ZIPLOC OMELET

OK I have never really tried this myself, but it looks like it would be fun for kids at a family reunion or something.

(This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!!) Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
You can get these ready the night before, and put the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!!!
I used tomatoes, ham, green onions, cheddar cheese and mushrooms in this one! MMMM . . .MMMMMMMM Try it. . . .it really works!!!

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY

Veteran's Day is Today November 11th. It was first celebrated on Nov 11, 1919 as Armistice Day to honor the Veteran's of World War I. In 1938, Armistice Day was made an official American Holiday. After World War II, citizens felt veteran's of all wars should be recognized. In 1954, congress changed the name to Veteran's Day. In the U.S., the holiday is celebrated by approximately 2.9 million U.S. veteran's with parades and ceremonies among other events.

Our family has had someone serve in every U.S. war since the American Revolution, including the Mormon Battalion.

Dad served in the Navy at the end of World War II, at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

George Cottam (Dad's Uncle) served in Germany in World War I. He was Killed in Action.

John Donohoo (Mom's Uncle) also served in Germany in World War I. He came home alive and shortly after returning died of a ruptured appendix on the way to the hospital.

Robert Burns Donohoo (Mom's Grandfather) left Tennessee to serve with a company from Illinois during the Civil War.

Oliver Gaultry Workman (Jacob Lindsay's younger brother) was with the Mormon Battalion.

Dewey Donohoo (Grandpa) served in Panama in WWI

Uncle Ross (Mom's Brother) was career Military.

He served in a lot of different places.

Max Skabelund served in

the military in the late 50's

and early 60s

Rich Coppel was in the

Air Force in Viet Nam

Steve, served in Operation Desert Storm

Adam, right, served in the current War in Iraq.

Today is a day to remember the Veterans who gave of their time and endangered their lives to keep us safe and free.

I am grateful to the members of my family both the ones pictured and the ones not mentioned who served in the military, and gave of their time, and for the families that stayed home to wait for them, worry about them, and pray for them.

SWINE FLU SONG

ALTERED PLANS by REBECCA TALLEY

TRUNK OR TREAT

Leanne and I went to our 1st Trunk or Treat at the church last night. We had plenty of spider web and spiders.

We had a black cauldrun full of candy, and bucket of non candy goodies.

There were some impressive trunks, people that are veterans of the Trunk or Treat world.

And of course cute costumes

and at times crowds

We had a good time, but we have a ton of candy left over, darn I guess we'll have to sacrifice and snack on it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

New bridge at the Hoover Dam

This bridge is good news for anyone that travels between Phoenix and Las Vegas or places in Utah, and has ever gotten stuck on the Hoover Dam in traffic.

Creeping closer inch by inch, 900 feet above the mighty Colorado River, the two sides of a $160 million bridge at the Hoover Dam slowly take shape.

The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself.
When complete, it will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona . In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face.
The arches are made up of 53 individual sections each 24 feet long which have been cast on-site and are being lifted into place using an improvised high-wire crane strung between temporary steel pylons.
The arches will eventually measure more than 1,000 feet across. At the moment, the structure looks like a traditional suspension bridge. But once the arches are complete, the suspending cables on each side will be removed. Extra vertical columns will then be installed on the arches to carry the road.

The bridge has become known as the Hoover Dam bypass, although it is officially called the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, after a former governor of Nevada and an American Football player from Arizona who joined the US Army and was killed in Afghanistan.
Work on the bridge started in 2005 and should finish next year. An estimated 17,000 cars and trucks will cross it every day.
The dam was started in 1931 and used enough concrete to build a road from New York to San Francisco. The stretch of water it created, Lake Mead, is 110 miles long and took six years to fill. The original road was opened at the same time as the famous dam in 1936.
An extra note: The top of the white band of rock in Lake Mead is the old waterline prior to the drought and development in the Las Vegas area. It is over 100 feet above the current water level.

Beautiful Paintings from the Hurricane Museum

At the Hurricane Pioneer Museum they have beautiful paintings lining one wall. I would like to share them. In the picture of Christ and the lambs, his eyes seem to follow you all around the room.

Luke 18: 16

16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
 

 
Mark 10: 14

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
 

 
John 10: 11, 14 , 16

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
 

 
JS-H 1: 49

49 The first thing that I can recollect was a voice speaking unto me, calling me by name. I looked up, and beheld the same messenger standing over my head, surrounded by light as before. He then again related unto me all that he had related to me the previous night, and commanded me to go to my afather and tell him of the vision and commandments which I had received.

WORKMAN FAMILY REUNION Day 2

Saturday Morning we reassembled at the museum

It was a chilly 54 degrees out, I was glad I remembered to bring a jacket with me.

We visited for a few minutes outside

before the museum opened and we went inside to a meeting room.

We had some cousins come this year as a result of an ad placed in the paper in that area.

Several people talked aout the history of the Workman Family in the Hurricane, Virgin City area.

Mark Workman

I don't rememer her name, but she runs the museum, and is also a Workman Cousin.

Also a Workman cousin, she found us through the Ad.

Violet Voss from Isaac Nataniel's line. She is always excited to tell stories from our family history.

Larry Streadbeck

Tom Hirschi, Mayor of Hurricane and a Workman Cousin.

After everyone that had something to share was finished we went upstairs to see the:

artwork and

displays.

We had lunch

and looked at some of the outside displays and monuments

And then headed up to the area where the Workman Ranch was.

This is the group that made the trek up the long dirt road.

Our last stop of the reunion was the Virgin City Cemetery.

We were there to rededicate the grave of Fanny Harris Morrison Workman, 2nd wife of Jacob Lindsay Workman.

Ann Streadbeck Bubert read a history of Fanny's life. and then the grave was rededicated by Ken Workman, one of her descendants.

Fanny's Headstone, purchased by the Workman Family Organization.

This is the area where Jacob Lindsay Workman was called to settle with his wives and children.
