Ladies Fall Fling!
We are going to "Forest Meadows" where the guys go for
their golf trips. It is up near Sonora and we can stay in
the great house the guys stayed in. There is a big deck
and a good dining room table(for Mexican train) and it is up in
a pretty area. It will be a relaxing trip
with a little shopping, lots of eating, playing games and gabbing.
The dates are Oct. 8-10 and you need to send a $25 non-refundable
deposit to Vicki (made out to Las Madres). The first 8-10
people will get beds. At this time, there are only 3 beds
left. The following members have paid Vicki: Randi, Shirley, Kathy
R, Ruth, Joan, Vicki, & Ginny. Any questions, call or e-mail
Randi.

Annie Get Your Gun
Randi and Dave are performing this year in "Annie Get Your
Gun"(Rodger and Hammerstein's musical about Annie Oakley,
Frank Butler and Buffalo Bill).Randi is playing Pawnee Bill, the
owner of the rival Wild West show and in the chorus and
David is in the chorus and cowboy trio. The show is Sept.
29-Oct. 2nd at 7pm at Pioneer High School. The performances
are big fundraisers for the new Performing Arts Center(PAC) since
not enough money was given to the school from the insurance company
after the fire. These performances will be outside in the
OutPAC (there is a overhang) so dress warm. There is a form
enclosed in this newsletter to order tickets. If you want
to sit with friends, send your checks in together. Thanks
for all your support!.................Randi

THE MAYONNAISE JAR
AND COFFEE
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when
24 hours
in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar... and the
coffee...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items
in
front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a
very large
and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then
asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed
that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into
the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the
open areas
between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the
jar was
full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a
box of sand and
poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything
else. He
asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded
with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the
table and
poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the
empty
space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
"I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are
the
important things - your God, family, your children, your health,
your
friends, and your favorite passions - things that
if everything else was lost and
only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles
are the other things
that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand
is everything
else-the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued,
"there is no
room for the pebbles and the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you
spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never
have
room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to
the things that are
critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time
to get
medical checkups. Play another 18. There will always be
time to clean the house
and fix the disposal."
Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.
Set
your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to
show you
that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room
for a
couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
