The Holidays are almost upon us...

Best Wishes from The Daily Item

The Ketchum Krud

I've been sick the last 4 days. Seeking a priesthood blessing I invited some men over to administer to my sick self. Before the blessing My friend Kary Yates announced to me that I had the "Ketchum Krud." A nasty condition that awaits most newcomers to the valley, he described the symptoms in detail (it sounded a lot like the common cold). Anyway... this nice person brought his own home remedy for me to take. He even made it for me. The contents were this: Idaho Bee Honey and Lemon Juice. You combine those two ingredients and heat to 900 Kelvin (dang hot!). Then drink. I did. Tart and Tasty I must say. "oh and drink this..." he said. As he handed me a bottle of Nyquil! I puckered through the entire blessing.

Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner....

Ever have those days where you wish you could escape from the bonds of the status quo and just jump into a nearby Weinermobile and jet off into the sunset? Me too. 'sko!

Our entire family loves the Ames and we are grateful for their friendship!
