Project Night Night

I stumbled across this website and thought I would pass it along. It is always shocking to see the numbers of homeless in this country. I plan to make up some blankets....hope others will too!

"There are approximately 298,000 homeless families in the United States.* Currently, there are more homeless children in the U.S. than at any other time since
the Great Depression. Nonetheless, family homelessness often goes unseen as most homeless families do not live on the street.** Instead, most homeless
families are transient, living in shelters, in cars, in hotels in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, or staying with friends or family members.*** These environmental
stresses negatively influence a child’s early experiences and often lead to an increase in mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, poor sleep
habits,
and behavioral issues."

"To ease the anxiety associated with shelter living, Project Night Night distributes Night Night Packages to homeless children ages 0-10. Each Night Night
Package includes an age-appropriate book, a baby blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuffed animal which can become a cherished friend. Finding comfort
is vitally important for children in order to feel secure, loved, and valued – even in the midst of the upheaval and uncertainty attendant to homelessness."

Altruistic Artist...... Another EtsyTreasury

I have created another treasury on etsy today. This time I have chosen artists that donate a portion of their sales to charity. Check out their items, and if you can...buy something and support them and a charity at the same time !

My First Etsy Treasury

Finally got it together, timed it right, picked some of my favorite etsy items and posted them in a treasury. This time I chose an assortment of autumn inspired items. There is a lot of talent and creativity out there! Check out My Treasury ....I'd love to hear your comments.

Autumn on Mirror Lake Highway

The other day we took a drive to see the "colors" on Mirror Lake Highway. It is one of my favorite places it the area, especially in the winter to cross country ski. It was a beautiful day and since it is snowing now, a good time to go.

I never see any actual wildlife.

Best Burger In the State?

On the way to Mirror Lake we decided to stop for an early lunch at High Mountain Drug in Kamas, Utah. Their hamburgers have been voted "best in state" this year, so we figured we should give them a try.

The burgers were cooked well....tender and juicy. The bun was fresh and the cheese gooey. My only complaint was that mine was a bit heavy on the mustard...next time I would request less.
We also had a side of the fresh cut fries. They looked nice and golden brown but they were soft and greasy. Even with the under cooking (or maybe the oil wasn't hot enough) they tasted good. I think they would be fabulous if prepared correctly.
High Mountain Drug is like a step back in time...quaint and reminiscent of simpler times. The setting alone is worth a visit...it is well worn but clean and welcoming.
So, do their burgers deserve the title of "Best in State"? I'm not sure about that, but they are as good as any others we have tried so far.
