I am in desperate need of organizing ALL my recipes. Years and years ago I typed my mom's recipe book using WordPerfect. But, I don't want to do that again, or add to that because it is too time consuming to alphabetize and manage them. Over the years, I have collected many new recipes. Most of these are just written on scraps of paper and stuck inside my binder (what a mess). I want something that I can sort by title and also assign categories for each recipe. SO, if anyone has used a good recipe organizing program, please let me know which one. I would be ever so grateful!


I guess a quick up-date is in order since it has been so long since I posted anything worthwhile. School is going great so far. Dan has the usual 9th grade classes, and he is really enjoying seminary. We measured everyone the week before school started and he was 5'9". We measured him again last week and he was 5'10". Who knows, he is probably even taller than that this week. That boy is growing like a weed. He is going to be in the school play again this Fall. He started guitar lessons and is doing really well. His teacher is amazed at how quickly he is learning.

Alyssa is doing great in 6th grade. She is also taking guitar and doing very well. I REALLY love to hear her practice because she sings along. She has a beautiful voice (she gets that from her dad's side of the family I think). She also is taking a ballroom dance class. They actually needed more girls in the advanced class, and so she jumped in and is doing great! She is still doing gymnastics too. She is quite a busy girl.

Lindsay likes third grade even though they really make them work. They have to do 3 book reports per month. Luckily they are just written pages, not projects that parents have to do. She takes tumbling and just moved up to the intermediate level. And, two weeks ago she started piano lessons. She has been wanting to take piano forever!

I still work at the school. I get to help in the 6th grades and am in Alyssa's class for an hour every day. She says she likes it (weird huh).

Rick just works and works and works, and occasionally golfs, and goes to BYU games with Dan.

Other than that, it is just the same old, same old here.

FYI

I am going to send in an order for MaryKay. If you are interested in anything, let me know by this Friday, Sept. 19. I do NOT have any catalogs, so if you need to look at products, you will have to go to the Marykay.com website. I will try to call those who have ordered before and see if you want anything. Remember - - I don't keep any stock on hand, and will not order again until probably the first of the year, so stock up.
