We, uh, sort of hiked the Y the other day. We actually only got to the second switchback before deciding that it was way more fun to just take crazy pictures hanging off the fences and jumping off rocks. We took this picture early on while it was still light enough. Before heading to the trailhead, we stopped at Subway to grab some sandwiches. Of course I wore the glasses in. There was a little boy, probably about 1 1/2 standing on one of the benches. I tell you, he was totally in love with me -- couldn't keep his eyes off me for a second! (I was nice enough to let him try the glasses on, but only for a minute. I didn't want to lose my stunna shades!) I got a slightly less admiring reaction from the college students at the creamery after the "hike," but no less entranced. What a laugh!

A laugh a day (or three dozen or so) keeps the doctor away :)
Is not this the funniest story?! I just had to smile when I was reminded of it yesterday. Just picture how a "defective" cart must have made those grocery store employees chuckle.
President Monson told this at a General Young Women's meeting a few years ago. "To illustrate, may I share with you an experience which took place several years ago when Sister Monson had been hospitalized because of a fall. She asked me to go to the supermarket and purchase a few items. This was something I had not done before. I had a shopping list which included potatoes. I promptly found a grocery cart and placed a number of potatoes in it. I knew nothing of the plastic bags in which purchases are normally placed. As I moved the cart along, the potatoes fell out and onto the floor, exiting through two rather small openings in the back of the cart. A dutiful clerk hurried to my aid and called out, “Let me help you!” I tried to explain to her that my cart was defective. It was only then that I was told that all the carts had those two holes in the back and that they were meant for the legs of children."
