Book Group Reminder

Book Group is this Thursday, December 3rd at 8:30 pm at Lacey Schofield's house.  The book we are discussing is The Santa Letters by Stacy Gooch-Anderson.  Here is a brief overview of the book:


One year ago on Christmas Eve, William died. For Emma, the hit-and-run driver killed more than her husband; he killed her joy in life itself. Now, as Christmas approaches again, Emma Jensen finds herself sinking into a depression that nothing can breach; not her job, not her love for her children, and certainly not the season. Money is tight, and emotions are taut, and this year Christmas will be a meager, empty, and painful experience. Only six-year-old McKenna believes in miracles and the magic of Christmas. The rest of the family knows that Christmas can never be the same. But when a mysterious package and an ornate letter arrive on the doorstep, things begin to change. Each day, a package and a letter signed Santa arrive for the family, and together they come to understand that the joy of Christmas does not have to be lost forever, and that God s love can heal any wound, no matter how deep. The Santa Letters will take the Jensens on a journey through a Christmas experience that will have the power to heal them all.

Feel free to come even if you haven't read the book.  You will still be able to participate in this discussion just by drawing from your own Christmas experiences.  Hope to see you there!

Bentonville Christmas Parade

Downtown Bentonville is hosting its annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 5, at 11am.

2009 Parade Theme – Songs of the Holidays

With over 90 entries, including floats and marching groups, this is one of the largest daytime parades in the state. Schools, civic groups, corporations and small businesses, churches and nonprofits all participate. It is truly a community event! Come down early and stick around after the parade for family activities on the Downtown Square.

Peel Mansion

Today when we went through the Peel Mansion (by Bentonville Wal-Mart) two things came to light.

1. Dec 9 & 10, from 4-7pm they will host an open house. (No charge)
2. It looks like the “Director” for the mansion will be retiring in the very near future, possibly the next few weeks.

If you like history, fund raising, working with volunteers and directing the restoration of the mansion, this could be a very nice position.

If interested, you would need to contact the volunteers at the mansion and get the information on who to contact on the board of trustees.

Thank you,
KIRK LYMAN

Free Dog

The Copher family has a dog to give away if anyone is interested. She is a 2 year old Border Collie who has been spayed and obeys very well. She is very good with kids and loves to play with them. She will require someone with a large yard and time to take her for walks or play with her. Border Collies are awesome dogs, but need interaction and a way to burn energy on a regular basis. We just have too many dogs and need to thin them out.

If anyone is interested they can call me on my cell at 721-6196.

Volunteer Opportunity on Thanksgiving

Dave and I signed up to volunteer at Salvation Army in Bentonville on Thanksgiving morning from 8am-11am. Originally, two of his family members were going to be volunteering with us, but they have pulled out. We have 2 spots that need to be filled so we don't leave Salvation Army in a crunch with not a lot of time to find someone. Our time slot is to help in the kitchen with food prep. They have asked that only teens and adults assist in the kitchen.

If you are interested, please email Cori Graham dncgraham4vr@yahoo.com or call my cell 586-0005. Additionally - we will be having our Thanksgiving Dinner a day late since we will be gone all morning, and whoever volunteers with us is invited to join us Friday evening for a big turkey dinner.

Kendall Lindsey is Home!

We got to come home today after 10 long days of roller coaster care at a wonderful hospital! Kendall's fluid is absorbing on it's own and so we THANKFULLY didn't have to drain her lung. Chest tubes hanging out of my baby wouldn't have been fun. They did insert a PICC catheder (IV that goes almost right to her heart, with it hanging out above the inside of her elbow) and we will be doing IV antibiotics for about 3 weeks depending on her weekly blood work. She won't return to school until after Thanksgiving but we are really looking forward to having to keep her from playing too hard now that we are home. We just wanted to thank you all for the emails, service to our family while we were gone, thoughts and prayers. You have no idea how they helped us through this scary and stressful time in our lives.




We love you,

Alisha and Matt Lindsey

Baby Formula for Sale

Anyone interested in getting Similac Advanced Infant Formula at a great price? I just recently stocked up on 6 tubs of it from Sam's and then the following week found out our little girl is allergic to it so we are now on Soy. In case you are wondering, these tubs have the blue snap lid and are 34 oz (a little bigger than the ones sold at Walmart) and are still sealed shut. I bought them on October 19th for $28 each but am willing to sell them to anyone interested for $20/tub. Feel free to call or email me if you are interested. They don't expire until March of 2011.

Suggested blue book retails at $15,265. We are asking $13,998 which is what we owe on it still.

Please contact Bart or Josie Malquist if you are interested or would like more information.

Truck for Sale

Please contact Tim Costello if you are itnerested.  See information below:

This will be a great deal for someone. Book is about $1300-1400 in the condition it is in...put about $1600 into it not counting the extra parts I have for it.


Started a new company and have no time left.

