They created pyramids, mummies and dioramas of ancient Egypt. Trie students did research projects to learn more about these ancient times. Been There, Done That Local Hunting and Gathering The first-grade students at Westside Elementary learned about ways to stay safe during Fire Prevention Week. Fireman Beach came to visit the first graders to teach them about fire safety. He showed the students what they should do if a fire starts in their homes. Liz Elder Grocery shopping is a powerful experience; the experience of bringing your hopes and dreams to fruition. You can't go to the store in October and not feel like something magic is going to happen. Deep mountains of richly colored pumpkins and squash beckon and memories of the smells of cinnamon and yeast swirl around in your head. Magazine covers at the checkout stand show imaginative imagi-native table settings, little ceramic figurines of pilgrims pil-grims or ghosts surrounded by sheaves of wheat and bunches of corn stalks on lace tablecloths with thick maroon colored candles.

The boxes box-es of sparkling unfilled canning can-ning jars and the anticipation anticipa-tion of giving jam to everyone every-one at Christmas with a red bow or a calico lid cover. You get out the recipes clipped from the newspaper and stuffed in colorful photo boxes you bought at the office of-fice supply the year you decided de-cided to get organized. Mine are in a big green three-rind binder that doesn't fit on the bookshelf with the rest of my cookbooks. I thumb through them and reminisce about making this salsa and egg casserole for missionary farewells and these cookies for Christmas the year I got pneumonia and had to stay in bed all day except for about four hours when I had enough energy to get up and wrap presents and take around gifts for the neighbors. That was the year my neighbor Natalie Parry gave packages packag-es of muffin mix from Lehi Roller Mills. That was the most impressive im-pressive gift we've ever gotten and gave me a lifelong life-long devotion to Lehi Roller Wf Y IRA n 00 s U APY $5O00-$24,999 APY $25,000-$99,999 y o APY $100,000 Varibale Rate IRA's,giiaranteed floors loiters Slew Members Welcome IRA Deposits are Federally Insured by the KCUA up to $250,000 Lehi 768-3312 Provo 377-3647 Springville 491-8993 Spanish Fork 798-1423 MOUNTAIN HIGH FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Our highest interest is Salem Branch-Opening Soon Payson 465-9898 Santaquin 420-9020 ' Eureka 435-433-2008 j Nephi I 435-623-2322 i Mills. It's a rush of selective thinking, of remembering everything good that's ever happened between September's Septem-ber's back-to-school night cookies from the grocery bakery and the last bite of popcorn ball on New Year's Eve. It's carving pumpkins for the front porch, feeling feel-ing slightly guilty that you didn't roast all the seeds for the kids. My granddaughter and I did her first pumpkin this year; her older cousins cous-ins had already left theirs on our front porch. She watched excitedly, as I cut the hole in the lid and lifted it out. "Yuck!" You forget how gross the inside of a pumpkin is when you're not expecting it. Now that we're invited to meals at our kid's houses, because it's easier to transport trans-port two people than four or five, I've forgotten how to cook some things. I've forgotten that sixth sense, that clock that ticks away in the back of your mind reminding you when to stir, when to turn things over. When something's done. My mind is more often occupied with trying to remember re-member stories to tell and admiring pictures of houses and cats, tall stick figures of myself and Granddaddy and Maggie, our dog. I'm relieved not to have to cook mountains of mashed potatoes and bowls of sweet potatoes with marsh-mallows marsh-mallows or Coke. I'm glad that my kids like to cook and can do a good job of it. I'm certainly delighted to share a few clean-up chores with others in order to pay for my relaxing time in the family room visiting with three-year-olds. But I still enjoy the smell of fall, the beautiful weather, weath-er, when it's not suddenly snowing, the anticipation of being snug by the fire with a blanket and a good book. I still enjoy a trip to the grocery in October. Trying to decide between a roast or meatloaf for dinner after af-ter the hot summer months of trying not to turn on the stove and still feed yourself. I love the incredible bounty boun-ty of still having garden tomatoes and chives, corn and peaches and plums. And crisp new apples and tiny new potatoes. October has it all. It seems like it might just be winter, but without having to shovel shov-el your walk. It might be summer, but you don't need sunscreea You can go to the grocery store and dream of all the possibilities waiting there to gather up and take home to your family. It's the perfect long as you can cook beans antidote to falling stocks with ham and brown sugar and presidential debates and hot biscuits on the side, and high gas prices. As what else matters?
