people each month of our location. I am compiling a list of everyone who is interested in being notified of Music Maker happenings. You're on this list because you either 1) have come to Music Makers in the past or 2) seem like someone who would be interested in joining us in the future. If you really don't want to get these e-mails, just let me know and I'll take you off the list. Currently we meet on Fridays at 10:00 am in the home of a hostess that rotates each month. If anyone has an opinion about changing the day and/or time so it would make it easier for them to attend, now is the time to do it. Also we still have a few months open to host - contact me if you are interested. And let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions. Remember the rest of this month will be at Luz Lopez's home, 5245 Neosho Street. Thanks ladies!

Salad recipes from enrichment night

Grape salad -Sheila Moen
1 pound seedless green grapes
1 pound seedless red grapes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 (6 ounce) package slivered almonds

Pasta Salad-Alicia Alba

salted, cooked, and rinsed pasta (my favorite is the tri-colored rotini, but whatever you have is fine)
whole cherry tomatoes (or diced tomatoes - but they go bad faster if you're keeping it in the refrigerator)
whole olives, drained
bell peppers, sliced small
mushrooms, sliced
mozarella cheese, cubed (or sliced string cheese)
fresh basil, sliced into small pieces
Zia's Italian Dressing (the fat free is way better than the full-fat - hooray!)
Anything else you think would taste good (broccoli, cucumbers, artichoke hearts, croutons - you get the idea)

The ratios and ingredients are all up to you. Have fun, and bon apetit!

Mango-Broccoli Salad-Leigh Christensen

4 cups chopped fresh broccoli
1 large ripe mango; seeded, peeled, and diced
1/2 cup cashews
1 small red onion, cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup bottled buttermilk ranch salad dressing
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 11-ounce can mandarin orange sections, drained

In a large salad bowl combine broccoli, mango, cashews, and onion. For dressing, in a small bowl stir together ranch dressing, orange juice, and horseradish. Pour over broccoli mixture; toss to coat. Gently stir in mandarin orange sections. Serve immediately or cover and chill up to 2 hours.

Makes 8 side-dish servings.

Summer Pools

*Watson Trails Park Pool, free Thursday evenings
*Raging Rivers, 100 Palisades Parkway in Grafton, Illinois
*www.ragingrivers.com Riverchase in Fenton, Missouri has water slides, an indoor and outdoor pool, the standard Lazy River and other activities for children. It's located at 990 Horan Drive , Fenton , MO. Telephone: (636) 343-0067 or 349-2223 (hotline) Admission price is $5.00 for adult residents of Fenton. $7.00 for non-residents
*Aquaport is brand new and has a Lazy River, six different water slides and Wacky water for children. Admission price is $5.00 for adults and $4.00 for children. *www.marylandheights.com/index.aspx?page=97
* Splash City over in Collinsville, Illinois features a sand play area for the kids, tents for parties, a Lazy River, several different water slides, and a water playground. www.splashcity.com

There are 3 pools in the city, but I haven't been to any of them. They are supposedly free for city residents, but not in very good shape. I think the closest one to you is just west of Grand. The website is: http://stlouis.missouri.org/citygov/parks/recreation_div/pools.html

And then, of course, there is always the Tower Grove wading pool!

And coming this September (alas, too late for the summer!), the new City Rec center will open at Loughborough and Hwy 55.

Other than that, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, the Des Peres Lodge (which is a bit of a drive, but definitely worth it for their indoor pool when it's freezing in January!) and various other small cities all have great swimming pools with kiddie areas, but require that you live within their boundaries or are a guest of someone in their boundaries. Except, you can get around this by going to their Toddler Times. The perks are that you don't have to be a resident and you only pay for your kid's admittance. The only downside is that their Toddler Times are at a specific time which might not coordinate with nap schedules. I've listed their websites below.

Watson Trails park on the free evenings....
or you can come over to the moens we only have a 16 foot pool about 3 1/2 inches deep...
the ymca has the indoor pool
or make friends with someone who lives in a subdivision with a community pool....
other than that you have pay to belong....

I don't know of any free pools but my kids like to go to Herb's Park/Pool (Watson Trails). Six Flags has a water park included (although it's pricey). We have a 3 ft. pool medium size above ground that you and your kids would be welcome to come over and use as well. My kids of course love sprinklers and slip n slides too. You can make a homemade slip n slide with a big tarp and some liquid soap squirted on it and then put the hose spraying down it. The kids get clean & have fun!
Call me if you want more info on anything or if you want to bring your kids for a swim!

Since the Dopps are moving on to their next adventure, Sarah Fly will be losing her violin teacher. If you teach violin, or know someone who does that you’d be willing to recommend, please contact Merilyn Fly at 314-752-3411. Sarah is twelve and has been taking lessons for about a year now.

Red Wheat

I have four 33lb cases of Hard Red Wheat (6 No.10 cans in each) that we do not need (we already have a lot of Red Wheat and I'd like to purchase some other neccessities now instead). Ken picked them up for us back in September so they are still quite new and were bought before the price increase. The price per case was $18.30 so if anyone needs some food storage wheat and wants to save themselves some time and gas money to the cannery they can just buy these off of us! Anyone interested can call me at 314-272-4299. Thanks!

Creepy creepy crawling..

Five busy honey bees

Five busy honey bees were resting in the sun.
The first one said, "Let us have some fun."
The second one said, "Where shall it be?"
The third one said, "In the honey tree."
The fourth one said, "Let's make some honey sweet."
The fifth one said, "With pollen on our feet."
The five little busy bees sang their buzzing tune,
As they worked in the beehive all that afternoon.
Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz!

Insects All Around
Improvise a tune or sing to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

Lady bugs and butterflies,
Buzzing bees up in the sky.

Crawling up and down the plants
Many insects can be found
In the sky and on the ground.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left all their tails behind them.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece as white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go!

To see a lamb at school.
