Tonight was our Relief Society Birthday Celebration!
It's always so much fun to get together with other women to share good food and good conversation and be entertained.
We celebrated the contribution the Relief Society has made to so many lives, so much so that the average Laurel would never realize its impact.

Don't you just love these centerpieces. I think she did such a beautiful job with them! I'm thankful they shared the recipes of what we made and brought with us. So I have them handy for my use from any internet connection, any day, I'll share them here too. We served minestrone soup, rolls, and key lime pie.

2 chopped onions
2 T. green peppers
4 stalks celery chopped
2c. potatoes, diced

1/4 c. barley
1 1/2 qt. water
1 c. tomato or V8 juice
6 whole allspice
1 bay leaf

2 T. parsley
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
salt, pepper, season salt, garlic salt to taste
Simmer 3-4 hours or put in crockpot for 10-11 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high.
I'd suggested sorbet to cleanse the pallet and they decided to serve it this fun way.

Program
Our program was two part -- first a play about the role of Relief Society and then 3 sisters shared how RS stepped in to help each of them. I know I've been helped by the Relief Society organization. It doesn't matter where I've lived or visited, I've found instant friends, enrichment and consistency.
I'm so grateful for Relief Society in my life.