Asking: $1400.00

1984 Ford F250 (3/4 ton) 6.9 Ltr Diesel Supercab long bed with a 1988-1996 F350 (1 ton) dually read end running single tires

Some features:

• Dual tanks
• Motor starts and runs great
• New windshield glass
• New windshield wipers
• New windshield fluid motor
• 4 new tires (less than 500 miles on them)
• Brakes: Rear – new drums, new shoes, new spring kit, new brake cylinders
• Brakes: Front – new rotors, new pads.
• New master cylinder
• Batteries/Starting system
• Two new batteries
• New battery connectors (replaced the ones that needed replacing)
• New starter (approx 1.5 year old now – first thing installed)
• Block heater will need a new plug…(but worked until the old plug wires broke)

Interior

• New dash skin – installed on old dash very nicely (just needs screwed back into dash in)
• New carpet from ACC– not installed
• New door skins – not installed (the old ones were eaten up by the sun)
• New door arm elbow pads – not installed
• 2009 Ford truck center console – not installed
• New turn signal switch - not installed
• New blower motor and squirrel cage – not installed

I disassembled the whole dash and ventilation system to clean it out and get the mud daubers hornet’s old nests out (yes…some as big as my fist)

The front tank gage reads fuel but by the time it gets about 4-5 gallons down it says empty. When switched to the rear tank…never gets off of empty. Just have not played with that one yet.

I have done all the stuff you would need to do if you had bought this truck…I will never get out of it what I put into it. Hey…you benefit!! Safety first.


Why am I selling my project truck…buying a home and do not have time for it. Wife has other projects for me. I was buying parts over last fall and winter waiting for spring to get here to work on it….now someone can buy this truck (and all the parts that come with it) and in a few weekends will have a nice rig.

December Book Group

Ladies,

Our numbers for the November discussion of The Lost Symbol were small, but we had a great time! Thank you Dana for hosting...it was great to meet your sister, and we really enjoyed the chocolate fountain!

For December we will be reading The Santa Letters by Stacy Gooch-Anderson. Here is a brief overview of the book:

One year ago on Christmas Eve, William died. For Emma, the hit-and-run driver killed more than her husband; he killed her joy in life itself. Now, as Christmas approaches again, Emma Jensen finds herself sinking into a depression that nothing can breach; not her job, not her love for her children, and certainly not the season. Money is tight, and emotions are taut, and this year Christmas will be a meager, empty, and painful experience. Only six-year-old McKenna believes in miracles and the magic of Christmas. The rest of the family knows that Christmas can never be the same. But when a mysterious package and an ornate letter arrive on the doorstep, things begin to change. Each day, a package and a letter signed Santa arrive for the family, and together they come to understand that the joy of Christmas does not have to be lost forever, and that God s love can heal any wound, no matter how deep. The Santa Letters will take the Jensens on a journey through a Christmas experience that will have the power to heal them all.


We will meet Thursday, December 3rd, at 8:30 PM at Lacey Schofield's house.

If you are interested in participating in a group order for this book, please contact Nicole Bingham at bingham_family@hotmail.com. The book will be approximately $13.50 (give or take a little depending on how many people order). Please let Nicole know by Wednesday night. She will be placing the order on Thursday.  You are also welcome, as always, to buy the book on your own.  Sometimes you can find the books cheaper on Amazon or some similiar website.  We just can't guarantee the quantity available, so we don't offer that option initially. 

Happy Reading!

Babysitting Trade for Temple Trips Group

For those who may not be aware, there is a youth wrestling club in Bentonville for ages 5 and up. The first practice/orientation will be this Thursday (Nov 5) at Barker Middle School. Wrestling is a popular sport for kids across the nation, but is fairly new to Arkansas. If you have any interest, please let me know. There are several coaches helping out--among them are myself and John Visser (from the Stake High Council).

The practices are Mon, Tue, and Thur at 6:00 pm. The Tuesday practice will be for the more experienced/serious wrestlers. The cost is $65/wrestler.

Please email Jeff Ireland at jeffrochelle@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Candy needed for Humanitarian Service Project

The upcoming project for Humanitarian is making little countdown to Christmas chains for some children at a local shelter.  For this project to be a success, we need donations of plastic Saran Wrap and individually wrapped candies.  All the Halloween candy is now 50% off at Walmart, so it would be a great time to go and buy a bag or two to donate.   =)  Of course, the Christmas candy is now out, so if you want to go more festive, you can buy the Christmas candy, too.  (Things like Hershey kisses, bite size candy bars, or Starbursts are ideal.)

If you are willing contribute, please give donations to Kristen Cornelsen, Melissa Morales, or Lyndsay Jensen.

The date for this activity is next Thursday, November 12.

Can You Help with Babysitting for Temple Trip?

See message below from Edie Atkinson:
Dean and I are interested in attending the ward temple day on the 14th, but would really like to go together this time. We are looking for somebody who is not going to the temple on the 14th but would be interested and willing in watching our two boys ages 6 and 2 the day of the temple trip. Another idea is that we would be willing to swap children with another couple and watch their kids while they go to a session, and then they would watch ours while we go through.

Please reply back Edie at edie.atkinson@gmail.com if you would be willing to either watch their children or else trade with them in OKC.
