Everyone I spoke with concerning the hunt asked if I had seen this deer. I waited too long but I did get to see the horns at Buckley's Taxidermy shop. They were impressive. If the body matched the horns, I would guess the deer would have been near the 250 pound range. I asked John if they weighed it and learned that they did not. When there is no 'big buck pool' no one goes to the trouble of weighing their deer. I understand this was Kathy's first hunt and I'll bet it makes John wonder what he has been doing wrong all of the years he has hunted. "•' .. . . , I met out two new sister missionaries while.at the Post Office the other day and had a short but enjoyable visit with them. I mentioned that I would like to welcome then in the Knothole and asked for their given name and their reply was, 'Sister'. They informed me that they did not have time to read the "Insider". I told them they would be in the Knothole this week and they could at least cut it out and place it in their journal as a memento of their stay in Panguitch. Sister Bartlome is from Vernal and Sister Kreiburg is from Denmark. I hope they have already experienced that friendly Panguitch feeling we are noted for. Harold and Winona Sevy spent a recent weekend in Nephi visiting with the family of their son and daughter-in-law, Ken & Annette Sevy and to attend the farewell program for their grandson, Nathan, who is soon to enter the MTC to prepare for a Spanish speaking mission in Knoxville, Tennessee. Marilyn Veater and Ardith Davis are home again following their 10 day vacation to Southern Mexico as part of a tour group sponsored by Marian Walker of Henderson, Nevada. Ardith and Marilyn traveled by plane from Las Vegas to Villahermosa where they T H E GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER joined with the other 75 members of the group who then boarded 2 busses for their tour throughout much of the "Book of Mormon" country of Mexico. Harvard and Colleen Heaton, former residents of Panguitch were on the same bus as Ardith and Marilyn. (This could be called a 'Panguitch Connection'.) With 6 people from Panguitch in a group of this size, it is a sure bet that the entire group knew much about Panguitch before the 10 days were over. According to what Ardith has written.for me, all 6 of them had a very enjoyable time. They visited most of the historical and notable sites in the area and even took a 2 hour boat ride up the river that separated Guatemala from Mexico. The only down bit of the entire 10 day tour was being barred from visiting the city of Oaxaca because of rioting that was going on. This was more than compensated for by being able to spend an extra day in Mexico City visiting many of it's historical sites and attractions. From Mexico City they returned by plane to Las Vegas. There are several travel bureaus that sponsor tours to this ares, some by BYU and other educational institutions, and from what I have been told, it is a tour that everyone should take if they possibly can The week of October 30th to November 3rd was "Red Ribbon Week" at Panguitch High School. This was a part of a state wide 'Say no to Drugs' program. The culminating activity was a 'Mat Dance* during the final hour of school Friday morning with dress being formal or semiformal. When my two grandsons, Russell and Brian Moore came up to go through my tie collection looking for a black bow tie and a square end tie, I became curious and went to the gym to see what was going on. It was nice seeing students having a good time dressed as they were at a mat dance, but I still can't understand why students can't dance with the lights on. During our Stake Temple Daylast week, Evalyn and I met Matt Edwards and his wife, Carolyn, while we were having lunch in the cafeteria. Matt was employed by our school district as a math teacher at Escalante High School a few years back. Matt is now employed by Washington County School District as the Technology Education Teacher at Pine View Middle School. He and Carolyn said to tell all of their friends in Escalante-and Panguitch, "Hello", so I am doing so through the Knothole.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house." The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them" "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house." Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly, Blessed are the cracked: For it is they who let in the light. |
