COOKIE CRUMBS: Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.

It is suppose to get warm next week, so I got to work. I have been turning holey pant into shorts. I liked the results of this so much last year I have been saving their pants all winter.

We figure Lizzy has a pant life of about 4 1/2 months. In her defence, three of these pant actually got to short instead of ripping out in the knee. Not in her defense 7 pairs are for Lizzy only 3 for ShiAnne. I guess if you don't count the ones that got to short that is only 4 to 3 ratio between the girls. I have at least one more pair for each girl that is just starting to rip out.
