Paul and I had a glorious trip down to St. George to celebrate our 26th anniversary.
We stayed at the same B and B that we spent the first night of our honeymoon. It was an quaint as ever! We went for a moonlit walk around the temple in the rain and observed that spring is definitely sprung in this desert climate. The daffodils were blooming and so were certain trees around the temple. I really enjoyed being there right after a major rainstorm because the air felt so crisp and clear.
We had a great breakfast and wonderful chats with fellow guests. Then we went shopping, out to lunch, and to the brand new Brighams Playhouse to see Little Women, the “Little” Musical.
It was so well done.
I just sat marveling at the space, a really intimate theatre of 230 seats. The cast was community, but with a splash of professional talent. I talked to the guy who played Laurie at intermission and he said that they hired seven professional full time players to take the leads and then filled out the cast with community talent.
I thought it was a brilliant way to do community theatre. They are going to produce several really great shows during the next few months, so if you are down south in Utah, look them up and go see a show! Here is the Web Site.
Little Women will be playing through the month of march.
Here is a video from the photos and vids from my iphone:

Paul took this amazing photo of the St George Temple, it is my new favorite:
I was so happy to have a few hours alone with my sweetheart, I adore him as much as ever…
I am really excited to welcome Joan on the show. She has written some of the most passionate and thoughtful articles against the Common Core of anyone on the web.
Quote:
“Common Core is Completely Untested
Common Core Standards are completely untested experimentally yet are being inflicted on virtually every student in the entire U.S. from K-12 with NO PREVIOUS TESTING. This is an egregious violation of basic ethics and good science and shows the developers’ absolute disregard or ignorance of potential harms to children. The EPA conducts more testing for the food dyes in Kool-Aid than has been conducted on Common Core which kids will live with for 8 hours a day for 12 years.”
I have read a few articles the past few days about all these dead bankers. Click HERE to read the latest.
“It’s become a health hazard to be a banker. What evil lurks beneath the pile of bodies?
In growing numbers, the bodies of bankers are piling up in the streets — at least eight global financial types in recent weeks (and five others in the past year). And a financial reporter for The Wall Street Journal walked out of his house and mysteriously hasn’t been seen or heard from in weeks.
So what gives? Three of the bankers worked for JPMorgan. One worked for Deutsche Bank AG. Others for companies not so prominent, i.e., not “too big to fail,” but possibly implicated in one or more of the number of investigations being undertaken in FOREX fraud and the LIBOR scandal. Maybe they uncovered something they shouldn’t have. Maybe they knew too much to begin with. Some of the “suicides” have been deemed “suspicious.”
In the Doctrine and Covenants is a scripture that talks about our day. It says:
“26 And in athat day shall be heard of bwars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and men’s hearts shall cfail them, and they shall say that Christ ddelayeth his coming until the end of the earth.”
It appears that we are winding down this experiment in Keynesian Economics that has laid waste to our world economies for the past hundred years.
And the big question is what is the transition to Austrian Economics and Freedom going to look like for the average family?
When I was a young mom I had many promptings about preparing myself for end times events. This meant that we spent time and resources on food storage, books to self educate, and as I have said over and over on my blog, I made the choice to learn Mothering Self Reliance.
Whenever I would have a dream or a prompting I always thought the event that would compel me to need a skill or a practice was just around the corner or weeks away. This made for some funny purchases as I prepared. One time I had a dream about us cold and in need of warmth. So I went to wal mart and bought big snow suits for the whole family. We did end up using those now and again for sledding and camping in the mountains, but mostly they took up space in the closet and I eventually sold them at a garage sale.
Now that we are completely prepared for whatever may present, it is interesting that it is the economic world that is wobbling.
During my dreams and in my waking nightmares as I contemplated which sort of a scenario might cause us to need the skills I always thought it would be a war or a natural disaster.
But an economic collapse, especially on a world wide scale could also be as devastating as anything else.
I love this video that describes the difference between Keynes Economic Theory and Hayeks Austrian Free Market teachings:
I hope and pray that any sort of collapse around the world does not affect you too badly dear reader. Ukraine and Argentina are wobbling like Greece did two years ago and unfortunately the way we are all wired together, one default may mean many defaults.
