{Talents through Time}

This last Tuesday our Relief Society celebrated the 170th birthday if its organization. We decided to have a talent show, not only displaying “our” talents, but the talents of Relief Society sisters through the ages. Talents Through Time was the theme.
It was nice to be overseeing the activity as opposed to doing the whole activity! SO NICE! I know I was a lot less stressed!
It was a fun night. It drives me crazy when we put so much time and effort into planning activities and less than half of the sisters show up. ERG! I know, I know….people are busy, life is crazy, bla bla bla….but it’s ONE night! And we feed you food! Lots and lots and lots of food! And you get to talk to other women…without being interrupted! {By your children at least!}
Off my soapbox. I promise! Cause that’s not my point! I promise. My point is: we had a wonderful night. Annndd…..I didn’t share any talents of my own. Come on, the only talent I could think of was to recite the counties of Idaho, in alphabetical order. {If that’s not talent, I don’t know what is!} But, I chickened out. Maybe next time. Maybe next time!
We had a potato bar and salad bar! Super easy, and WAY delish!

My friend, Beth, who is on the planning committee brought all this amazing vintage stuff. She rocks! And now, I the proud owner of the two windows and the door! {I just need to decide where to put them! I am stoked!}

What an amazing heritage we have! I am so blessed to be a part of this great society of women!

  3. And, could you recite them, or would you have to sing them. I would have to sing them, and then the talent goes right out the window...
