About Me

SIMPLY...plainly: without embellishment. Just so you'll have no expectations, that's why I named my blog "Simply Sherrie". I don't do much on the computer, I'm not very creative, and our daily routine with just Reg, Suki (our cat) and myself is not very exciting. So here we go, the important thing is that my life as a blogger is about to begin......

March 1st and Sunday Six

Yeah, it's March 1st which means Winter is over and the time will be changing soon! One more week and I will feel like I finally have the rest of my day back. I can't stand it when it gets dark by 5:30. But I made it and my favorite time of year is just beginning. Also in March we have 3 birthdays, Lance, Lucy, and Cade. This is the month I really try and get organized or begin to at least. Spring cleaning, clean out files, income taxes , plant my garden, etc. So for this month this is my goal (again, still, and on going).......D&C 88:119 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God; And now my Sunday Six.........ONE Friday night we went with Jim and Nancy up to Cedar City to see the Vienna Boys Choir. They were darling, not to mention how talented they were. Their voices are like little angels. They range in age from 10 to 14 and they come from around the world, but mostly they are from Austria. They were very entertaining and once again we had a great outing with are best friends.

TWO For Family Home Evening we added some things to our 72 hour back backs like........


hand wipes, sunscreen, juice boxes, can opener, 36 hr. candles, hand shovel, etc. My question is to the rest of my family," Are you adding to yours or did you just take them home after Christmas and put them on a shelf to forget about them?" You can do it , just add one thing a week!



THREE This past week many people in the family were traveling on the highways. Reg had to go to Richfield for work, Jen went to Calif. to dance, and we went to Vegas to take Grandma to the Dr. Anyway everyone got home safely which is always good .

FOUR Mom had a "good" check up at the Dr. It's almost been a year since her surgery so we're about done with the Dr. in Vegas and feel grateful she has done so well.
FIVE While in Vegas we went to Nordstrom to look for me a pair of jeans. I have been looking for a pair of jeans that felt good and looked good, for a year. At my age and with my body it's hard, they're either cut too low or they're ugly. That seems to be the only 2 choices. I've worn the same 2 pair for the last 3 years. Well as always, if there something out there surely you can find it at Nordstrom and I did. I'm very excited!

SIX We were able to fast as a family for a common purpose today. I love the principal of fasting and prayer. Sometimes it's the ONLY way to feel comfort, receive answers, and show our faith by turning it over to the Lord.

Another great Sunday Six Sherrie! I forgot to mention the Vienna Boys Choir in my SS and I felt bad, I guess I'll have to do a separate post about them. Thanks for setting such a good example about preparedness, I'm trying to get on the bandwagon. I'm glad, too, that Shirley has recovered so well from last year, miracles all around us!!

Thanks to you and Dad for living so close...we too are adding to our 72 hour kits. But one question...how heavy are the backpacks going to get? I am not so sure I will be hiking anywhere too far.

The important thing is that you'll have everything in one place and you can find it. You might not be going anywhere or you may want to lighten your load if needed at the time. What hve you added thats so heavy girl?

Confession...we NEED to continue working on our 72 hour kits! Although, I did learn how to pressure cook chicken a few weeks back!

As for the family fast, we felt of your love support and prayers in our behalf. Thank you to our family and the Sarager's for be willing to do that for us!

We are doing great on our 72 hour kits and food storage. Bring on the disasters! The Vienna boys Choir would freak me out a little. Will you be traveling to Richfield with Dad once in a while? It's snowing on Hamburger Hill as we speak.- Jason

I realize that I read your post last week and never responded. I am so sorry. I try not to be a 'blog stalker' but every now and then I am.
Like you we are working on preparedness as well. We have always considered a high priority and have lots of food we hope never to eat. We are adding to the supply.
