Relief Society Fix it yourself day

 We had a Fix it yourself Day at Relief Society from 10am to 2pm on Saturday 23 June.  This table above has many ingredients that will go into making home made cleaners that are environmentally friendly and easy to make.  they handed out recipes as well.
 This class was about fixing dry wall problems.  We could have used the information in this class when we had the house in Mesa after David kicked a hole in the wall.  I guess I could do the repairs now but I really hope that we do not have to fix any holes in our walls in Prescott.
 The meal was a "grab and go" meal - we were free to take what we wanted and were allowed to eat while the presentations were going on.  Pretty easy and the M&M's were the first to go off the table.  Well, we must realize that chocolate is a food group.
 This is the schedule that we followed.
 This was the heating presentation.  What to do when your heat does not work - what to look for and how to do something about it before you call the plumber at 2am in the dead of winter.
 This was how to fix the sink and dripping fawcets.  Really really interesting.
 Elder Hill and Elder Morales taught us how to change a tire.  Elder Hill has worked with Large Trucks since he was 14 so he knows a lot about vehicles and how they work etc.
 Yes, even though we had a tarpaulin available, he was on the ground in his white shirt and tie showing us where to put the Jack so that we do not damage the car.  His best bit of advice - read the owners manual before attempting anything.
 Elder Morales is from Guatamala and he was showing us how to put the tire back onto the car.  It is a safe bet that his Mayan ancestors had never come up against how to change a tire like this.
Even though he taught us how to do it,
I think I will still call AAA 
if I get a flat
tire.
